fozziepear · March 30, 2013, 10:10am

I couldn’t get the format to work, sorry!

Decision: Accepted: LSP (Applied Gallatin)

Objective:

ACT: 30
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.8
Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): Top 25%
AP (place score in parenthesis): AP Lit (4) and APUSH (4), my school doesn’t offer many APs.
Senior Year Course Load: AP Macro, AP Psych, 2 English electives, Physics, Humanities Research III honors (like science research), 1 Social Studies elective, French 4, PE

Subjective:

Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): A LOT of music stuff, as I had planned to be a music major up until like a year ago. Played harp for 4 years, bass for another 4, played at some big venues in NYC like Lincoln Center, took music theory lessons, got a full merit based scholarship to continue studying at my music school. I was in several clubs, nothing big. My brother also has several disorders so most days I have to stay home and watch him because my mom works full time.
Job/Work Experience: Cashier at a supermarket for summer of 2012
Volunteer/Community service: 30+ hours at the local community center, 10+ hours at Food Bank.
Essays: Strong. I thought I showed a clear vision as to what I wanted to study and why I wanted to attend NYU at the NYC campus.
Teacher Recommendation: One of them was pretty strong and the other one was okay.
Counselor Rec: Probably pretty good - we get along and she knows me well.

Other

Applied for Financial Aid?: Yes, got basically nothing.
Intended Major: Individualized Major
State (if domestic applicant): New York
Country (if international applicant):
School Type: Public
Ethnicity: Latina
Gender: Female
Income Bracket: Middle class? (definitely not lower, definitely not upper)
Hooks (URM, first generation college, research, etc.): Humanities Research - 3 years long, a lot of extra work, basically a smaller individualized major.

Reflection

Strengths: I am very familiar with the school, I took a 3 year long honors research course at my school which would have been great for Gallatin , I have a lot of music credentials, and my writing is strong.
Weaknesses: I forgot to submit a sample of my Humanities work which would have boosted my credibility, a lot of kids from my school apply to NYU (32 did this year), and my scores were good, but not fantastic.
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I think they took me to LSP because there were several other applicants from my Humanities class who were probably stronger than I am in a lot of ways. Given my lack of ECs and my comparatively light course load, it makes sense that I wasn’t accepted to my top choice college.

General Comments: Although I’m really really happy I got accepted, I probably won’t be attending NYU because of the terrible financial aid they gave me (literally only $1k, when my dad is unemployed, our house went into foreclosure, and our credit is ruined). I was expecting it to be bad, but not THAT bad. I can’t afford to take out over $55k in loans, and NYU doesn’t have much incentive to make me attend because a) LSP, and b) there are plenty of people who can and will borrow that money to go to NYU. I’m a little disappointed, but I got a full scholarship to Hunter so I’ll still be in NYC while getting a good education. Congratulations to everyone that was accepted, and good luck to all future applicants!

[] Job/Work Experience: summer camp counselor, guitar lessons/performances
[] Volunteer/Community service: nothing significant apart from NHS hours
[] Essays: common app essay was about music, NYU supplement was about Isaac Newton. In my opinion, supplement essays sounded like I was just running through the motions.

[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: My senior year has been indicative of what I’m really capable of, and I think NYU focused on that. If you can show growth in your application, your case will be strong![/li][/ul]General Comments: Not sure if I will be attending. Although NYU is stellar for macroecon, the school is nowhere near as financially feasible for me as UConn is. Also, I wasn’t a big fan of the area when I visited, and the student body seems very stratified. Probably going to decide after the weekend in Washington Square
