Please, chance a nervous wreck. NYU Stern/BC CSOM

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>So my letter from BC should be arriving either tomorrow or Saturday. NYU's decision will arrive on April 1.</p>

<p>I'm an absolute nervous wreck. I'm shaking as I type this. I'm so scared of disappointment, and I figure, well, why not prepare myself for rejection with a chances thread?</p>

<p>So, here's my stats: </p>

<p>GPA: 94.2 Mid-year. Not sure how this translates to a 4.0 scale. </p>

<p>SAT: 660 Math (easily my weak point), 720 Critical Reading, 770 Writing (2150 Composite)</p>

<p>AP Scores: 3 AP World History, 4 AP US History, 4 AP European History, 5 AP English Language and Composition. </p>

<p>SAT II: 650 Math I (Ergh...), 760 Literature, 680 US History. </p>

<p>Class Rank: My school doesn't rank, and my school is fairly competitive. I'm surrounded by kids getting into MIT and Ivies like it's nothing. But I'm probably top 20 or 30, if I had to hazard a guess. </p>

<p>Course Load: I've been in AP Classes since freshman year (AP World), and this year I'm taking three: Psychology, Literature, and Government. All classes that weren't AP and had available honors were honors. Other courses for this year:</p>

<p>Meteorology
World Religions
Calculus </p>

<p>Essay: I think it was good. My AP Lit teacher found nothing wrong with it, but I know my skills as a writer, and quite frankly, I know that my essay was not the absolute best that I could do. It's not bad by any means, though. I worry that it didn't stand out enough.</p>

<p>Recommendations: One was probably good-great from my AP English Language and Comp teacher, the other was most likely positively glowing from my French teacher of three years. </p>

<p>Extra Curricular: Will have about 100 Hours of service upon graduation, I'm the assistant stage manager of my school's drama club, I'm in NHS, and I'm in a few clubs here and there. I play Varsity Volleyball, too. </p>

<p>Hooks: The only ones I can think of are that I'm an only child, and neither of my parents went to college. I'm not sure if those qualify as "hooks" though. </p>

<p>I'm very aware that Stern, at this point, is wishful thinking. That's a Top 10 business school, and I don't think my scores are where they need to be to get me in there. BC Carrol...I don't really know where I stand. Sometimes I'm confident, and other times I'm really not. It depends on the day. </p>

<p>So, CC, what do you think?</p>

<p>First you gotta relaxxx. Your life isnt going to depend on NYU and NYU only.
But NYU is sooo hard to judge. Really smart kids apply there as there safety for schools like Columbia and Yale.
However if i had to bet my life on it, i would bet that your in. Ap classes since your freshman year, 2100 sat, 94 gpa. Those are great Stats. It is anyone’s guess though, but like i said if i had to bet my life on it, I would say your in

<p>Chanced you for NEU and UConn :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Can anyone comment on BC? It’s really what I have on the brain right now since I know I’ll be getting my letter really soon.</p>

<p>idk too much about bc and i wouldnt want to give false hope. But from what i know its very similar to NYU (maybe even less compettitive) sooo dont get too down on youself. I can guarantee you will get into one of those two schools.</p>
