<p>I put this in the chance thread as well.</p>

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I was rejected by Columbia ED, so here I am. </p>

<p>From Los Angeles
Caucasian Male</p>

<p>Schools: NYU, Princeton, U Chicago, Dartmouth, Emerson, BU, USC, Brandeis, Fordham, Oregon, Hofstra, Vermont.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.6 unweighted, 4.07 weighted </p>

<p>SAT: 2090. Reading 740 Writing 750 Math 600
ACT 32
Essays: Common App Literary figure who has influenced...wrote about Jack Kerouac and how he inspired me to become a writer. A little experimental at times but I really like it and so did my english teacher.
For U Chicago Find X: wrote a short story about my contemplative moods that provoke writing, definitely experimental.
For Princeton Used a quote from On The Road and wrote about my love of Jazz.</p>

<p>AP's: Sophomore: Euro History 5
Junior: US History 5, English Language 5, Chem 1
Senior: Statistics, Biology, English Lit, Government, Econ</p>

<p>EC's: Marching and concert band 4 years (trumpet section leader)
Jazz Band 3 years (lead guitarist) </p>

<p>Prospective English/ Creative writing major.</p>

<p>I know Princeton and UChicago will likely not happen, however I would be very disappointed if I didn't get into both USC and NYU...I think I should be able to get into one of those, hopefully NYU. Thoughts?</p>

<p>Thank you all for your help. </p>

<p>You’re probably applying for CAS as an English major? IMO you’ll get in.</p>

<p>Yes, College of Arts and Science-English Major. </p>

<p>Thank you for responding.</p>

<p>Yeah no problem.</p>

<p>Your numbers will get you in, not to mention your EC’s. Just worry about how you’ll pay the debts from one of the most expensive schools in the US.</p>

<p>Anyways I’m applying for CAS as well as an International Affairs major, but as an Early Decision II applicant.</p>

<p>Good luck and hope to see you there!</p>
