<p>I'm a rising senior with a strong desire to go to NYU.</p>

<p>Applying to Steinhardt, majoring in Communications, RD.</p>

<p>GPA: UW- about 3.6 W- 4.1
SAT: 2040 M:700 W:700 (essay 10) CR: 630 I know my CR score is really low but if I were to take the test again, it would be my 4th time :/
SAT Subject: Chemistry 650 US History 750
AP Courses:
Junior year- AP Lang&Comp (4)
Senior year- AP Calc (expected 4 or 5)
AP Euro (expected 4)
AP Stats (expected 5)</p>

<p>EC: Marching Band (4 years, counting senior year), Fire department (2 years) about 250hrs, Library volunteer (1 summer about 48hrs), Spectrum volunteer (for mentally disabled, about 30hrs), and CATS thrift shop (about 30 hrs)
Clubs: Chinese club 4 years, Secretary soph year and VP junior year; Model UN 4 years, secretary senior year, Supply club 2 years</p>

<p>I'm female and Asian, and my sister currently goes to NYU but she's graduating when I'm applying. Will sibling legacy help me, even if it's only a little?</p>

<p>First off, I’m a volunteer at Spectrum for Living, too! :smiley: I’m assuming you are a resident of northern NJ?? Anyway, I think you stand a pretty decent shot at NYU Steinhardt, even applying RD. Not sure of the average stats for that particular school - if they’re even available - but your SAT score is within the average range of admitted NYU students’ scores. UW GPA is a little low though, but I don’t think it will matter too much. Best of luck! **And a word of advice: I would not recommend taking the SAT for a 4th time (I took it twice and am just accepting my 650 Math score), but maybe you should try the ACT, which I think is more math-oriented.</p>

<p>yeah I live in northern NJ haha! bergen county? :slight_smile:
and thanks for your input! i’m actually a more english person than math…it’s just that when it comes to reading comprehension on the SAT, I always screw up:/ I’m not a good test taker.
I’m really hoping that I’m within range for NYU Steinhardt.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance. Usually legacy only helps if you are applying ED. I would strongly recommend applying ED, I think it would make up for your slightly low GPA. Good luck!! </p>

<p>@eateverycookie Yep, I’m from Bergen County and go to BCA in Hackensack. And I’m planning on applying to NYU CAS or Liberal Studies RD if I don’t get into my ED I/ED II schools :)</p>
