<p>Hello friends. This is another "Chance Me" post. I'm sorry if you're tired of seeing these posts everywhere and find them a complete bore but I would very much appreciate any/all help. Beware, this is a lengthy post and I apologize in advance.</p>
<p>As of right now, I have applied to all of these schools (my applications and writing supplements were all sent a couple of days ago):</p>
<ul>
<li>Boston University </li>
<li>Cornell University </li>
<li>New York University (NYU) </li>
<li>Pace University </li>
<li>SUNY Binghamton </li>
<li>SUNY Geneseo </li>
<li>SUNY Oswego </li>
<li>SUNY Stony Brook </li>
<li>SUNY University at Albany </li>
<li>SUNY University at Buffalo </li>
<li>Penn State (University Park or Altoona) </li>
<li>Fordham University </li>
<li>St. John's University </li>
<li>CUNYs (Hunter, Baruch, Brooklyn, Queens, and Lehman)</li>
</ul>
<p>My top five schools (not in any order) that I wish to attend are: </p>
<ul>
<li>Stony Brook University (THIS IS MY DREAM SCHOOL!)</li>
<li>NYU </li>
<li>Cornell University</li>
<li>SUNY University at Buffalo </li>
<li>Penn State </li>
</ul>
<p>To give some background information, I go to an early college high school in New York City. Because of this, my school does not offer any AP or Honor classes but rather, offer students to take up to four college classes during their senior year of high school. Some of my stats are:</p>
<ul>
<li>G.P.A.: 94.23 (unweighted) </li>
<li>Class Rank: 11/106 or in the top 10%</li>
<li>Currently taking/took four college classes (Chem 100, English 120, Math 125, and Math 150) </li>
<li>Extracurriculars: volunteering by delivering home meals, museum internship, apprentice at after-school program, job at a retail store, participant of Jiu-Jitsu </li>
<li>I have asked my English, Chemistry, and Physics teachers for letter of recommendations </li>
<li><p>My essay is probably the strongest part of my whole application (I talked about the religious and cultural complications within my life)</p></li>
<li><p>SAT Superscore: 1790 (I took the SAT three times already and my recent December 2014 SAT scores were the highest)</p></li>
<li><p>Highest Critical Reading Score: 570</p></li>
<li><p>Highest Math Score: 610</p></li>
<li><p>Highest Writing Score Score: 610</p></li>
<li><p>Combined Critical Reading + Math: 1180</p></li>
<li><p>ACT Composite Score: 26 (I took the ACT once and I don't plan on taking anymore)</p></li>
<li><p>English: 27</p></li>
<li><p>Math: 28</p></li>
<li><p>Reading: 28</p></li>
<li><p>Science: 21 (ugh)</p></li>
<li><p>Writing: 8</p></li>
</ul>
<p>In my opinion, I think my SAT scores are going to be the downfall of my application. I have never been good at standardized testing (then again, who is) and I fear them for my life. Also, because I didn't take any AP or Honor classes, I think my application won't be as strong as other applications in which the students did take AP and Honor classes. Moreover, I didn't take any SAT subject tests so I have no idea what role that will play in my application. I know Cornell requires students to take SAT subjects tests for some of their undergraduate programs so I didn't choose those specific programs. Besides, I know my chances at Cornell, NYU, and Boston University are VERY slim so I won't be holding my breath.</p>
<p>However, I do have a GREAT interest in Stony Brook University. Like I said before, it is my dream college and I have always wanted to attend there since I was in the ninth grade but I'm not sure if I have a chance at even getting in. My horrible SAT scores fall a little short at what they consider the middle 50% value. I just hope to the holy Lord that I get in!</p>
<p>In essence, I would like to know what are my chances at getting into any of these schools. I'm open to any suggestions/questions/comments but please refrain from making fun of me lol. And I am so sO SO for this extended question/post!!!</p>
<p>THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS!!! :+)</p>
