Question about nyu!!?!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Sorry for the crazy title. I just really want a response. </p>

<p>Please excuse my informal writing</p>

<p>Ok so I was talking with my "college counselor" (<< she's not very good at her job) and I asked her what my chances were of getting into NYU. She said, "very slim."</p>

<p>Heres more about me:
I am black, hispanic, spanish, english, french, native american, and carribean.
My gpa is a 3.7.
My SAT scores were right below 1800.
There is a lot more about me and what I do, so this is just to give you a vague picture of who I am.
I am decent/good at writing essays.
I've taken 5 APs and have had As in all of them.
I go to a decent private school on long island. It's apparently one of the best in the country ( I really don't know how valid that statement is).</p>

<p>Can I get into NYU? And are my chances "very slim?"
Also, I am not poor, but I am not rich. Middle class, but we do have money probelms. My mother is a nurse manager, but we are in a little bit of debt due to a failed real estate buisness that my father left to us when he died. PLEASE RESPOND. Thanks for taking the time to read this! </p>

<p>Also I am applying with the decided major of Law. I plan on being a Lawyer in the future.</p>

<p>First, you cannot apply for the major of “law” as law school is a graduate school not undergrad and there is no “law” major in college. Second, I do not know about “very slim” but NYU should be considered a reach; your SAT is below its middle 50% range and if GPA given is weighted you may also be on the low end there although A’s in APs can help.</p>

<p>SAT below 1800 really hurts you
I don’t know about your ECs and other things but
when i just simply look at your SAT score
i would say NYU is a big reach for you.
But try at least and do the interview
They would accept you if they see your true image.</p>

<p>chance me back?

<p>Yes, you could definitely get into NYU. If you were a junior, I would have STRONGLY suggested that you apply ED. Though you SAT hurts you, your ECs, essays, recs, and other things can balance it out. Don’t give up on yourself :-).

<p>1) Majoring in law is not possible; you can major in political science, history, etc. but not law. You want to go to graduate school for law.</p>

<p>2) Your SAT scores are lower than what NYU usually accepts</p>

<p>3) There are tons of other kids out there who take harder courses and more of it and get higher SAT scores and higher GPA</p>

<p>I’m not trying to crush your dreams and chances. You wanted to know, I’m telling you.
If you write an amazing essay, maybe you’ll have a better chance. But right now, NYU is a med reach school for you.</p>
