Stern Chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University
1

I am currently a junior from one of the largest and toughest high schools in the Chicago land area. I am really interested in NYU and it is definately my first choice school, particularly interested in Stern.
Here are some of my stats:
GPA: 4.03/4.8 Weighted, 3.48/4.0 unweighted. My freshman year grades are solid, but one of my best friends was really sick sophomore year, and it affected me a lot. My junior year grades will definately be better. Also, I’m on the fastest and most rigorous curriculum at my school.
ACT: 34 with a 36 on writing.
Class rank: NA
I haven’t taken the SAT, but I plan on taking SAT2 math, any suggestions on what I should take?
Extra curriculars:
Co-founded a club that helps freshman study for their finals. Since my school is so big, the finals can be intimidating for freshman.
NHS
Tri-M (music honor society)
Highest level orchestra, been playing since I was in 1st grade. Also, my orchestra was short on viola players this year, so I volunteered to switch from violin to play viola.
Soccer, been playing since I was in 1st grade, been part of school team for 3 years now.
Executive board of Chinese club
300+ volunteer hours
Thought international students in China about life in America and the culture (fluent in Chinese)
Immersive summer research internship at Northwestern University for Biomedical engineering, 40 hours a week for 8 weeks, created a poster of our research and presented it at my school.
Applied for a scholarship at University of Cambridge, really competitive, might not get it.
Classes taken/taking: AP Physics 1, AP Euro, AP Calc BC, APUSH, AP Bio, AP English, AP Macroeconomics.
AP scores for physics and euro are both 4’s.
Next year I plan on taking accounting, microeconomics, ap French, ap stats, ap environmental science, ap literature, ap gov. Been taking French for 4 years
I will have a really strong essay, NYU is my top top choice, and I have a good sense of who I will ask for my rec letters.
Also, I’m an Asian male, if you couldn’t tell by now

PLS HELP AND THANKS SO MUCH.

I was just admitted to Stern. Definitely take SAT Math 2 and try to get a 800. I also took SAT USH and got a 740. If you really want Stern, derfinitely do ED, especially if you are at a competitive high school with a lot of kids applying. At my school tons of kids applied, so the fact that I did ED, most likely helped my chances significantly and could of been the reason I was admitted.

The only issue with your resume, is that your UW GPA is pretty low, so focus on pulling up your grades if you can for the end of this year and the first half of your senior year.

I think you have a good shot. Good luck
