I am wondering what my chances are about being accepted to certain schools in New York City. I’ve been having a rough time lately with personal issues, causing me to transfer before. I am still very conflicted about what career I want to pursue and, of course, my personal issues are not helping with that decision.
I had a high GPA in high school. I had a 4.0. Unfortunately, my high school was not very demanding or a top school. My school only offered 4 AP classes and you could only take them during your senior year. So I took AP US History and AP Literature. I got a 4 on APUSH and a 3 on AP Lit.
I think my SAT scores were strictly average, if not a little bit below average. I’m not sure of the new scale for SATS, but according to my transcript, I took my SATs in 2015. I took them twice so the highest from each category are: Reading - 570. Essay - 8. Math - 490. Writing - 560.
My original college was Temple University. First semester I was on Dean’s list, but my GPA dropped slightly during my second semester. I had 30some credits at Temple before I transferred to a smaller state school (again personal issues). My end GPA at Temple was 3.78.
I am now currently at a smaller state school. I was undeclared at Temple but at my state school I am currently going to Elementary Education, meaning I am taking all teaching related courses. However, I am considering changing majors, possibly to something to do with Public or Global affairs or marketing.
I’m just very lost right now in my life and I recently went to New York City and fell in love with it. I’ve always wanted to live in New York, so I’m wondering if maybe this would be a good start for me. What are my chances of getting into schools there? Is NYU out of the question?
