Hey guys!! so I’m a rising senior here and I’m considering applying ED to either NYU or BU.
I’m applying to Stern for NYU and Questrom for BU. I’m attending a private all-girls school in the USA but I will be applying as an international student. I took AP Language and AP Bio, as well as several honors classes. Senior year I will be taking AP Euro, AP Lit, and AP Chem. My school only offers 9-10 AP classes so I haven’t taken that many.
SAT: 2120
GPA: 3.8ish unweighted
Rank: top 20%
Ethnicity: Asian
EC:
NHS secretary (3 years)
Mu Alpha Theta member (2 years)
International Thespian Society member (2 years)
Drama Club secretary (3 years)
French Club historian (3 years)
High School Theatre (3 years)
Ecology Club officer (2 years)
Social Justice club (2 years)
Other:
150ish hours of volunteering at government organization to help children in third world countries (4 years)
Internship at a korean company (1 year)
Honor Roll Status (4 years)
Placed in the National French Exam (3 years)
I definitely have room for improvement, but as of now, what are my chances for NYU and Boston University if I apply ED?
(both are my dream schools, but I honestly am more partial to NYU. I don’t know if I should apply ED to nyu because it’s my top choice, or to BU because it has a slightly higher ED acceptance rate from what I heard and would be a safer option.)
Also, someone told me that for schools like NYU and BU, it is almost essential to have taken Calculus in high school if you’re applying as a business major. I’ll only get up to PreCal by senior year; will this be a really severe disatvantage??
Thanks a lot, guys! I will definitely chance back if you want. Every opinion helps!
