Hi, I’m a current junior in high school and NYU has been my dream school since seventh grade. As a junior, the panic of having to apply to my dream school next year is starting to set in. I want to apply to CAS for either psychology or linguistics (not sure which one I want to apply to first, I’m going to double major). Following will be my hopefully decent resume:
I go to a high school/vocational-technical college, and you can apply for magnets/academies (similar to a college major) and you will take your academy class through all 4 years in high school. I am in the Visual and Performing Arts Magnet, Theatre Academy. We also work on a 4 quarter grading period.

What are my chances?? There’s no other school I want to go to. I will also be applying to NYU Early Decision I.
