What are my chances of getting into NYU?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hi all,
I am a sophomore who is wondering if I will be able to get into my dream school: NYU. This has been my dream school for as long as I could remember, since I am in love with NYC and the school itself. Below are my stats:

Freshman Year GPA: 4.22
Sophomore Year GPA: 4.28
PSAT Score (Recently took the new one out of 1520): 1100 (this is without any studying or preparation)

All of my classes are honors classes and I was 1 of 14 people picked out of my entire class to take the only AP class offered to sophomores at my school (APSUH)

My mom is also an alumni from NYU Stern

Extracurriculars:
Tennis Team (2 years)
DECA (2 years)- Have a leading position and have qualified for states since freshman year
Business Investment Club (2 Years)
Tutor at the Local Middle School
Chemistry Olympics
*I will be doing community service this summer for 2 weeks
*Trying to be apart of National Honors Society (You cannot join until Jr. year at my school)
Volunteered at the local hospital

What do you think? Do I have a good chances if i apply ED and keep up with my grades?

I think you have a good shot! Try to make it so you have an upwards trend with your grades, and take leadership roles in your extracurriculars. Your stats as of right now are very competitive, and your sat/act scores will improve with studying/prep. Good luck!!:slight_smile:

It depends on which division of NYU; there is a great variety in acceptance rates.

4

I’m most interested in either NYU Steinhardt or NYU Stern. What do you think my chances are for either or?

5

I would be most interested in the college of arts and sciences since I am an aspiring dentist. Do I have a good shot?

6

Well, which is it? You contradict yourself.

Sorry, I wrote the wrong school… I am most interest in College of Arts and Sciences or Stern. Either would be ideal because I am still deciding between a major in Finance of Biology.

Hey guys, what are my chances for ED I Biology at College of Arts and Sciences?

I’m currently an Asian-American male junior attending a private international school in Taiwan.

I have generally A-/B+ grades (out of the 38 classes I have taken from my freshman year up to my 1st semester of junior year, I have received 7 B+s and nothing below that).

My weighted GPA is a 3.95 and UW is around a 3.7. I took only an Honors English class in 9th grade and the rest were regulars. For my sophomore year, all my core classes were Honors (English, Precalculus, Chemistry) and I took AP Euro.

My scores so far are:

  • SAT I (Old Version)
    1st Attempt: 670 CR, 720 M, 730 W (2120)
    2nd Attempt: 660 CR, 800 M, 690 W (2150)
    Super-Score: 2200
  • SAT II Math IIC: 790 I plan on taking biology and chemistry.
  • APs: AP Euro: 4 I'm currently taking 5 AP Classes (AP Lang, APUSH, AP Calc AB, AP Psych, and AP Bio).

I feel pretty worried about ECs though- don’t have many awards and other stuff to offer:

  • JV and Varsity Cross Country: 9th and 10th grade
  • Student Government Member: 11th grade
  • Worked as a laboratory helper at an infectious diseases research department at a public hospital
  • Possibly another internship this summer + Rustic Pathways trip to Thailand to learn about public health.

Thanks for putting in the time to read my profile! Any feedback is welcomed~

@applesofwar It is rude to hijack someone’s thread, especially to do it for three different threads at the same time. Start your own.

Soo…chance me anyone?

13

No one can chance you without test scores. Also, UW GPA is more helpful since schools weight GPA differently

@applesofwar nice!! i’m living in Taiwan too and also applied to NYU

@applesofwar You should definitely get those SAT IIs up!! Though your SATs are pretty good, getting them higher wouldn’t hurt!
