<p>I posted this on the what are my chances board but I was hoping for more specific feedback here.<br>
Ok so here goes. I am a white jewish female from NJ (no points there!) If it matters I was born in England moved here in 96. So anyway I guess I'll list my stats and please, any feedback will be read. (I was going to say appreciated but I may not appreciate it but I will certainly read it lol) </p>

<p>GPA: 93.5 unweighted (huge upward trend, junior year gpa about 97)</p>

<p>SAT: 730 CR 710M 660W = 2100 (Am retaking June, shocked by writing score, hopefully it will improve-practice tests were like 750s)</p>

<p>SAT II: haven't taken yet, will take oct/nov in us history, math IIC and maybe lit. </p>

<p>Classes: taking 4 AP's total, max that school allows, and am in honors for math and science. I attend an extremely rigorous, dual curriculum school, which means that in addition to math, science, history,english I have four other judaic classes every day. </p>

<p>APs: us history, biology, english, calculus AB</p>

<p>Rank: It is a very small, very competitive school, that doesn't rank. My rank would be approx 15/50 (50 is the biggest grade we've ever had!) Which I know looks bad but It needs to be taken in context. </p>

<p>ECs (prob my weakest point other than class rank):
Student Ambassador Committee : 9, 10, 11, 12
Drama Club: 9,11,12
Newspaper: 11,12 (reporter, then world news editor)
Charity committe: 9, 12 - (possibly chair of committee, TBA)
Literary Journal: 12
Worked as Youth Leader in my synagouge: (8,9,10,11,12)
Worked as Youth Leader in backyard camp during summer (9,10,11)</p>

<p>Well I guess thats it. I've been to visit NYU and liked it and I was hoping to get some feedback from people who are there. Thanks!</p>

<p>its really hard to say, the prestige of your school may trump the low class rank,etc, so think positive. There is such a wide range of high schools out there, some send many to top schools, some send none. I am sure your school sends some every year. Hang in there, donna</p>

<p>my schools not really prestigious just small and filled with smart people. I think there is a difference college admissions wise, so I think this still may hurt me.</p>

<p>yeah. I hate to say it. But that will hurt you... though from personal experience, i can relate to how much that sucks.</p>

<p>Bump your SAT up a wee bit. Apply Early if you are sure you wanna go. Write some awesome essays and i dont see a lot in your way.</p>
