<p>in 100000000% (speically after your "also of interest" area)</p>

3

<p>ya you were lagging until I got to the "also of interest" the super geeky robot thing is cool, but why NYU, there are way cooler places to go for engineering type things you seem to excel at.</p>

4

<p>how do you know your essays will be outstanding?</p>

5

<p>do you know what you will be majoring in, or at least what you're writing on your app?</p>

<p>when looking @ your SAT score, i thought it looked good, until i realized that your writing score was keeping it high at 2110...but from what i've heard, NYU is still going to take the verbal & math scores into consideration as if it was a 1600-point SATI and then the writing in place of the SATII writing that they accepted...since your scores are V680 M640 W790 i would say try and get them up a bit since your score out of 1600 would only be a 1320...doesn't seem like it would be too difficult for verbal since you scored so well on the writing portion...but good luck nonetheless :D</p>
