I'm planning to take Math IIC (goal:750) and Bio(goal 720)
My gpa is unweighted and I did not take any honors courses so far
except AP math</p>

<p>For senior year I'm planning to take Multi Variable, AP Stat and AP Bio
For EC</p>

(but I'm planning to make a club in senior year and join school Math team)

<p>Oh I forgot to mention this
I am going to apply NYU as bio major</p>

<p>So...
few things that i am worring about are
low GPA, No clubs or sports, and no awards</p>

<p>what do u guys think about this stat
would i make NYU(CAS) as early decision?
Also what is the most important thing that I should do to get into BC as early action?
I want your HONEST answer~</p>

<p>thx alotz</p>

<p>Your EC's are a bit lacking I think. While your SAT and SAT 2's are decent, your GPA is clearly on the low side even when you take into account the competitiveness of your high school. Being an Asian from a private school in NJ isn't going to help you either.</p>

<p>To be frank, NYU is going to be a reach for you. Its not impossible for you to get in, but you shouldn't bet the house on it either. If NYU is your first choice, you'd be VERY wise to apply early decision..you'll have your best shot there. The RD round is going to be much tougher for you.</p>

<p>Good luck and keep us posted!</p>
