<p>uve got a really nice set of ecs there! gpa is fine, but your SATs are weak. what did you get on the Math section (this is very important for those schools)?</p>

3

<p>650 on math.........i'm surely not proud of that.</p>

4

<p>Wow fluent in 5 languages... that can get you a great career...</p>

<p>Well, your ECs are great, but your test scores are not. GPA is pretty good, and of course applying ED to NYU will help. I definitely think that you have a shot at these schools because of your ECs, but granted, those alone won't get you into college.</p>

<p>If you feel like it... <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/621725-took-risk-blew-any-hope-left.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/621725-took-risk-blew-any-hope-left.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>try retaking that math section. i would say you have a great chance IF you raise that math score to atleast 750+. give it a shot. good luck! :)</p>

<p>wow 1500 hours of cs. impressive. There is something unique about you and I am sure the adcoms will see it too. But, your test scores are below par.
NYU - high match/low reach
UCLA/CAL - Low Reaches
Ivies - high reaches.</p>

<p>Your EC's are great and your GPA is fair. However, your test scores will hold you back from schools like Cornell and UPenn. Do you have time to test again?</p>
