College Discussion - View Single Post - English Programs for NYU, Kenyon. (and do I have a shot?)

lt.milo · 06-03-2008, 05:35 PM

2 questions here:

I'm going to be a senior soon so need to start making some college decisions. I know that both Kenyon and NYU have excellent English programs, but was wondering which has the better department. I will visit both school, but I want to know as much as I can about their academics before I do. Other recomendations for schools would be appreciated (see my profile below).

First, I want to make sure that I have a shot at these schools. I don't have a great gpa, only the mid-to-low 3's but my classes are pretty good (a couple AP). My SAT scores are very weird. 730 Reading and only 590 Math. I will take them again this week but don't know how much I can improve. My letters of recommendation and my essay I am confident will both be very good. Will my average gpa and low Math score kill my chances?

Thanks for your help!
