Chance a gentleman.

NYU is one of my top choices and I would really appreciate any responses! my grandma runs a scholarship program if that means anything, other than that, here are my stats, release the hounds!

I am a junior, I took the SAT once, no studying, taking it again next week with a prep course (hopefully a large improvement) but my first score was a 1930

good public school in Upstate NY, top 20%, but school doesn't rank.

3.5 GPA UW with the hardest course load, numerous electives, I will graduate all honors with at least 5 APs and a lot of college credits.

Extra Curriculars:

4 years (2 JV 2 Varsity) XC, 4 years varsity tennis, 2 years indoor track
MUN club
Class Government, VP of class sophomore year and a lot of involvement with prom planning etc.
Femtastic gender equality club, involved in a lot of advocacy movements
business experience working for my dad's company (too much to write about here, good stuff though)
Entrepreneurial ventures (again, a lot of details)
Volunteer work with adaptive ski program, I help developmentally disabled kids ski
Camp Counselor all summer (following being a camper for 7 years)
7 week leadership summit last summer in which I helped developmentally disabled adults play sports and other activities.
Nominated for Boys State, will most likely be attending
as many NBA rings as Lebron

Recs will be good i'm sure, and I will write a good essay.

I would apply as a marketing major with a minor in Government

Thank you!
