<p>My SAT scores were around the same, my GPA was a little higher, I took 3 AP classes my senior year and one my junior year but no honors classes in high school. I’m a white female living in NY and I work part time at a local day care and never took any NYU class before. I was however, very involved in after school activities throughout high school. </p>
<p>I was not admitted into NYU’s CAS, but I was given a spot in NYU’s Liberal Studies Program. This is something NYU tends to not mention because you cannot apply directly to it, its a program for students who don’t quite meet NYU’s high standards but are still considered good students and a good “match” with NYU. Aim for CAS, but look into LSP too, because it is a good option, and I ended up choosing it over some other very good schools. I picked my classes for the fall and other than having to take 3 required classes, there really is very little difference in CAS and LSP, at least at this point in the game. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
