I’m a junior. I have no idea where I can hit, but as far as I know I want to go to NYU and I hope I can get in! Any chance I will?

GPA: 3.75 (unweighted) - freshman, sophomore combined
I take the IB diploma now so I don’t have GPA… but I will get a predicted grade out of 42 soon next semester!

The IB courses I take:

English A1 HL
Math HL
Biology HL
Chinese B SL
Economics SL
Drama SL

SAT 1: 2080 (CR: 630, M: 770, W: 680 [best essay was 11/12]) - definitely going to improve…
SAT 2: Math 1 - 710, Math 2 - 700 (MUST improve), will take Biology M

Extra Curriculars:
Basketball - Freshman (2 years), Junior Varsity (2 years), Varsity (3 years)
Soccer - Freshman (2 years), Junior Varsity (1 year), Varsity (1 year)
Cross Country (2 years)
Track and Field (2 years)
Model United Nations (2 years - 4 conferences)
Choir (2 years)

Summer Activities:
Center for Talented Youth (3 years)
Stanford Forensic National Institute (1 year)
Dale Carnegie Training - TA (1 year - twice)

Leadership Roles:
Varsity Basketball Co-captain
Choir Bass section leader
Model United Nations school ambassador

Awards:
Basketball - 3 time MVP, 3 time All-Tournament Team, 4 championships (4 runner-ups, 1 third place [we’ve placed in every tournament we’ve played]
Track and Field - various awards eg. sprints, shot put, discus



I realize that I’m not as loaded as other applicants… but I have really few opportunities since I live abroad! I realize that I have really limited awards… only sports. I have so few community service activities that it would seem pathetic naming them!

Do I have a chance?
