My name is Adam Szekeres. I will be a high school senior in September. I am attending Walter Johnson High School which is on of the best public high schools in MD. I would love to go to NYU cuz its my dream school.
I have a 3.6 unweighted gpa and a 4.25 weighted gpa. I got a 30 on the ACT.
I also have 248 SSL hours. I am the president of the international club and treasurer of the Start-up club and member of Amnesty International and Esol Honors Society. I also own my own start-up actually 2 which are in the developing stage. I also co-created several apps which are on the Appstore. I got 3 recommendations from my english, math, and esol teacher and will get one from my business mentor. I would like to get admitted to the business program but letters and sciences would be amazing too. I am international student but lived in the USA for 4 years now cuz my dad is a diplomat. I have traveled to many countries and experienced many new cultures. I mostlz took APs and Honors courses. I got a 4 on the Ap World exam and a 3 on the AP NSL and planning to take AP Psych and Comparative government and will try to get a 4-5 on both.
Please help me cuz i am freaked out.

Your chances seem to be pretty good. Work hard on your essays, and you just might get in. Good luck!
Did you really just say that GW and NYU are your “dream” schools? Just make one thread please.
Definitely a reach imo. Your gpa and ACT scores are on the lower end of most Stern students
NYU stern would be a reach for you because of your stats. My brother attends NYU stern and he got in with an extremely upward trending GPA which was around 3.75 unweighted but his junior and first semester of senior year were 4.0s. He took 5 APs his senior year so he was showing that he was becoming more serious about education overall. Also he had a 34 ACT and skipped a grade (skipping a grade only matters because it is something different that can make you stand out in an applicant pool). I would say that you should definitely apply because you never know, but you should definitely try to get your ACT score to a 33 or above. Also if you haven’t visited NYU, make sure to do so because it is a different school that is not right for everyone! If you have the time please chance me back on my thread!
