<p>Hey everyone, I am looking for some help on my chances to get into a few colleges. It’s kind of out of my comfort zone to post something like this but I have no older siblings/cousins who have applied to college + it’s been a while since my parents applied so they don’t really have much knowledge on the subject. Any help, advice, etc. appreciated. Don’t really know much about college admissions/financial aid so anyone who helps is the bomb.com.</p>
<p>Here’s some info:</p>
<p>Class of 2015</p>
<h1>3 of just over 100 students</h1>
<p>Charter school with business pathway</p>
<p>Freshman Year: Principles of Business, H. World History, H. English I, Health/PE, Spanish I, H. Biology, H. Geometry
Sophomore: AP Government, H. Algebra II, H. Chemistry, Microsoft IT, Accelerated Spanish II, H. English II, H. Civics

Senior (haven’t taken these yet, just signed up): AP Bio, AP Human Geography, AP Calc BC, AP English Lit, H. Spanish IV, Business Advanced Studies</p>
<p>UW GPA: 3.96 / W GPA: 4.91</p>
<p>AP Scores: All 5’s on Government, US History, Enviro., Psych, and English Lang.</p>
<p>SAT:

<p>ACT:
32 (32 English, 31 Math, 36 Reading, 29 Science, 11 Writing subscore)</p>
<p>ECs/Volunteer/Work: My only EC at school is National Honor Society where I was treasurer. Honestly, I did nothing as treasurer for the whole year but I was in fact the treasurer. Through my school and/or NHS, I have maybe 20 hours of volunteer tutoring as well as about 20 hours of odd jobs/opportunities volunteering. I do media for my church several times a month, racking up about 100 hours of volunteer hours through that each year and possibly around 30 more hours through other opportunities in my church. I have had 3 jobs. First as a sales associate at a local bookstore (hated it, quit). Next, a job as an after school teacher watching kindergarteners and first graders. I love doing it and I’m still working there during the school years. Lastly, a substitute summer camp counselor. As a sub, I don’t work much there.</p>
<p>I want to apply to medical school one day because I’m really passionate about the idea of helping people. I’ve seen lots of members of my family in hospitals (sometimes good - births - sometimes bad - strokes). I want to help people like doctors helped the people I care about. So I would do a premed track at the school I apply to. However, I don’t want to major in biology or biochem b/c should I not get into medical school, those are two majors I would absolutely hate to have. I don’t want to be a biologist/chemist; I specifically want to be a doctor. I love majors in cultural studies or humanities and social sciences. I would go towards that while doing premed track. I also want to minor in Spanish and become bilingual because I love speaking Spanish and Hispanic culture + major resume booster to be bilingual.</p>
<p>I know this was long; sorry but thanks to anybody who read it and leaves me some advice. Should I apply to NYU? What are my chances? Like I said, I’m basically lost on the whole college admissions process and just need any advice. Thanks!</p>
