<p>It has always been my dream to live in New York and I’m hoping I get into NYU.</p>
<p>My stats are: </p>
<p>3.8/4.0 weighted </p>
<p>SAT: 1540 (Yes, I know it’s horrible 
)</p>
<p>EC:

<p>My personal statement is a compelling essay about when I told my parents that I was homosexual. </p>
<p>Supplement talks about why I want to be in LSP and travel abroad( because I love to travel and learn about different cultures and learn different languages) and the major that interested me, Language and Mind (I gave a story about how I an diagnosed with OCD which led me into learning cognitive disorders and how I want to go into researching Artificial Intelligence) </p>
<p>Would being a gay, low-income first generation Latino being the first to go to college help?</p>
<p>I feel like my test scores are going to get me rejected, but I’ve also heard that LSP gets students who are “missing” something, such as having low test scores. </p>
<p>I hope I get in :(</p>
<p>Thanks for taking the time to read this!
