Hi everybody!

I’m a junior at a competitive Catholic prep high school in New York. I’m planning on applying ED to NYU Steinhardt and Major in Media, Culture and Communications.

My weighted GPA has always been in the 3.77-3.82 range (out of 100: 92-96)

SAT’S
SAT II: Chem: 630 Math I: 630 (I know, they’re low.)
Taking the SAT I in March and the ACT in April; If it’s any indication I got a 203 on my PSAT, so I’m hoping for an SAT score around that number.

10th: AP European History, Honors Chem, Math3B, American Lit. Honors.
—I got a 4 on the AP Euro Exam.

Next year I’ll be taking AP Government/Politics, College Spanish and College Writing (the latter two are offered at my school by St. John’s University)



Extra Curriculars:

I’m planning on volunteering at my local animal shelter in January, and am getting a part time job this summer.

I’ve played the piano since age 7 and have danced since age 5.
