<p>Going to be a Junior in High School next year.
Just looking to get a rough estimate of the marks I need to achieve this year, and next year.</p>

<p>I live in the suburbs of New York. Not too far from Manhattan.</p>

<p>No SATs/SATIIs/ACTs. As for, I am taking them this year.</p>

<p>I am on the path to getting my Advanced Regents Diploma. </p>

<p>Math Scores - I have been up and down with them for the past few years, averaging a low 80s. However, on the Math A regents I scored an 89, and on the Math B regnets I scored an 85. Both were mastery.</p>

<p>This year I have taken Honors History. Which, on the Global regents I scored a 96.</p>

<p>Took Language for the 3 required years, earned an 83 on the regents. I did poorly. Italian is not my strongest subject. </p>

<p>Bio was fine. I scored an 83, as well. I blanked out on half the test. But, oh well. </p>

<p>As for classes I am taking this year - AP Accounting, Pre-calc, US History Honors, Regents Chem, and English 11.</p>

<p>Nothing “amazing”. But, I am aiming for mid to high 90s in all.</p>

<p>I do not have any current extra activities or anything. HOWEVER, I ran my own business for two years (game/website). Worked with several thousands of dollars, had a whole fleet of staff, thousands of members, hundreds of thousands daily pageviews - It was a very successful site. I shut it down, due to depression. :x </p>

<p>I am hoping on joining Interact, or Yearbook this year. Sports aren’t exactly my thing. </p>

<p>Essay writing is pretty solid. If you give me some diet coke and a few hours, you’ll have a perfect essay. Haha. </p>

<p>-x-</p>

<p>With that being said… What do you think I need to work on? And, where would I stand for a chance to get into NYU Stern?</p>

<p>Get good sat1 and sat2 scores. Do more ec’s. Get better grades.</p>

<p>You haven’t given us much too look at no SAT’s etc. Repost later in the fall.</p>

<p>Alright. Thank you guys. :)</p>

<p>Also, I Just got an SAT Class thing in the mail today. It’s bolding that over the past thirty years they’ve helped students increase their score 150 points or higher. $400. Worth it?</p>

<p>And, What constitutes as good SAT1 and SAT2 grades?</p>

<p>Just try to get the highest grades possible, and take AP classes if your school offers. Come back and post after you take SAT I/SAT II’s and you’ll probably have a better idea. </p>

<p>As for the SAT class, only you can tell. My friend paid $1,000 for a Kaplan course, the teacher was terrible, and the whole class dropped out and got a refund - however, they no longer had a class to prep for the test.
I paid $400 for a class taught by 2 teachers from my school who I know and like, and my score went up 300 points - I only had to take the SAT once. </p>

<p>So if you think you need the course, take it, but you may or may not get your money’s worth.</p>
