<p>Supplementary recommendation letter from NYU Deputy President</p>

<p>Staying at NYU,NY campus for 10 days this Summer as part of the aforementioned summer program</p>

<p>Planning on not submitting my SAT’s if I’m not scoring ridiculously high</p>

<p>Some of my ECs: -Creating a school IB website/forums. -4 years Horseriding. -Recreational soccer/basketball. -Archery -School MUN -City-wide MUN 2013, Security Council (toughest council) and won Gavel Award (essentially best delegate overall). </p>

<p>Work Experience: Week-long intensive training at one of the country’s leading banks</p>

<p>Now, regarding my non-IB grades, how important are my freshmen and junior year grades? I honestly did not do ANY work during those years and I have a crappy 3.3GPA in grade 9 and a 3.06GPA in grade 10. This year, however, even though I’m doing the IB I’m working very hard and doing extremely well (Among the top 5 of 65 IB students)</p>

<p>Grade 11 GPA has been 4.2 <a href=“Weighted”>90-91% average</a> for Semester 1, Semester 2 seems like its going to be higher, around a 93-94% average</p>

<p>Chance me for NYU Stern,</p>

<p>Also as a side note, how do I look for Georgetown McDonough EA?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I think it might be a reach for you. (why not NYUAD?)</p>

<p>you should also provide un-weighted GPA.
some kind of class rank or estimate would help also.</p>

<p>Your GPA will definitely hurt you, but upward trends are good. </p>

<p>Do you have a chance? Yes. But, you’re definitely not an auto-admit or highly likely.</p>
