i’m surpised i got accepted to NYU CAS (i got an acceptance email, it’s offical) among these crazy applicants…
i took only one AP course in junior year and am taking three courses this senior year, and got “3” on that AP exam last year… pretty terrible. But my school offers only 2 AP courses so i guess NYU understood my situation.

My SAT scores were 2020, (M 720, CR 650, W 650) and my GPA was about 3.75/4.0.
I think the reason i got accepted was my essay, i explained hardships i went through since english was not my first launguage. Though that essay topic could have been cliche, but i am sure that my essay was really unique and stood out. i didnt just list my hardships, for sure.
