<p>the only time its acceptable to ask for your chances at a school, is when you are considering not applying.</p>
<p>so if you ask people and everyone tells you your chances are damn near impossible, then might as well not waste the application fee </p>
<p>I’m going through this dilemma.</p>
<p>I dont know if I should bother applying to NYU</p>
<p>Iranian/female
California Community College GPA : 3.8</p>
<p>High School GPA: 2.8
SAT I: 1520/2400, low SAT II also.
Political Science Major
I’ve also taken 2 courses at UC Berkeley
Upper Division Social Theory: A+
Introduction to the Middle East: A</p>
<p>(this should prove my As in community college weren’t bulsit)</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
Percussion Instruments (I’ve performed at UC Berkeley, Weddings, etc)
Table Tennis Club</p>
<p>not paid for it, but i take care of my brother who is disabled (family responsibility).</p>
<p>do you guys think i will be forgiven for my really crappy high school record and SAT scores, given my stats in college?</p>
<p>I feel as though everyone else who is applying had great SAT scores and high school GPA…and I’m new to the “trying in school” thing.</p>
<p>would i be wasting money by applying? its just my SAT that I feel will throw my chances out the window for sure.</p>
<p>Your high school GPA and SAT scores are not good.</p>
<p>You’ll have to make a very strong case for why you should be admitted to NYU on your essays. I think it might be doable, but it’s not going to be easy.</p>
<p>APPLY APPLY APPLY.
You never know - you show determination for learning and pursuing the best education that you can, especially iwth courses from UC Berkeley. I also had a low SAT score and GPA (I won’t lie, a bit higher than yours), and my guidance counselor told me I had no shot in hell that I’d get in, but I used my essay to give a deep, emotional explanation as to why my GPA was so low. I got GSP’ed, and while I don’t think you can get into CAS, try your hardest, and do your best to really sell yourself on that application. They want to see YOU and why YOU want to go to this school, not why your transcript wants be in the same pile of a bunch of other transcripts.<br>
Give it a try, you never know, you might surprise yourself.
And you’re Iranian, what can be better than that? (salam, persian girls represent =) )</p>
<p>How many credits, do you have at the CC?</p>
<p>They might not look at hs grades, but will look at SAT, I am not sure, if you can block sat records from NYU, you can block the score but can you block the fact that you took it?</p>
<p>i have 44 units in community college, including the cal course.</p>
<p>lol the funny thing about my SAT scores is that my social security number with collegeboard is wrong (dumb mistake i made). </p>
<p>so i guess technically i didn’t even take the SATs</p>
