So I’m currently a junior at a pretty competitive private school in Virginia. NYU is my absolute #1 and I can’t imagine not being there. Right now, I have an approx. 4.03 gpa. I got an 1110 (math+crit. reading) on my first SAT and I know that’s not very good at all, but I’m hoping that will go up. I am pretty set on the music business program at Steinhardt, primarily because I am fascinated with the networking world of the music industry. I am fluent in Russian, I have over 150 hours of community service, I play piano, drums and bass with about 10 years experience and a few very significant connections within the jazz world (very serious about music esp. jazz), I’m a member of the NHS and I’m an ambassador for the NSHSC. I was accepted into the Stanford Jazz Institute, one of the premier summer jazz programs in the country available to minors only by competitive audition, at the age of 14 and have been doing the program every summer since. I am also the CFO of a coffee company that my school started (it’s actually a real company selling real coffee lol) and I was one of 3 people selected to meet with the CEO of Chikfila, Dan Cathy. I also applied for the What Makes a Star music business summer program at NYU, but I don’t know if I got in yet. Given all of these Ec’s ect., what do you think my chances are, and also, do you think the course is worth the cost? I was also looking at University of Toronto and Mcgill because I love Canada and those are very good schools. Any and all advice/feedback would be awesome!
