Scared and frustrated out of my mind.

nyu poly is my top choice school and i am afraid to apply at all…

priority deadline is coming up and i want to submit my app but i was wondering what everyone thinks of my app:

Academics/Test Scores:
GPA: 3.00 UW

Max SCIENCE/MATH AP’s/Hnrs availaible.

ACT: 28
super score: 29
SAT: 2010
Super score: 2010

SAT2’s: 660 BIO E/M and I just took math2 and i think i did reasonable.

Regents: all 80s and a 78 in chem (i was in a car accident the day before and had 48 stitches and was in a crap-load of pain/stress)

Extracurricular:
Nothing spectacular. Average stuff-

3 clubs with no positions in any (3-4 years in all clubs)
Out of school sports (tennis/karate/swimming)
volunteer work ~150 hrs at hospital
Doctor Shadowing ~120 hrs in foreign hospital

raised a huge amount of money with an organization for funding at the same hospital i shadowed at.

Essays/LoRs:
Essays are well written.

LoRs are also strong especially the one written by the doctor i shadowed who was director of his department

no major hooks besides the fact that i am the first person in my entire extended family to ever go to an american university but i am not sure that makes me first gen or whatever cause my parents are both educated (doctors).

Major: Bio engineering/premed (should i mark undecided instead to increase my chances?)

i posted the same thread a long time ago but with some ‘hypothetical test scores’ but it never worked out under a different name. Forgot the password and username though…
