<p>I would like to do premed but would like to major in something related the chemistry/biology engineering. The perfect major is Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. </p>
<p>Anyways I am a senior and would like to do anything to attend NYU and any of it’s schools. I understand how even if I do apply to NYU CAS ED 2, my app will be reviewed by NYU-Poly (read it somewhere on this site if i plan on doing anything eng. related), however my chances for now are extremely slim and hopefully after I take my SAT, my chances will increase by a lot. My only thing is that NYU-Poly’s stats are a bit lower than NYU CAS’s and if I were to apply to NYU-Poly, my chances would go up a bit but however since I would ED to NYU CAS, wouldn’t my app go to Poly? So where exactly should I apply to get the best chance at attending NYU?</p>
<p>What is your GPA? SATIIs? APs? List 'em. And give us a realistic rough for your SAT.</p>
<p>In my opinion, NYU poly is not really NYU… It’s like a weird thing in Brooklyn. I wouldn’t waste my time on it. </p>
<p>I am sure that someone who knows the program and school a bit better than me will be able to help out, but as a NYU CAS student, I don’t see it as anything worthwhile.</p>
<p>How about if you apply to NYU CAS as an Engineering major? If you get accepted to CAS, you will be able to purse the dual science/engineering degree program with NYU Poly. The combinations you may want to check out are B.S. in biology/B.S. in chemical and biomolecular engineering and B.S. in chemistry/B.S. in chemical and biomolecular engineering. </p>
<p>If you don’t get accepted to CAS, at least your application will be forwarded to NYU Poly and considered for the single degree engineering program.</p>
<p>@Monoclide:
My stats roughly are:
1860 SAT (waiting for november results[estimated 2400])
3.0 UW GPA
3.2 W GPA
ALL HONORS in math and science. Have taken AP chem/psych/physics b (now)/calc ab(was put in ab cause bc would not fit with my schedule; but am self-studying bc)</p>
<p>I ended up dropping stat/spanish/human geo/ comp sci this year.
Extremely competitive high school.
My only SAT2 is a 660 in Bio. </p>
<p>I plan on retaking my SAT in December just in case I don’t land the 2400.</p>
<p>NYU doesn’t require subject tests anymore but I plan on taking them in january, but it would be to late by then anyways.
I know that a 2400 will improve my standing a bit but it also shows a bit of negativity with me being lazy.</p>
<p>@sharptech: Does applying as an engineer major still allow me to participate in LSP?</p>
<p>By the way guys, people who applied/accepted to the Poly from my school have worse stats than my current SAT score/GPA.</p>
<p>It is impossible to jump from an 1860 to a 2400.</p>
<p>Regardless, an 1860 + a 3.0 is not likely to be accepted to CAS. I’d say that for every .3 you are off from 3.7, then you need a 100 points on 2000. Likewise, a 3.4 (B+/A-) would need like a 2100. And a 3.0 would need a 2200. Assuming, of course, these classes are all honors/advanced/AP. </p>
<p>AP classes can also help. I’m sure if you have a 3.3 with a 2K SAT and 6 APs… you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>It really comes down to the perfect balance among them, but when you have dropped AP courses, a 3.0 GPA, and a low SAT, then it becomes very unlikely. I’m sorry.</p>
I’m sorry.</p>
