Note: I had posted this on the 2012 forum for NYU…but I am looking for some broad opinions. This is repetitive and I apologize, but please give me a chance. Pun intended, ;D
I am currently looking for some stern, rather detailed, opinions! I would really appreciate if you would narrow my chances for NYU!
I’m currently an Undergraduate Student at The University of Texas Pan-American.

Here is my current progress:
Major: Biology [looking forward to double major–including Journalism]
Minor: Psychology
GPA: 4.0
Current Credits: Over 30. I will be done with my sophomore year.
Current Activities: (Though this is a very minuscule list compared to my High School Resume that had a flippant amount of activities…I have been solely focusing on my GPA)
-Anthropology Club
-Pan American Writer and Editor (school newspaper)
-Currently shadowing a Physician Assistant at an OGBYN office.

High School–past progress:
Grade Unweighted and Weighed: 98.2/104.6
Graduation Rank: 6/486
Test Scores: Thankfully, these do not need to be submitted because I have already met the requirements in order to be “exempt.”
ACTIVITIES:
Band Member: Saxophone player and flute player
Band Librarian
National Honors Society Member
Key Club President
World Club Journalist
Interact Club Member
Princeton University’s LEDA round 3 canidate
Track Bronze Runner
Texas Border Patrol Honor Award
Student of the Year Award
UIL Journalism Member
AP Classes: English, Calculus and Physics

I also stress that I write a blog that has been asked to be featured in Princeton and Yales’ student journal. I write for the sake of writing–because I love it. save your scissors
And how must I forget! Speaking of my blog, I was offered an internship for Teen Vogue.

Thus, I am confident my short responses for the supplement essays will be solid.
My recommendation letters will be solid.

So, friends! PLEASE chance me and be absolutely brutal! I need it!
