Hi guys, first post.

I realize its kinda late and i have 2 weeks before the letters arrives but i just found out i got waitlisted at washu and it got me curious as to my chances at nyu.

applying to stern
asian male, texas
SAT 1: 1490 (730 math 760 verb)
SAT 2’s: 780 writing, 630 lit, 680 math 1c
National Merit Finalist
GPA: 4.40 rank 60/800 (really competitive huge school)
9 ap classes, (4 senior year)
3 APUSH, 4 eng3, World Hist, 5 Psych
EC’s: four years of orchestra, 1 year tennis, 1 year vp of service club, 1 year pres/founder of college-oriented club, school newspaper editor (staff for 2 years), local newspaper internship, nhs
and my biggest one is a marketing firm internship senior year
good recs (one from the marketing exec)

i think whats a mark against me is a good number of b’s through the years. especially a low b in pre-cal junior year. i still have a decent rank though?

what do you guys think?
