<p>I’m having a difficult decision with deciding whether or not to apply early decision to George Washington U or NYU. These are my stats:</p>

<p>SAT: 2030
Sat II: Math 2, English (have not completed yet)
AP: (Only available senior yr) US Government and Politics, English, Calculus (have not taken yet)</p>

<p>GPA:4.0
Rank: 8 of 148</p>

<p>ECs:
National Honors Society
Jam Sessions- (music club-im a music production major in high school)
Academic Challenge Team
Drama Club
R.E.B.E.L.- county representative
Atlantic Cape Community College- sociology= A, microeconomic=s A, macroeconomics (havent finished yet), newswriting (haven’t taken yet)</p>

<p>Awards:
Cape Assist Award- Anti-Drinking Public Service Announcement
School Counts
First and Second Honor Roll
Congressional Student Leadership Conference- acceptance, didn’t attend because of fee</p>

<p>I’m live in a tourist town. I go to a technical hs. I am African American.</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot. You’re an URM which will definitely help you get in. What school would you be applying to?</p>

3

<p>I don’t think being a URM really helps at getting into NYU. It’ll really depend on what school you apply to. </p>

<p>By the way, I was also very much so between two schools for ED and ended up pulling applications at last minute because I was so confused. Don’t do this! Be sure you have your heart 100% on a school before you do ED.</p>

<p>chances are, you will get into both schools. I recommend you doing regular decision. That way you can pick between the two after the whole package comes</p>

<p>That SAT is below average, make sure you retake that. That fact you are a URM does not help you too much for a school like NYU that has more than plenty of URM’s to accept. I would say NYU is a low reach depending on what you get on your SAT II’s.</p>

6

<p>^ how is the SAT below average?
I think its perfectly on target. You have a good chance.</p>

7

<p>if you read his whole post, you would notice he is a minority Nuclear. That SAT score is fine</p>

8

<p>Actually commentcomment, if you read my post, you would notice I actually did say the OP was a minority, and a 2030 is in the bottom 25% of all SAT scores.</p>

<p>Like I said, being a minority does not help much for NYU. It does help a little however.</p>

9

<p>GPA is great, if UW. SAT is low for NYU, average for GWU . ECs are solid, but average. </p>

<p>And don’t put that you got “accepted” to the Congressional Student Leadership Conference. The adcom will laugh your application all the way to the pile of rejections. I suspect that these acceptances are sent to tens of thousands of kids. I got one, as did my twin brother, and my little brother. If you follow through with it, put it on your app, otherwise, forget about it.</p>

<p>Fortunately, you have time to get those scores up. Break 2100 and you’re golden for either school. Good luck!</p>

<p>according to co11egeboard, my sat scores are right in range.</p>
