<p>Wow. We have the EXACT same SAT scores. yes. for each section too. EXACT. That is creepy.</p>

<p>I got into NYU with similar ECs and lower GPA. I think you can shoot much higher than your list.</p>

<p>Thanks for your response; it makes me feel better to have someone with similar credentials make it into NYU. As a response for why I’m shooting for UF versus name-brand private schools:<br>

  1. I want to stay in state
  2. I would rather not pay large sums of money for private colleges, which I am not really sure would provide a better education.
  3. Many of my friends are going or want to go to UF.</p>
