[@beyblade332]

Im thinking about transferring to leon m goldstein though. I feel the school is destroying my future

[@Goals9]

What was your SAT Score because I know these Florida university’s want you to submit it or did you do test-optional?

[@beyblade332]

Can you share your stats and ECS that got you waitlisted at yale and got you into NYU and UC berkeley?

[@asiangsus]

i would also choose nyu, that’s my dream school fr

[@curtischen8440]

My son went to NYU and loved it. I went to Columbia in the early 80s....so different now....pretentious, arrogant....

[@tcooperbeauty]

And I don’t blame you for going to NYU! Welcome to my city, you should be very proud of yourself! 🥰

[@ayapapaya23]

LOL that sudani voice is recognizable anywhere🤭 🫶🏾🇸🇩

[@farrahjordan1396]

You had a lot of success. I’m a sophomore. At the end of freshman year, my unweighted gpa was a 3.75 Edit: gpa is a 3.83 after the first semester of sophomore year. I hope this is decent.

[@blpst]

try to bring it up to 3.85-3.9 range for high tier schools, but don't sweat it too much your freshman year barely matters

[@rosiekookies293]

i've always wanted to go to UC Berkeley and NYU! do you mind sharing how you got in and your essays? x

[@ayapapaya23]

They’re both great schools! I’ll think about maybe making a video about why I chose NYU and maybe talking about some aspects of my application ☺️

[@beyblade332]

Hi my name is kirt. Do you think cornell and john hopkins would look at my application if i attend a school that does narrative grades? I go to a school named A School Without Walls in NYC. Im on the student leadership team, am doing the NYS envirothon, am pursuing a passion project on racial inequality, and am on debate team. Im also hoping to do an internship and do community service. I also am soon gonna apply to do college now classes at hunter college and am prepping for the SAT. I am gonna in 11th grade/12th grade gonna take the two AP classes my school offers which is AP Seminar and Research. For my regents scores i have 79+. Do you think I have a decent chance at getting into stony brook, john hopkins, and cornell?

[@ayapapaya23]

Hey Kirt! Although I did go through it, I’m not an expert on the college admissions process 😅 but I can try to offer my two cents. I definitely think colleges will accommodate the fact that your school is not based on a traditional grade system if you reach out to their admissions office via email describing your situation, and they’ll provide a more detailed answer. It seems that you’ve got great extracurriculars going on, which is essential to your application! I’m not from NY, but from what i garnered (through Google lol) is that you’ve got impressive test scores going for yourself. I’d say you’ve got a strong head start on building your application, and remember that college admissions is holistic in the sense that it’s not only stats that matter, but your essays, letter of recommendations, ECs, etc as well. They want to learn who you are as a person! Best of luck for your future!☺️
