Hello everybody! I am an Asian female, upper-middle class, attending a public school. NYU has always been a dream of mine, but it is an extremely difficult school to get into, and I’m wondering if I have any chance at all.

(These scores are horrible! I will retake them)

ECs:
3 years of volunteering at my old preschool – about 240+ hours
2 years of Spanish Club, hopefully I’ll get a position this year
4 years of Newspaper Club – I am the Editor-in-Chief
ESL tutor
Member of the National Honor Society
Daycare and tutoring elementary students
Intern for a film commission
2 years of private tennis lessons (I’m not THAT bad)

I’m also taking 5 APs this year (senior year).
I’m just really worried because I’m not involved in sports and music –my focus was on journalism and preschool ^^;;
Thank you all for your kind comments. It’s just that I have these sudden anxiety attacks lol. Btw, the SAT II scores are really bad –the last time I checked, you needed to get at least a 700 to show that you’re really knowledgable on that topic. But thanks anyway, you guys made my day!

I dont play for my high school. but i do take private lessons 2 times a week. Does this still look good on my college resume or is it just irrelevant?

I’ve been playing violin for 4 years and tennis for 5…i know being good at a sport is good for scholarships, and so is music. I love violin but i don’t want to major in music, i love tennis but it’s kind of just hitting a ball with a racket…which should i really focus on?
