I take the IB diploma, here are my predicted grades (not the predicted grades that you send universities, just the ones that im most likely to get according to my teachers):

High's:
Economics: 6/7
History: 6/7
Physics: 5

Standards:
Math: 7
French: 5
English A1: 5

So its 34-36/42

SATs: 570 Verbal + 720 Math= 1290
no SAT II's yet. Those are my SATs from May 2001. That test went pretty bad, and I didn’t study as much as ‘should’ have. I’m taking them again this June.

I have an Editors Choice Award from poetry.com and International Library of Poetry

I have an internship at the European Union General Secretary in Turkey.

I play guitar, and I have a video of me playing Vivaldi’s Winter, third movement, in a concert.


Jazz band 10-12th grades
TIMUN (Turkish International MUN)
MUNDP (MUN development Program)

My extremely low GPA is what Im afraid of: I cant remember exactly, but here is how i remember it:
9th: 2.7
10th: 2.8
11: 3.15
12: dunno

School doesn’t rank. I'm planning on majoring in business, and my recs will be written by my Economics teacher and probably math teacher, who I get along great with and I have high grades for their classes. Furthermore, my essays should be pretty good.

Please tell me if I have a shot for NYU stern,
I know that its hard for me to get in, but how about with a SAT of 1350-1400? Because that is what I am getting right now on the practices. thanx 4 your time

It's doubtful with that gpa, I'm afraid, but who knows. It's worth applying if you really really want to go to NYU. You'd really have to bring up your SAT's as well because the middle 50% of NYU kids score 1300-1450 and rumor has it that the Stern average is around 1400. I think your biggest problem is going to be that gpa, though.

Well if you raise your SAT scores you may have a shot, but your GPA is kind of low.
