Won a state award in Computer Science for a project i did.

This year(11th grade) I'm taking 3 more AP's, AP Literature, AP United States and AP Stats and 12th grade I'm taking 6 more AP's, AP Language, AP Macroeconomics, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Calculus and AP Spanish... So in the end I'll have 11 total AP's

I'll write good essays and probably get good recs, also theres a possibility of being recruited with lacrosse, dont know yet.

I know its hard to tell me my chances before junior year since I don't have all my AP grades or SAT results, but on this present course, what are my chances at the following schools, applying as a Political Science major at CAS ???

Glad your applying as a first generation. Why do you want to be a poli sci major? And why at NYU? Put that into your essays and have exceptionally good rec's. I doubt you'll be recruited for sports, but I could be wrong. Good Luck.
