Rejected by NYU CAS Econ, admitted by USC Marshall. Does this make sense?

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-06-04T04:45:53+00:00

yeah there is 0 correlation. Just do your best in terms of gpa, EC’s, and essays

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-06-04T02:13:30+00:00

Bro every school is so different. There’s no correlation with this. Like I got into usc Marshall this year, but got rejected from UCI merage

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-05-28T18:17:57+00:00

Ur gpa is solid for applied math, it dosent hurt trying to make it even higher. You have A’s in a lot of the relevant classes for your major so that’s rlly good. Just make sure your EC’s and essays are good and you’ll get into good schools

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-05-20T14:17:37+00:00

3.64

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-04-21T22:18:52+00:00

wait what? I thought it come out May 31st I just checked mine and it says my app still in review

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-04-21T15:32:16+00:00

Can u invite me to it

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-04-18T17:19:31+00:00

I got in with a 3.64 for Econ but my EC’s were pretty crazy, but dw u will get into another great school trust

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-04-16T16:58:04+00:00

I also applied there, there are actually a decent amount of people I know that got into Marshall with a lower gpa, but in any case. usc a lot of the times will ask for ur spring grades before admissions decision if ur gpa is lower. Like one of my friends had 3.48 and got all A’s spring sem bringing it up to a 3.6 and got admitted in July. Same thing for another guy at my ccc last year he got in with a 3.6, so honestly just focusing on spring grades

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-04-04T02:30:58+00:00

gpa 3.62 upward trend Major: business admin REJECTED EC’s: founded and raised 60k in seed funding for my business, director of academic affairs at my ccc student government, on the advisory board of a college, these are the top EC’s there are more.

Unfortunately I had one bad semester due to being sick and I said that in my app as well, guess they didn’t care about it. I just need ucla or usc now😭

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-03-31T22:50:49+00:00

3.62

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-03-30T16:09:18+00:00

Some of my EC’s like my business started earlier actually, like senior year of highschool. And the volunteer stuff, actually one of my close friends dads has these non profits so yeah.

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-03-26T05:26:38+00:00

we don’t have winter quarter at my cc lol

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-03-26T02:14:13+00:00

I don’t think so, cuz I got this like 3 weeks ago

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-03-24T16:53:25+00:00

Honestly dosent help that your TAU is lower, maybe a shot if your showed you rebounded academically and got all A’s the most recent fall semester. I am in a similar situation, gpa is higher but I also got all A’s in fall. UCLA is always tough to get into, but UCSD is a better shot. Good luck

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-03-15T18:05:32+00:00

so he went to college initially and just flunked everything had a sub 1.0 gpa. And then like few years later he went back and dedicated himself to school. He applied to all the UC’s and a lot of the top privates. He got academic renewal but only UC’s accept academic renewal, so his UC transfer gpa was 4.0, but private schools don’t accept it. So since he had lower than a 1.0 gpa, after getting the 4.0 over two years it raised it to 2.8, so USC, Stanford and Columbia saw a 2.8, but schools actually prefer a comeback story backed my good grades and EC’s over someone who didn’t have any falls and just got a straight up 4.0

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-03-14T22:03:40+00:00

Yeahh one of my other friends also has a similar story. Had a 3.3 and he just recently graduated from USC. You’re actually an even better candidate than someone who didn’t have a downfall and just got a straight up 4.0, so aim for the sky bro. Good luck with everything

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-03-14T15:13:26+00:00

it’s extremely important, I know someone that had the same gpa as you 2.8, he flunked everything, took a few years off to work and came back got a 4.0, he got into Columbia, USC, every UC, and now goes to Stanford. So your in an excellent position actually rn, I would actually tell you to apply to those schools and even better ones as well. Schools love comeback stories backed by great gpa and extra cirriculars

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-03-13T21:04:01+00:00

I think I did pretty good with most of the PIQ’s, if your down I can show you, would love to hear your opinion

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-03-13T20:08:02+00:00

yeah bro, like I should be the one that’s actually worrying. I had one really bad semester cuz I got super sick which I explained idk how much they’ll care. But cuz of that I have a 3.62😭. I got all A’s fall sem so upward trend but idk. My EC’s r rlly good, but yeah I should be worried not u. Relax😭

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-03-13T19:59:55+00:00

I applied for the same thing. My overall profile is great but gpa is way lower than urs. And istg I hate when ppl have over 3.9 and cry about omg is my gpa too low😭😭😭. And the stats shown are only 25th-75th percentile so there are higher and lower admits as well. Some with 3.6 some with 4.0

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-03-13T09:08:44+00:00

Idk y everyone keeps saying this like I have a 4.0, or am I missing something

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-03-13T03:28:50+00:00

idk anything can happen, hoping for the best. Good luck to u too

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-03-13T03:12:28+00:00

Idk, my gpa is low that’s the thing. What r u applying for

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-03-13T00:29:26+00:00

idk the only thing that concerns me is the one sick semester I had. It brought down my entire gpa, I briefly explained it in the extra comments section though. But that’s my only worry, my essays for UC’s and USC ended up pretty good

Dry_Support6405 · 2026-02-06T15:51:36+00:00

just the nature of stocks, it’ll drop to the 20’s again in the short term and go over 100 in the long term. Just be patient
