Well, my getting in was somewhat of special interest case. I went into the service after high school and never took my SAT's. However, I did enroll into NYIT's premed course and had a GPA of 3.95. When I went for my interview or whatever you want to call it, the woman looked me right in the eye and said I had to take my SAT's! I was like your kidding me, right? I think having a GPA of 3.95 in a premed course from a whell known Med-school would have been more then enough. She was like, let me speak to my boss...came back...ok, you dont need the sat's. .....LOL...yeah, thanks...

“I worked very hardJan 13 2009Other
I worked very hard academically in high school, and you should too, as well as played an active part by joining many clubs in my high school. The admissions office is looking for students who can balance academics and extra curricular activities. Take the SATs or ACTs, get all of your required documentation, and write a creative essay. What will make you stand out? A creative essay will definitely show your personality. Don't stay in the box but look outside and challenge your creativity...it will pay off. For example, my essay was a play script. I wrote an essay about the nervousness about being on stage, and put it into a play script.
