Anyone know anything or ever gone to NYU's summer program? I'm applying there for the summer because thats where i want to go to college so i figure i should start making friends (with admissions

)
What im actually interested in....is knowing what my chances are.
I'm really hopeful, because I e-mailed them and explained my financial situation. They then forwarded my e-mail to a recruitment guy (which i hope means I'm being recruited?) He's been helping me with questions about fee wavers and the aplication itself. (a guy named Rudy Ramos)
So I was just wondering if anyone has been to the summer program? Did you like it? The next question I feel really emberrased about asking but, how good were your grades? Do hey look into your grades as a HUGE factor? I mean, academically, I'm not weak, but Im no superstar. They say you need at least a 3.0, which i have... Also, I dont like this question but...do they look at minority status? (really unfair basis for selection, but I might as well use it to my advantage)
Anyways, Im really sorry if any questions offend anyone. Im just a kid looking for help. Any and all things you can answer would be WHOLLY apreciated!
THANKS!
