A reasonable reach?

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>I live in Illinois, and I'll be going in undecided, or any analogue thereof.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.3 UW
My school doesn't rank, however.</p>

<p>ACT: 33</p>

<p>SAT: 2200 (superscore, 2190 regular)
CR: 800
M: 660
W: 740</p>

<p>EC's: A lot of music things, more than I can list (but I can't see myself majoring in music, unless like I got a free ride or something). I've swam and played Water Polo for four years, on the Varsity level. I'm a writing tutor at my school. I have some community service hours, but I haven't gone to build houses in Louisiana or anything like that.</p>

<p>Is NYU a decent reach for me?</p>

<p>I'll give more information on request.</p>

<p>Thanks,
-RD</p>

<p>seems like it definitely</p>

<p>Just a suggestion, NYU sucks with FA. The admissions couselor herself told me that if you go ED expect very little to no FA and only the top 10% of applicants get aid. Also, NYU being NYC is going to cost a lot of money for transporation, food, etc. so keep that in mind as well. With that said, yes I’d call it a reasonable reach but adcoms might consider you lazy with high test scores and low GPA. I’d try to get your GPA as high as possible.</p>

<p>I’m so happy to see this thread.<br>
I’ve been freaking out about my ED app, and my stats are VERY similar to yours. </p>

<p>my ECs are a little more intensive, and my test scores a very little bit lower, but other than that… </p>

<p>Also, have you thought about what you’d do if they offer you LSP?
Good</p>

<p>you’re test scores are fantastic, your GPA is low for NYU (last year I think the average UW GPA was about 3.7. You might get gsped, check last years acceptance thread with stats</p>
