<p>Thank you for your time.</p>
Dude i think you would be fine, it looks like you have been really involved. And as far as grades you cant change the past. But your junior year counts alot. Show the colleges that you matured a little and have a better grades. My teacher told me its ok if you missed up freshmen year but colleges like that you have been improving every single year. Do great on SAT and im sure you can get into New York University! Good luck!</p>
