Okay, so I really want to go to NYU-Stern, but I am not sure I could get in. If anyone could tell me what else I could do or has an idea of whether or not I would get in it would be appreciated, please be honest. Thanks so much!
UW GPA: 3.78
ACT: 30 (English-35 Reading-34 Math-28 Science-26 Writing-8)
My school doesn’t offer many AP classes at all, only four are available and they are hard to get into as they take up double the amount of space on a schedule as a normal class, so my only AP class will be AP Cal which I will be taking this year as a senior. I have taken all of the honors classes available and done very well in all of them.

I think that I can get a decent recommendation and I know that I can write a unique essay so I hope that will help, and I am also a first generation college student who lives in Tennessee. The only job experience I have had is babysitting, so really none at all.
