<p>Lol, your stats look god-like to me</p>

<p>you’re unweighted GPA is a little low but I think they will accept you especially with those kind of SAT II scores.</p>

4

<p>Bump. I appreciate the opinions guys. :slight_smile: Anybody else want to hazard a guess?</p>

<p>I think you have a great chance–remember, GPA and SATs are important but universities really look into what kind of person you are and NYU is no different (in fact I think that NYU looks more at your personality than other universities, but I might be completely wrong). Your SAT scores are great and, although your GPA is a bit on the “low side” for NYU (they usually require a 3.6) it’s not going to affect your chances that much considering everything else. Especially since 3.4 is not bad at all. And your ACT score is amazing.
Good luck :)</p>
