Can I get in?

<p>I'm a white female from a competitive public school in Westchester NY.
My GPA is approx. 3.6 unweighted, 4.0 weighted. Freshman year I had a GPA of approx. 3.4, sophomore it increased to 3.6, and now in my junior year I have it at 3.75. I am an EXTREMELY hard worker. I haven't taken the SAT scores yet but based on my PSATs and my progress my SAT tutor is estimating that I will get a 640-660 on math, 620-640 on critical reading, and 690-710 on writing. I have been a member of multiple clubs such as yearbook, mock trial, and our school newspaper. I tutor 2 different kids, I have been a member of the varsity swim team since freshman year, I'm a member of my church youth group and with that group we do a ton of community service. So far in high school I have about 100 hours of community service and by the end of senior year I will probably have up to 160 hours. I am a very active member in my church community and my community in general. I have very good relationships with every one of my teachers and therefore will hopefully have good recommendations. My intent is to major in business in college. Do I have a good chance of being accepted into New York University? Thank you for your help!</p>

<p>If you are looking to major in business you would apply to NYU Stern. That said, Stern is very competitive. It is my belief that if you were able to get your SAT up higher you would be a solid candidate. Currently however a 1260 combined would not, in my opinion, be good enough for you to be a no questions candidate. I would try taking the ACT if you don’t do well on the SAT. Everything else looks very good.</p>

<p>CAS and Stern are essentially equally competitive. The differences between the two are marginal. That said your UW GPA is average for NYU. However, SAT scores for CAS and Stern frequently range above 2,100. Try getting your SATs up.</p>
