<p>Did any extenuating circumstances lead to your low fresh/soph GPAs?</p>

<p>My father died a few days before Freshman year, my mom re-married my sophomore year. =[</p>

<p>What are my chances?</p>

<p>Since you're looking at Howard, and you list Black Studies as your intended major, may I assume that you are a Black female?</p>

<p>Well, your ACT and Junior and Senior year grades are exceptional. Do you plan to write an essay about your circumstances? I think you have a good shot at NYU, to be honest, in spite of your low frosh and soph grades. </p>

<p>Be warned, though, that a LOT of URMs apply to NYU. So much so that they have a good deal of leeway in choice.</p>

<p>Have you considered applying to Ivy League or Liberal Arts Colleges?</p>

<p>Have you already graduated from high school?</p>
