<p>If you can try and get a 2100+ SAT you will have some kind of a chance but still a reach for anyone really. People still get rejected for getting 2100+ SAT. Having a low rank and GPA can hurt too. Columbia and other top universities are looking for people who can “cure cancer” if you know what I mean. Also SAT subject exams should be in 700s. Your essay and recs should be excellent in order to be in good standing candidate. Basically, do the best as you can!</p>
<p>I am going to be in the top 20 percent but i dont think that would be enough. THanks for all your help</p>
<p>If you are in the top 20% and have high GPA, that’s good too because it shows your school is competitive.</p>
<p>I’m a junior and NYU is my dream school. I have a rare genetic disorder that compromises my health therefore I miss weeks of school at a time.
My freshman year I was in the hospital for a very long time so my gpa was only a
3.0 but now it is a 3.5 and hopefully after this year it will go to a 3.7 or 3.8.
I get mostly A’s and high B’s and I work very hard. I am the president of the ribbon club(raise money and awareness for cancer),
I am going to get an internship,
I have 100 volunteer hours, went to New Orleans to build houses that were destroyed from Hurricane Katrina.
I have work experience at a day care
1530 on SATs but I will retake them and hopefully do better.
I am in some honors and I might take 2 AP’s next year but I do not want to take very challenging courses because I do miss school a lot and it is hard to make up work. What are my chances of getting into NYU? Please respond!! Thank you</p>
<p>Your grades are a little low for NYU. Your ECs are outstanding. It really depends on which school you apply to</p>
<p>Dude, you don’t have much to worry about. Your ECs are great, GPA is average for NYU, and as long as you get 2100+ on the SATs, I’d say you have a great shot.</p>
<p>NYU is VERY stingy with financial aid. Applying for financial aid CANNOT hurt your chances unless its the UCs (for OOS), so make sure that you’re down to pay for it.</p>
<p>NYU if 2000: High Match
NYU if 2100+: Match/Low Match</p>
