<p>is this a joke?</p>

<p>99.9% chance of getting in</p>

<p>Sarah,</p>

<p>Your chances look really good at NYU (or at any school for that matter)..you're an all around strong applicant. Just don't blow off the essay and reccs...you don't want to make it look like you have some sense of entitlement because of your grades and test scores. Other than that, you should be fine....start ordering some NYU gear!</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>-NYU class of '00</p>
