<p>I'm applying RD to Gallatin, all my stats (i think) are fine with the exception of my ACT score. I'm hoping because my GPA and ranking are good then that'll make up for a low ACT score. Also, I'm applying to Gallatin with the intention of doing a concentration in fashion business/journalism and I have so many ECs involving fashion, journalism, business throughout my four years of high school. </p>

I think its a little difficult considering the ACT scores. Your community service stats and experience stats are really good. Your ECs are also nice, but not ones that would probably stand out to Gallatin. But, you can never be too sure when its NYU because of the volume of applications that come in. Sometimes, you might not have the conventional stuff to get in, but you might have something that NYU might want in their freshman class!
