<p>Name calling aside I’d say you have a solid chance, especially if that GPA is unweighted, maybe try the SAT? The ACT score is your big weakness, so maybe taking the other big test would help, just my two cents.</p>

<p>You have a great application. NYU will love seeing your initiative in taking a class outside of school. Work on bringing up your ACT (I agree with the PP, have you considered the SAT?) and make sure your essay is strong. Good luck!</p>
