Chance me for NYU Early Decision

<p>Overall UW GPA: 3.59 (3.22 freshman year, 3.64 sophomore year, 3.89 junior year. My overall will be higher by the time of application seeing as my awful freshman GPA has completely ruined my overall GPA.)</p>

<p>My school doesn't release class rank</p>

<p>SAT Score (first try... retaking in the fall again and hoping to increase by at least 50 points): 2010... 680 CR, 640 math, 690 writing</p>

<p>APs: Government (3 on the AP test... probably won't send in my application seeing as it makes my A- look bad), Spanish Language, English Language, European History, Environmental Science</p>

<p>Potential hook(?): gay male (may mention it in my essay... unsure as mentioning seems to be bordering on cliche nowadays)</p>

<p>Junior Grades (electives not included):
AP Government/Politics A-
Honors Spanish A
Honors English A
Expository Writing/Grammar A-
Chemistry 2 A-
Algebra 2 A
Geometry A
(yes, I took both Alg2 and Geometry as a junior... probably the cause for my awful math SAT score)</p>

<p>Senior Schedule:
AP Spanish Language
AP English Language
AP Environmental Science
AP European History
Trigonometry
Latin American Studies</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Editor-in-Chief of school newspaper

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>35 views? Anyone? :P</p>

<p>If u can being it up to a 3.75+ then u have a good chance</p>

<p>Take your SAT to 2150+ and you’ll do fine. Being gay however will not act as a hook at NYU as gay people are already massively overrepresented in the school population there.</p>

<p>As always however you should be aware that NYU provides essentially zero financial aid, so your costs will be 220k+ for the degree.</p>

<p>Yeah, I should mention that I’m fortunate enough to not need any financial aid.</p>
