Chance me for NYU Gallatin?

<p>I am contemplating whether it is worth it to apply to my dream schools with my current stats. Please be brutally honest. I am aware my grades seriously fluctuate, I went through a major slump sophomore year. BTW: I am a junior so don't have all my stats, but am wondering what I can do to make myself look better on paper :)

^I know, these test scores are horrid, but they're from a while ago and I feel like if I retook them with as much determination as I have now, I'd do much better.</p>
