<p>It’s a bit of a reach, mostly because of your SAT. You also haven’t taken many AP’s, but of course if your school doesn’t offer many AP’s that won’t be a problem. Your rank is very good! (:
I’d say its a reach so make sure you work on your essays a lot and really make those stellar.
Good luck and I hope you get in!! (:</p>
<p>Thanks to everybody commenting on here. To those asking what’s my safety it is suny’s and syracuse. Also, do you think it’s a low reach or a high reach, and does the admission process get any easier depending on what school of NYU it is (Gallatin and etc.).</p>
<p>I would say reach.
Focus on confirming some SAT scores and also your GPA may be a bit dangerous.
If you raise your SAT Score up, I think you would have a chance tho!!
but It’s def high reach I would say</p>
<p>Based on your lowish SAT scores and weighted GPA, I would say NYU is a low reach. However, with stellar recommendations and exceptional essays, you may be able to cushion your areas of weakness and make NYU a low match school. I recommend speaking to your weaknesses in your essays and talking about why you are more than just your SAT and GPA numbers; NYU likes to assess holistically. I wish you luck on your journey!</p>
