<p>Alright so I'm a HS sophomore so I don't know why I'm so stressed about college admissions right now, except that I don't feel like I've done anything significant with the past year and a half and will have a pretty suckish junior year. And I'm still not entirely sure where I plan on applying, though I'd love to go to a school with good credentials in the Big Apple</p>
<p>So, what are my chances for NYU/what else do I need to do to have a good shot?</p>

SAT/ACT: Not taken
SAT II: Taking in May/June
APs this year: AP World History, AP European History
