<p>Hello, I'm an Senior from California applying to NYU EDII. Steinhardt for Media, Culture, & Communications. NYU is my top choice, and I'm wondering if i'll have a chance. </p>

<p>GPA: W: 3.5, UW 3.1
SAT: 1930 (CR: 590, M: 610, R: 730)
ACT: 30 (superscore) English 32, Math 29, Reading 32, Science 25
*planning on taking Dec ACT, hoping for 30 or 31 composite which will raise my superscore to possibly a 31</p>

<p>-----------------Extracurriculars/Awards------------------------
-Played viola for 13 years
-Principal violist of school orchestra for 4 years, performed at Carnegie Hall
-Private viola instructor to 3-4 students throughout the school year
-Member of California All-State Ensemble for 3 years
-Volunteer at the local middle school orchestra (50+ hrs of community service)
-President of Tri-M Music Club, which is a community service club that performs at local senior homes, charities, weddings, etc. (150+ hrs of community service) member for 4 years.
-VP of Key Club (250+ hrs of community service) member for 4 years.
-Captain of Girls Varsity Lacrosse team, member for 4 years.
-Elections Intern at the county labor union for the past two years. Worked with local leaders and worked on several campaigns, including one for a Senate spot.

<h2>-1 out of six members of my county's Girl's Advisory Council. We discuss local/global issues that women/girls face today, and we work closely with the County Office of Women's Policy. Our goal is to create a Girl's Leadership Conference in Spring 2012 and invite 200+ girls from around the county to teach them leadership skills and bring in local leaders. </h2>

<p>-I'm worried about my GPA, but I'm hoping that my extracurriculars/essays will help out my application.
-GPA is low b/c I moved every year of high school (within the school district) due to financial issues, which left me with a huge burden. This might be explained somewhere in my application, but would it help?
-I might submit a music supplement. </p>

<p>Chance me please! Thank you!</p>

<p>Unfortunately, your chances aren’t that great. Your GPA and SATs fall below the 25% average for 4 year programs at NYU:</p>

<p>Grade Average: A- (Somewhere between a 3.6 and 3.7 GPA)</p>

<p>SAT Critical Reading (middle 50%): 630-730
SAT Math (middle 50%):650-750
SAT Writing (middle 50%): 660-750</p>

<p>ACT with Writing (middle 50%): 29-31</p>

<p>Percent of Students with Ranked in:
Top Tenth of Class: 77%
Top Quarter of Class: 96% </p>

<p>Your GPA is what is going to be hurting you the most. It’s possible you might get LSP’d but because that became a directly applicable to program, even LSP is going to start to be quite competitive.</p>

<p>thanks for the response. Do you know if they’ll take into account my senior grades? I’m doing extremely well right now and my GPA could become a 3.7 if NYU cares about my first semester grades…</p>

<p>If you’re doing EDII they’ll look at your first quarter senior grades, just not if you were doing EDI. If you had a great first quarter that will help you, but I’d still say somewhat of a reach. If you knock the essays out of the park, who knows!</p>
