<p>Well your GPA seems to be decent but the 25-75% range for ACTs is 27-31 in NYU so that is a bit below par, but now by much. Perhaps you should take SAT IIs to compensate. Also it may put up a red flag to colleges if you say you are a mental patient. Overall I think it is a reach/low reach for you. Make sure your essays are superb!</p>

<p>Also, does your school offer APs? Because your senior year course load doesn’t seem as rigorous with cooking, poetry, sociology and anthropology.</p>

5

<p>my school doesnt offer ap psychology. i plan on taking the exam and studying for it by myself.</p>

6

<p>Can you please message me if you get accepted? I would really like to know because I have friends with more or less similar stats (except they scored a bit higher on the ACT and took SAT IIs). Thanks!</p>

<p>Does your school offer any other AP courses? If not, be sure to mention that you took the most rigorous courses available to you.</p>

<p>my school do i’m just focusing my time on preparing for the AP Psych exam by myself, work, and being mentally healthy</p>

<p>I’m also volunteering and teaching Dialectical Behavioral therapy skills to kids 9-13. It’s the type of therapy I want to get into so hopefully it will help</p>
