I’m applying early decision to NYU CAS for art history this year and I wanted some input even though I understand NYU’'s admissions process is EXTREMELY holistic and unpredictable!
GPA- 3.92 weighted
ACT- 32 (33 superscore)
I took many advanced classes in grades 9, 10, and 11. In grade 12, I’m currently taking AP Italian 4, AP Calc AB, AP Lit, AP art history, AP studio drawing, sociology, and yoga. In grade 11 i took an advanced math class and dropped it for a regular level second semester, but it improved my gpa extensively. My ap tests from junior year were not good so I won’t be submitting them anywhere.
I’m caucasian from Illinois and come from a household with both parents having law degrees.
