<p>If there is one pieve of advice I could broadcast, it would be this: Admissions can be incredibly random and a rejection does not reflect on you personally. That being said, I think you have a great chance. I was accepted at NYU this year, and my credentials were very similar to yours. I would say just keep up the rigor of your courseload and see if you can continue to increase those test scores. A 31 is great on the ACT. A score like that will still put you far above average, but at schools like NYU, a 31 is pretty common. GOOD LUCK!</p>
