<p>i think u r in: ur GPA, SATs, Class rank are all at (slightly above idk?) NYU's average. Applying ED is definitely gonna give u a lil boost. It seems u got a good committment to a lot of extracurriculars too. also ur AA will help u out too.</p>

4

<p>thanks tunit, how much do you think being a black male will boost my chances?</p>

5

<p>Your GPA and ACT are low but your SAT IIs are nice. I think because you had a conflict that affected your academic performance and you are a minority, you should get in the U but I think there's a chance you could get GSPd. Who knows? Cross your fingers and good luck!</p>

6

<p>anybody else?</p>

<p>You're fine...you'll definitely be GSPed if not accepted outright to CAS. Junior year is the most important, and you made your best grades it seems then, so you're good. Write a good essay and you might get some scholarship money such as the Petrie (a scholarship for those that have had to overcome adversity, I've heard of it).</p>

<p>Thanks NOCCA, I wouldn't mind GSP! I would be proud that I am getting my degree from NYU!</p>
