<p>Hey everyone, so I posted this information a couple weeks ago but I've gone on a couple of visits and I really love NYU right now, some have said it is a reach, as I am sure it may look, but others have said that I might have a better chance if I apply early, so I was hoping you guys could help me the best I could, be totally honest!
Thanks</p>
