chances at nyu??

<p>I'm currently a sophomore in the ib program, and I'm determined to go to nyu. I want to know what I need to do junior and senior year to raise my changes at admissions. Sadly I had some troubles with a few classes so my gpa isn't super high but since next year I will be taking ap classes I can boost my gpa. My gpa right now is 3.6. </p>

<p>Freshman year
Pre ib english 1- a/a
Pre ib world history- b/a
Pre ib spanish 2- b/a
algebra 1- b/a
honors biology- b/c
Visual arts 1- a/a</p>

<p>Sophomore year
Pre ib world history- a/a
Pre ib english 2- a/a
pre ib spanish 3- c/c
honors chemistry- b/a
Geometry- a/a
3-d art- a/a</p>

<p>Future junior year schedule
ap english
ap environmental science
Ap psychology
Honors 3d art
Honors spanish 4
Honors algebra 2</p>

<p>If I get staight a's for junior and senior year I can raise my gpa to a 3.8. Will the c's ruin my chances? It upsets me very much about them because those classes were very difficult and I worked very hard to only get a c. </p>

<p>Do I stand a chance of getting accepted?? </p>

<p>Thanks for answering!</p>

<p>Though it may seem like NYU is all about numbers, they really do look at your ECs and read your personal statement, so make sure all of the writing portions of your app are stellar. Your ECs should be good, provided you continue with all of them. As for grades, what school within NYU are you looking at? They all have different admit rates.</p>

<p>sincerely i think you cant make it, look at this girl at my school, who didnt make it to candidate weekend</p>

<p>and now look at this girl, from my school as well, who made it to the candidate weekend, but not to the uni</p>
