<p>You have a very good chance of making it in to NYU. However, you need to tell us your unweighted GPA. Any GPA above 4.0 is weighted. If it is a 3.6+, you’ll probably get in.</p>

<p>You look great for NYU. Just don’t fall in love until you see the package if you need aid.</p>

4

<p>my unweighted is a 3.87 and this is all really good news so far. Yeah, I’m kind of worried about the financial aid…</p>

<p>If aid is necessary, just fall in love with some schools that meet need now. Kids with higher stats do get more aid, but I’ve seen few NYU packages that did not require significant debt for both student and parents. IMO it’s just not worth it. There are better schools giving better aid for the same stats, and you have a whole lifetime to live in NYC.</p>
