<p>I think NYU is a “match” school for you, with the obvious caveat that you may just be on the cusp. The fact that you only took up to German III isn’t really a big deal, but the rigorousness of your class schedule and your GPA are. Just keep pulling that GPA up, and you should be ok, particularly if your guidance counselor makes note of the fact that your class schedule has become increasingly demanding. Make sure you get a great teacher recommendation as well.</p>

<p>Oh, and your ECs are good. Don’t go adding on more just for the hell of it.</p>
