<p>Hello college confidential chums. Erm...yeah, so I'm kind of unsure if I should apply to NYU. True, it would be my first choice school, and I would give anything to get in, but I'm not really sure if my grades/ scores would even get me into GSP. Please help. Oh, and suggestions for possible matches are welcome.</p>
<p>G.P.A. : right now UW-3.75 W-4.1 (will probably go up before application is sent off)</p>
<p>ACT: 28</p>
<p>SAT Subject Tests: scores haven't come back yet...</p>
