<p>My GPA went from a 3.0 freshman year, to a 3.7 sophomore year, and now its a 4.4. In addition, I take a lot of classes at a community college near by, concurrent with my high school classes, because I am graduating early senior year so that I can travel to Europe. I also have a part time job and take AP classes. (AP Art, Human Geo, Environmental Science, Honors Spanish, next year: AP Art, Gov, and more college classes at community college)
I'm VP of a club at my school and am active in 2 others. I have volunteered at a nursing home since I was in 8th grade and I have had additional volunteering experiences since then. The first time I took the ACT I got a 29 (after I took it I thought I failed) and I am planning on getting at least a 31. So what do you think the chances are for getting into NYU Gallatin?</p>
<p>I understand that it’s a holistic admissions process, but just out of your basic knowledge of NYU. Anyone?</p>
<p>nyu doesnt look at weighed GPA and unweighed GPA entrance is around a 90~
i think 29 act is a bit on the low side? but still in range…someone correct me on that 31 is good. What is your unweighed GPA out of 4?</p>
<p>If things go as planned, which they will most likely, it will be 3.85.</p>
<p>I’m not sure you are calculating correctly.</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA’s do not go over 4, and with your initial post saying you have a 3.0 a 3.7 and a 4.4 (this is weighed… it is over 4) only equates to a 3.7~ by the end of junior year. It is also factoring in that 4.4 which is WEIGHED. So unless i am doing something horribly wrong, you might want to double check on that 3.85 GPA.</p>
<p>No your right, I got it mixed up. 3.56 by end of first semester senior year.</p>
<p>Well assuming everything else you have not mentioned is average~ and with a 29 ACT. I would say that you are a tad lower than the 50th~ percentile of applicants. You have a decent shot at getting in, somewhere around a high match/low reach imo. 31 act would most likely match. This is mostly due to GPA, however if you are top 10% of graduating class you should be able to get in. </p>
<p>I like to think of schools that you are within the 50th~ either a high match or low reach</p>
