<p>NYU: Low Reach.</p>

<p>Definitely improve your scores. That GPA is going to be your biggest problem, and I’m assuming you can’t fix that too much. Incredible ECs should make up for it though. Definitely apply.</p>

<p>NYU: Low Reach</p>

<p>I agree with what Dixie says, if you can get really good ACT/ SAT’s you’ll have a better chance.</p>

<p>What would you say my estimated percentage of getting in is?</p>

<p>I agree with Low Reach as well. Your ECs are great, but the first thing they look at is GPA/ SAT & ACT. Invest a lot of time into whatever essays they have and the SAT if you take it again and you have a good chance. Can’t really give a percentage.</p>
