Chances: NYU Tisch

<p>I posted this once already, and haven't gotten any replies. </p>

<p>Hey! My names Steph, your not-so-average NYU applicant. Not only am I applying to Tisch, I'm applying with the fact that I have ADD and an OCD related disorder that caused a major dip in my grades. This is outlined in my essay. </p>

<p>With that in mind, forgetting my audition which I am planning to ace, do I have any chance, considering my academics?</p>
