<p>You’re GPA is a little low. What really stands out is the fact that you served in the orphangage and you played rugby and archery( isnt common in america). I think you have a high chance, the only thing that might be an issue is NYU is kind of an artsy school…</p>

<p>I’d say you have a 20-30% chance. You have lots of positives, but your school does not appear to send very many students to the best universities in the states and you are not at the very top of your class. You should definitely apply.</p>
