<p>reach-ish. </p>

<p>other than your GPA and senior grades, i would say you'd be a fairly competitive applicant. alas, a 3.1 is definitely a tad too low - and even though a 3.3 is better, it's still low. </p>

<p>good luck! =)</p>

3

<p>Unless your essay is really outstanding, I'd say no chance. GPA and 1st sem grades are a tad low.</p>

4

<p>Thank you both.</p>

5

<p>It is a big reach. But who knows, maybe they want students who have to ability to include organized details.</p>

6

<p>^ being able to organize details is a MAJOR hook these days.</p>

7

<p>Let's be fair, though. A 3.1 at a rigorous prep school is far different from a 3.1 at your average public school. Maybe you can get your counselor to include some information about how your school grades. And if your essays and recs really are excellent, I think you have a good shot at an in. Good luck.</p>

8

<p>if it's really a rigorous prep school, i'm sure NYU will be familiar with them and his GPA will be looked at under a different light.</p>

9

<p>You may be in if it is rigorous but it is still a low reach in my opinion with your GPA</p>

10

<p>I would say that you have a good chance.... like probably in.</p>

11

<p>i think you have an average shot, depending upon what your course load was. my cousin got in with a 3.13 unweighted but she had a very rigorous course load. i think she took 10 AP classes all together, and had EC's and worked too. she did also have extremely good recs and essays. so yeah, i think depending on those factors, you have an average shot.</p>
