<p>PS- How much will getting a 4.0 GPA in senior year 1st semester help me in admissions? Because my grades dropped drastically in junior year to like 2.3ish and I wonder if NYU's admissions officers will even see the senior year grade.</p>

<p>O yea I’m applying to NYU forgot to write in title -_-</p>

<p>NYU will receive a mid-year report with your first semester senior year grades. While an upward trend will help, a 2.3 junior year GPA will negatively impact your chances at most schools, including NYU. Right now, it’s a high reach.</p>

<p>Junior year is so important… 2.3 hurts. Moreover, family issues in high school show the potential for it to reoccur during your time in college. It hurts you… a lot. Alum relation won’t be enough to cover that.</p>

<p>I doubt you’d be admitted to the regular CAS right now, but maybe you will be accepted to their Liberal Studies Program. [The</a> Liberal Studies Program](<a href=“http://ls.nyu.edu/page/home]The”>http://ls.nyu.edu/page/home)
If you do well, you can continue at NYU and graduate.</p>
