<p>I sure you already realize that your GPA is significantly below the average 3.6 GPA for NYU, but do not use that as a deterrent from applying. A few lucky applicants with stats similar to yours are admitted to NYU every year but a majority of those who are selected for admission have the strongest, most rigorous academic records.
Therefore, to submit a satisfactory response to your original question chances (based on the information you provided us with) is virtually impossible. Admission into any selective university is a crap shoot a crap shoot for those with a 4.0 and a crap shoot for those with a 3.0. So who knows what your chances are probably lower than those with a 4.0 GPA and 2000 SAT scores. However, this does not mean you will automatically be rejected from NYU. Good luck.</p>
<p>well if it makes a difference
SAT II SCORES:
Spanish-760
US History-660
*on the note of my lower GPA, I took some really hard classes and because of that my grades are lower. I have taken an AP/Honors in every single department except Math.
*also, the 1700 showcases the first time taking the exam and without studying. I will be studying all summer and I expect to raise it up to almost 2000 or perhaps above. Does that help at all?</p>
<p>no one here is truly qualified to answer your question. i think that if NYU is your number one school, and you want to go there with a passion it will show in your essay and short answer. Best of luck on your application.</p>
<p>well i dont know if this helps much, but today i went to NYU and the rep said that their only looking at math and verbal and the average is 1300-1450</p>
<p>You're still about 200 points short, SAT-wise.</p>
<p>You might have a shot because of your background and resume, but NYU isn't interested in unqualified applicants. It'll make a huge different if you can get all your test scores above 600, even above 650. Then, I'd think you have a real good shot.</p>
<p>NYU doesn't ask for a mid-year report so those grades won't help. I find it hard to think you'll go up 300-400 points in the SAT. It's a very long shot for you to get in. I had over 300 points higher on my SAT, about the same GPA, and URM status. I was also recruited for track, and I only got into GSP. Of course none of us can know, but NYU doesn't really seem to be in your future.</p>
