<p>Besides for your demographic (some would say it is easier...some would say it is harder. I'd say harder because more NY people apply [+ it sounds like you are white middle class...not the most seeked after population...join the club lol]) I'd say you have a pretty good chance. Perhaps try to retake the SAT 2's so that they are more of a match with your SATs. Your gpa works out well because it is on the increase. Make sure to Ace senior year!!! That would be horrible if that was the reason you didn't get in. Also remember that if you are defered or waitlisted they will look at even more of your senior grades, so don't go getting all lazy just yet! Best of luck!</p>
