<p>I've got an unweighted gpa of 3.8, having taken almost all of the honors and AP classes available to me, my class rank is about 30 out of 400, and I scored a 2000 on the SAT's. My significant extra-curriculars are: varsity tennis, editor for the school newspaper, NHS member, a member of a peer mediation program. I've served about 100 hours of community service (mostly a homeless meals program), and worked at my local library during the summer for three years, as well as part time during the school year for one year. </p>
<p>What do you think my chances are? Thanks a bunch!</p>
<p>Also, is the financial aid are terrible as everyone says it is?</p>
<p>Your GPA is significantly higher than mine was, but my test scores were higher. I'd consider retaking the SAT's (or ACT) and getting about a 2100 (30) to feel safe. Otherwise, everything looks like you'd have a good shot.</p>
<p>From what I hear from others, NYU's aid does suck. However, I got an EXTREMELY generous package (31,000 a year in scholarships), but I got a lot more than most people.</p>
<p>i thought NYU's aid was decent. </p>
<p>your stats across the board are much higher than mine and i got in.</p>
<p>however, i think this was because i applied to the film school and had a very strong portfolio. depends on your major as well</p>
<p>sorry, new so not sure whether to post a new thread or add onto anothers.
I noticed my stats are similar to those above except my standardized test scores (1800 and 26) are significantly lower, do I still have a chance?</p>
<p>Also I studied at an INternational school in Belgium for 9th and 10th if that would add to my possibilities at all</p>
