<p>Chance me, please? :)</p>

<p>I love NYU(AD) so much, I wanna take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant.
^^ Ya gotta love 30 Rock on NBC! ahah</p>

<p>Anyways, I am a senior in High school now and I have around a 3.25 (or 3.3) GPA UW, currently. My school does not weight GPA. I know it's low, but I won't waste your time with some lousy excuse. But, by the time my high school career is over, I will have taken around 8 AP classes and an infinite number of honors courses. Also, I have taken french for five years. I want to major in International Affairs and Political Science (Pre-Law track). I received a 1770 SAT I score without studying. Now, I have taken a class and plan to retake it in October (my practice SAT scores are 2050!!) and take the ACT/SAT Subject Tests in November. Here are my credentials. </p>

<p>Will I get into NYU New York and/or Abu Dhabi? </p>

<p>Also, I am applying ED to NYU. Is that a good decision? It's my DREAM SCHOOL.</p>

<p>Also, getting reccommendations will be super easy because I am pretty friendly with all of my teachers and the faculty at my school (security guards, guadiance counselors, etc). I have 1 already and it is amazing (woo!)</p>

<p>I guess ethnicity comes into play: I am African American.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I’ll be honest - your grades are a bit low. (I’m guessing your GPA is out of 5.0, not 4.0?) But your ECs are fantastic, and you’ve obviously taken a rigorous course load. If you do well on your SATs (2050 would be very helpful!), keep your grades up this term, and write a great essay, I’d say your chances are fairly good for NYU New York. NYU AD is much more selective - academic-wise, it’s on par with Ivies - so I’d say that’s a reach for you. </p>

<p>If your heart is set on NYU New York, by all means apply ED. I’d say you have a good shot.</p>

<p>Your activities are great, but NYU admissions (at least for CAS and Stern) is very numbers-based. Unfortunately, your GPA and SAT score are extremely low for NYU. Even if you manage to get your SAT up to a 2050, it’s still a bit of a reach ED. Best of luck.</p>
