Hi. So I’m in my senior year of High school and I’m really upset with myself because of last year grades. So semester one I got like a 3.36 gpa and quarter one I preceded to get a 3.8, and then horribly, a 3.1 last quarter. I’m really upset and disappointed in myself. I switched high schools junior year and the going was rough I know this isn’t an excuse but the course load was difficult and I hadn’t got completely use to the system. Also, I slacked off a bit because I was depressed an angry. Now this year, I’m working really hard at school and I’m doing pretty well. I’m really stressed and stuff but I want to show universities that I’ve raised my grades and am actually trying hard. I took the SAT on October 3rd, and I think it went pretty well. So my dream school is NYU (ofc, I know) and so I’m working on my personal essay and completing the common app. I’m an international student btw, who use to live in America. So my question is
What are my chances of getting in to NYU with decent junior year marks, pretty good freshman and sophomore marks, and hopefully a strong senior first semester/quarter,(because I’m applying regular admissions) and solid SAT scores?
I feel like my chances are slim but I’m applying anyway and if I don’t get accepted then NYU probably doesn’t suit me because my grades are not up to par.
Sorry if this post is long, I’m really looking forward to your responses because this is causing me much anxiety. As an international student, my scores should be higher because I’m competing with other competitive applicants but I don’t know, I’m feeling pretty bad about this and I need some comfort
Thanks guys!!
