<p>Hi,you dont know how much NYU mean to me in getting. I have a gpa of 3.55 freshman year but i took no honor courses, next year i qualify to take AP US history as a sophomore. I have also received a C on my final grade in Language arts Freshman year, but my gpa still cam out to 3.55. Since i didn't take any honors classes freshman year and got a C as a final grade in Language arts, and no honors sophomore year except for AP US History. Did I ruin my chances of getting into NYU? If i take lots of more honors and AP's junior year will i be able to make it out? I plan on getting a 3.7 gpa sophomore year.</p>
<p>well, you certainly didn’t help your chances…but i mean, it is only freshman year so it’s way to early to make any conclusions. just pick it up the next three years with the grades, activities, and awards and you should be ok.</p>
<p>A few C’s will certainly not hurt you. Do well in whatever level classes you take SO year, and try to take a few more APs and honors JR year and do well in those, and then keep it up 1st Q SR year. A single year in itself hardly counts, everything together what matters. FYI, if you get a 3.7 next year, your cumm GPA will be a 3.6, so you really wanna shoot for 3.8’s for the next 2 years but its easier said than done.</p>
<p>A senior friend of mine actually got accepted into NYU. He said that he slacked freshman year and did not care as much. Fortunately he started to care much more sophomore year, did well on the SAT, and got in! I am a freshman too, hoping to get into NYU when I apply junior/senior year. Just work hard the next couple years and show improvement.</p>
<p>Also If you really wish to get into NYU, talk to your guidance counselors about taking more Honors classes. this year as a freshmen I took Honors Bio and Honors English. Next year I am opted to take AP US History and Honors Trig/Algebra 2 on my own. All I did was talk to my quittance counselor and personally ask for a recommendation from my teachers. It shows teachers and counselors you want to try and want to learn more so how can they say no?</p>
