Do I have a chance of getting into NYU?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm applying to the Global Liberal Studies.
GPA unweighted: 3.785
GPA weighted: 4.4
SAT scores: 1860 (670 CR 620 Writing 550!! >:( Math)
I'm 9th in my class of 252.
I have 4 AP classes and some pretty great EC (in my opinion??)
My essays are pretty decent, but I could be talking myself up or down a little.
I've only taken the SAT once though, that was my first try and I'm taking it and the ACT in December. </p>

<p>I know my SAT scores are not very good, I have severe test anxiety but I don't like to take the medicine they give because it makes me sleepy and really stupid. I don't know, overall my numbers seem just pretty average but my EC are things that I'm passionate about and not just doing to look good. I.G. I volunteer with a local non-profit dedicated to preventing a harmful cement plant from being built on top of a major aquifer. I want to go to NYU because I feel that it fits in with my own focuses on social change and knowledge about other cultures. Tell me what you think please!</p>

<p>An Ivy League would seem out of reach for me. However, it is possible that you can get into NYU. I would say you have a good chance. :)</p>

<p>Your GPA is in-range but your test scores are low, I think focusing on the ACT is a good idea - good luck</p>

<p>Also, look at SAT-optional universities. There are a couple good ones (Wake Forest, Bowdoin, etc.)</p>
