Do I have any chance of getting into NYU?

<p>I SAT and ACT arent the greatest...1850 (math:570, Reading:640, Writing:640). 27 on my ACTs. I have a 4.2 unweighted GPA. As for extracurriculars I dont have as many as most people! My junior year (this past year) I was in dance, I have been in spanish club for the past 2 years and I am moving up to chaplin for senior year. This year I was inducted into the National Honors Society and the Science National Honors Society. I was also in the Key and Interact Clubs. I have done 93 hours of community service (mostly through programs with my church). I also went on a mission trip to Kingston, Jamaica this year with my school. I go to a small, college prep private school. I have always taken mostly honors classes and completed two dual enrollments last year. This year I will also complete two. I dont feel like I have as much extracurriculars as others but...I am the oldest of six and its always been tough to get involved in everything. How good are my chances?? I want to major in zoology.</p>

<p>get your ACT scores up…also your GPA is good and i have similar grades as you (maybe a little worse) and my college counselor said that NYU would be a reach, so for you NYU would be a target/reach…maybe in your essay, write about how you have 6 siblings and how its hard to do certain things but how you tried to overcome that by working hard in school etc… i think they would understand that you have more potential to do stuff but its difficult with having to take care of siblings and all …pm me with any questions!</p>

<p>It’s impossible to have a 4.2 unweighted GPA.</p>

<p>Getting in is the least of your worries. Can your parents pay for it?</p>
