Your ACT score is great, but your GPA is what will bring you down. It would be best to state in your application why your GPA wasn’t as high. This can make you less of a competitive applicant, especially since you are planning to apply ED, and in Stern, which is probably NYU’s most competitive school.

Good luck.
