GPA Question

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

<p>Alright so I'm a sophomore. NYU is my top choice and will always be. Anyways, last year I did really horrible as a freshman. I ended up with an 84 GPA which converts around a 2.9/3.0. This is really but but right now as a sophomore I am doing fairly well. I know NYU will like the upward trend in grades but what I want to ask is what kind of GPA, specifically, does NYU look for? Just looking at grades, if I have a 2200+ SAT will a 3.5ish GPA cut it?</p>

<p>I want to get in CAS but wouldn't mind GSP either.</p>

<p>NYU is looking for around a 3.6. I'd say as long as you keep up the good work and improve, NYU may look over ur freshman yr grades. But don't rely on my response.</p>

<p>I mean hey if you can get a 3.5 with a 2200 then yes I think you have a good shot. But I'll be frank with you, that'll take a huge turnaround.</p>

<p>Lol the SAT is the least of my worries. I've been studying for it since the beginning of summer so we'll see where PSAT puts me around come December.</p>

<p>they usually don't care much for your freshmen gpa... I think they might even dismiss it in the weighing process.
then again.... gpa is a new story once you're in.</p>

<p>lol just try your absolute best. You're only a sophomore, geez. Get the GPA to a 3.6, it isn't impossible. Like Sakky said in other posts, it isn't hard to outstudy most HSers, and if you're serious, get serious.</p>

<p>lol try keeping up the trend.
make sure ur marks go up as you go up a grade
