<p>I'm worried about my junior year grades as they were not particularly good, I'm confident my essays will be good because writing is my strong point, and i am taking three aps my senior year
I'm white, christian, and have no legacies at NYU</p>
<p>Do you know what school you're applying to for NYU? That could affect your chances, especially if you're applying to Stern. With that said, you look like a great contender for NYU; I wouldn't worry. Your GPA and SAT scores are fantastic (don't worry about the C; I got in with a C in junior year math too). </p>
<p>thanks for your response!
I'll probably apply to the school of arts and sciences, maybe the gallatin school of individualized study (i need to learn more about that one)
I am mainly worried just because my junior year grades aren't fantastic, but i'm hoping NYU will really take a look at the courses i took because they were the hardest i could take</p>
<p>You're absolutely fine for anything except stern. even then u have a good shot. only thing that hurts you at stern is your math SAT. rather low for a sternie</p>
<p>I would say you are ok for CAS, although I would stress to try and raise the math score to at least 650. NYU seems to be very focused on test scores, so if you can do that, you will be a lock. However, I hope you are able to take on the burden of paying full price or at least not having your full need met. NYU is notorious for not meeting need. </p>
<p>BTW, as long as your verbal scores are good (which they are), your math score shouldn't hurt you too much. I had the exact same score (and my two other math scores from previous testing rounds were 570 and 540) with great verbal scores. </p>
