<p>Thanks guys!! I was just really concerned that my ECs weren’t strong enough. :-/
The 4.0 is unweighted, yes.
Also, I’m an International student, but a resident of the US. Does that help in anything??
I don’t think I will be applying for financial aid though. And I’m considering applying ED as well.</p>
<p>I will (hopefully!) be applying to CAS and go in the pre-health direction. I hear that it’s not that strong at NYU, but I’ll judge that for myself.</p>
<p>Thanks for the answers so far! I feel a lot more confident in applying.</p>
<p>I will also be a first generation college student (in the US). Does that count to anything?</p>
