<p>Okay, so I want to get into NYU and my current grades and GPA isn't that good. My school's grade only goes up to 95. Meaning the highest grade I can get in a class is 95, unless it's an AP class.</p>
<p>My current average is 85 point something and the GPA in my school is found by subtracting 55 from 85, which would give me a 3.0-3.1 GPA. I'm currently in my junior year, the classes I am taking now currently are:</p>
<p>Algebra 2 and Trig
Physics
AP US History
English
Pre Calculus
French
Weight Training </p>
<p>This is the last semester and I plan to get almost straight 95s, except for French and maybe Pre Calculus, everything else is possible. </p>
<p>My after school activities would probably be a sports program I attend for an hour or two, three times a week. Senior Math Team, although I'm not the brightest math person and neither am I a senior. </p>
<p>Anyways, I plan to add more to this list this cycle, if not this summer and the beginning of next school year. </p>
<p>Currently, I want to get into NYU PolyTech but I would like to transfer to the main NYU in Manhattan. I live in Brooklyn and would like to stay in the city. Someone I know, with an average 1 point higher than mine and 1550 on his SAT, got accepted this year. I scored 1550 on my PSAT :P Didn't take SAT yet, will do this June... sadly didn't start studying yet. </p>
<p>But anyways, is this possible and would this be wise? I want to major in either engineering or business. The main NYU is very prestigious and will help me get connections and such.</p>
<p>So I'm asking if I should try for NYU Poly and later transfer to main NYU or should I go to another school? Anything is an option as long as in NY state or any states around it.</p>
<p>I want to go to NYU mainly because of connections, prestige, located in Manhattan, some of my friends are planning to go there, among other things. </p>
<p>Thank You for the help!</p>
