If my school didn’t engage so heavily in grade inflation I would statistically be a very competitive applicant for NYU. </p>
<p>Perhaps your gpa would not even be as high as it is now. You stated that your gpa dropped substantially sophomore and junior year. This is the reason that you will not be a competitve applicant, not your allegations that everyone else’s grades are inflated. </p>
<p>The kid has a 3.75, it’s not like s/he’s a slacker. </p>
<p>Hopefully your AP scores and high SAT scores will be considered. You may want to call the admissions offices at your top choice schools and ask if the class ranking will automatically prevent you from being considered, and ask for special consideration due to the grade inflation at your school. The SAT and AP scores speak to your ability.</p>
