<p>Are you doing the CAS music or the Steinhardt music? If its Steinhardt, it depends on how your audition goes. </p>

<p>Other than that, your ACT is at the bottom of the middle 50% of NYU, which isn't great. Your gpa no one will argue with, and your EC's look good. Good focus on music.</p>

3

<p>I think you are in at NYU, just take the SAT and ACT again and send in a good audition tape! </p>

<p>You forgot to mention all of those musical leads!!!! :)</p>

4

<p>I think I'll apply to Steinhardt for Music and then maybe double major in music performance and engish.</p>

<p>So yeah, It depends on your audition. You've scheduled your audition date, I'm assuming, so good luck. </p>
