<p>Grades seem pretty good, for Arts and Sci your test scores are probably below the average. This year raised the bar, average is probably 2100+ now.</p>

<p>I don't think that they will care about completing difficult hikes, or awards in middle school.</p>

<p>Probably a high-match/reach.</p>

<p>Write awesome essays!</p>

3

<p>How the heck did you get an A+? No such thing here...</p>

4

<p>Er, I would watch your spelling on the application, for one. "University" should be spelled correctly no matter what. As should "New York," unless if you're going for some kind of phonetic spelling of a Brooklyn accent or something.</p>

<p>Like someone said above, middle school awards don't matter; on the application, they only ask for high school.</p>

5

<p>Your leadership skills appear quite weak. They are mostly in your earlier years. Class president is not really a big position. A school president would outrank that position. Why are you only on the Principal's list for Academic Excellence for one year? It is a question I would like an answer to if I am one of the admission officers.</p>

<p>Are you a citizen or have permanent residency? Otherwise they do check financial aid to check if you can afford NYU on your own since international applicants do not have much opportunities in terms of scholarships and grants.</p>

<p>Is your average weight? If it is so, when they recalculate it it will not be as high.</p>

<p>As for my personal opinion about your chances, you will definitely get in if you overcome your weaknesses.</p>

<p>okay thank guys ....and yeah I have spelling issues ....
I am not a citizen or permanent resident but I do not require financial aid so I don't think that should be a problem.. and my average is unweighted... and Jimmyc: I have A+ for my first two years of high school because I was in a school in india and they use a different system of grading...</p>

<p>Don't count on financial aid. They're going to make you take out loans....A lot of loans.</p>
