<p>I think your chances are pretty good, or at least average. It is almost impossible to tell what the admissions committee will decide with so many applicants with similar stats. On the bright side, all your stats seem to be within an adequate range, the only thing I see is your GPA is a little low, but what can you do.</p>

<p>Just a question, does being Persian really count for anything? Someone enlighten me, but what is a modern day Persian? As far as I know, Persia hasn't existed for centuries.</p>

<p>anyone else? is my GPA really gonna kill me???</p>

7

<p>razorsharp didnt u post this on about 20 different messages boards?</p>

8

<p>no actually, only 5 and those are the main schools i am concerned about.</p>

<p>yet, despite your notion of "20 different message boards" you didnt respond to one, so your point being?</p>

9

<p>Woah, way to over-react. I never said you GPA was going to kill you. I merely said it was slightly below average, but you SAT is very good(better than mine), but not quite outstanding for NYU standards.</p>
