<p>NYU (Stern) is probably my top choice right now, and I definitely want to apply ED. However, I'm thinking about which ED -- 1 or 2 -- will give me a better chance of getting accepted. The reason why I'm thinking about applying ED2 is because my GPA is low (3.3-3.5 UW, a rough estimate since my school does GPA on a 100 scale. My test scores are above NYU's average tho). However, I have an upward trend, and if I can get a 4.0 senior year, then that'll probably raise my GPA a bit. But the thing is, I don't know if a superb senior 1st sem. can give me a greater chance than ED1 without senior grades. So... what are your opinions? Is it better to apply ED1 or strive for a 4.0 and apply for ED2? Thanks.</p>
