Is NYU affordable? It’s very expensive and not known to be generous with aid.

@suzy100 I am still discussing that with parents but for now, and hopefully forever, this is my top choice and I will ED.

Well your GPA could be a bit better, like 3.6+. However, if you do get that 33 on the ACT it will help. Just try to raise your gpa a bit by your senior year. CAS isn’t the hardest school to get into, so I think you’ll be fine if you get that 33. Good luck
