<p>Please tell me i have a chance.</p>

<p>You have great EC’s but it seems like you only took 4 courses (plus labs). If you take out the Art grade it brings your GPA down, and the range of classes is pretty limited. You won’t get credit for any of you AP scores either. I’m not sure if your school had a core curriculum, I’m guessing no which is why you only really took science courses? That might hurt your chances of admittance though. Your GPA isn’t bad though, and your ACT is okay. Northwestern will definitely be a reach, NYU a low reach. If you’re really unhappy at your school you should really try for some safeties though.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the reply. being premed and trying to get all the science classes in was annoying…in regards to NYU any suggestion on whether i should go for gallatin or CAS?</p>

<p>anybody? please ill chance u back</p>
