<p>what’s your unweighted? NYU wants the unweighted as they’ll just weight it according to their own standards when you apply.</p>

3

<p>I think you have good chances if you get higher SAT/ACT scores.</p>

4

<p>i think my weighted gpa is about a 3.7</p>

<p>How much value does NYU place on tests scores, gpa, and extra curriculars?</p>

5

<p>i mean unweighted</p>

6

<p>i’d say raise your gpa and your SAT a little bit and you’ll be set.</p>

7

<p>actually, your ACT is good so you should be fine. getting a 30+ would really help. good luck!</p>

8

<p>good chance.<br>
you’ll likely get in if your essays are good.
if you bring your test scores up a good bit, you’re a lock.</p>
