<p>What are my chances of getting in NYU CAS Early Decision? </p>

<p>I'm applied for Economics in CAS</p>

<p>GPA: 3.41 (weighted, school doesn't do unweighted)</p>

<p>-9th grade (horrible): 2.8 GPA, 10th grade: 3.4 GPA, 11th grade: 3.8 GPA (all weighted)
-my GPA is on a major upward trend if that helps
-after high school is over I will have done 3 APs and 3 Honors classes
-achieved honor roll or high honor roll 10th and 11th grade</p>

<p>SAT: 2070 Composite, (1350/1600)
-690 Reading -660 Math -720 Writing </p>

<p>-tennis player
-Clubs (Junior Statesmen of America, Forensics and Debate)
-Tennis player
-Piano player
-French National Honor Society
-volunteering at an elderly care center, internationally</p>

<p>Essay: really good I think (I wrote about an interest of mine, as well as some initiative I took to pursue it)
-I wrote pretty good supplements as well (I think I showed pretty high level of interest in NYU)
Teacher Recommendations: I think they are REALLY GOOD also
Guidance Counselor Rec: They always write the same recs for everyone, but I tried to have them explain why my GPA was lower earlier in high school</p>

<p>-I don't need financial aid if that matters (I've been hearing that even though they are need-blind, it sort of has become a factor)</p>

<p>Race: Asian male</p>

<p>I really want to go to NYU, which is why I'm early decisioning, but I don't know if I will get in.
-Do you think my SAT score will possibly offset my lower GPA?? NYU's average GPA is like a 3.6 or 3.7 weighted. I'm not sure. It still seems pretty hard to get into early decision. Any advice given would be helpful also. Thanks</p>

<p>I’m by no means an expert at university predictions but I’ll take a stab at it :slight_smile:
NYU looks at your weighted and unweighted GPA and I’m pretty sure the 3.6-3.7 average is the unweighted GPA…
Im not sure your SAT score will offset the low GPA because there are lots of people with better SAT scores and better GPAs that apply to nyu. From what I’ve heard NYU puts more weight on the math and CR scores though that might not be the case now… someone correct me if I’m wrong!
I think you have a good chance at LSP… non-LSP might be a slight reach…good luck!!!</p>

<p>I think CAS is a mid-reach for you right now. I can see you getting put into LSP though.</p>
