<p>Hi this many not be appropriate but i'm a 10th grade student who had an average gap of 2.8 in 9th grade. I had almost no extracurricular activities and community service near zero. This year I'm doing better but still i'm failing in math and have a d in biology. Other than that other subjects are between 4-5, 5-6 out of 7. I'm going to try much harder this year and the rest of my high school year and my community service and extracurricular are looking good this year.</p>
<p>Say I do everything as required for NYU for the rest of my high school years, what would be my chances?</p>
<p>9th grade: gpa 2.8</p>
<p>Could I get into Tisch of CAS from now on? What would I have to do, and what would be my chances.</p>
<p>I'm a really smart guy. It's just I never tried hard and gpa is low in freshmen year. If I gave a try I could probably get into Havard too but since i screwed up last year because of depression. Anyway what would be my chances for NYU Tisch or CAS and how would i have to do to achieve it?</p>
<p>I've visited the NYU college board site and 12 percent of students have gap between 2.5- 3.24. Hope I could fit in there and future gpa would be better so just saying.</p>
<p>It’s too early to tell right now, but I can still give you some advice on what to do. Your GPA is fairly low, so I’d obviously recommend raising that. You have plenty of time to do that, though. Try and get involved in some extracurricular activities that both reflect interest in your intended major, and show that you’re a well-rounded student. Also, start taking the SAT/ACT + writing now. I’d suggest that you take them both. Some people do better on the SAT than the ACT, so this way you have your choice between the two. Also, I’d suggest taking the SAT II’s (SAT subject tests). While it’s not required if you have taken the SAT/ACT + writing, it helps with admissions by showing what you’re capable of doing. In my opinion, high test scores and great extracurricular activities can make up for a low GPA. I’d recommend getting it to at least a 3.0, though, which is definitely possible given your time span. As for Harvard, that’s a reach for everyone. You could have a 4.0 GPA, and perfect SAT/ACT scores and still not get in. I’m not trying to discourage you, I’m just saying not to get your hopes up. But if you did have some great extracurricular activities, that would help out a lot if you did apply to Harvard. Good luck, though! Maybe I’ll see you there.</p>

<p>I was wondering to get into Harvard when should you try working your ass off?</p>
<p>It is not very smart if you do not start trying hard in high school. For those accepted with lower GPA, they must have great test scores and/or exceptional EC. For instance, those recruited into the basketball team may just need a GPA of 2.5. Fortunately, most schools do not count freshman year’s GPA. If you keep working hard and maintain your GPA above 3.5 (in 4.0 scale) and have great test scores, you will be in the high match area. Otherwise, you should look for schools that match you better.</p>
