<p>What are my chances of getting in NYU CAS Early Decision?</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: 2010 Composite
-640 Reading -650 Math -720 Writing
(I'm retaking the SAT in October to try and get it over 2100)</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 good recs, but I'm going 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 </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 maybe if I get a 2100 on the SAT that it will kind of offset my 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>
