<p>So.. NYU is my absolute top chioce school. I was just wondering what you thought my chances were of getting in/what i could do more to increase my chances of getting in.</p>
<p>I have a 3.85 weighted GPA, with a 4.0 weighted my junior year.
Im 25th in my class, out of 225 students overall, although my school does not send out rankings. Im in NHS as well as HHS, and am president of various clubs and activities. I began a club in my school, and have initiated various community service projects as well. I was involved in sports my first two years at school, and am taking the SAT tomorrow, so I cant tell you my scores yet. Do I have any chance of getting in at all? I know my GPA could be higher, but I also go to a private school, so the curriculum is a little more difficult than public schools in my area.</p>
<p>id probably apply undecided to be honest. i thought i wanted to apply to stern, but im having second thoughts on business. and i think my unweighted is like a 3.6</p>
<p>If you apply to CAS, with the way you describe yourself, you could probably get in. Have you taken the SATs/ACT/whatever it is they want yet?</p>
<p>If you applied to Stern and found out you didn’t want to do business, you could probably drop down to CAS later. I don’t know about your UW average though.</p>
<p>when people apply “undecided” it means they are uncertain of their major, not uncertain as to which school they want to attend. You need to know which school you want to be in. NYU has 7. do some research about the schools and find out which schools you are interested in.</p>
<p>Aside from Stern/Tisch, if you do well on your SAT, you should be able to get in.</p>
<p>“i think “undecided” would automatically place you in CAS. at any other NYU school you will be required to declare a major.”</p>
<p>Incorrect. You apply to a specific school, and only some programs within those specific schools require that you apply to a program directly (if such programs even exist anymore outside of Tisch). So they can apply “undecided” or specify a probable major, but it really doesn’t matter. From what I recall, CAS, Steinhardt, Gallatin, and even Stern operate this way.</p>
<p>OP, your stats sound fine. Don’t overload yourself with a million extracurriculars but try to dedicate a little more time to one or two to show a continued sense of leadership and commitment. This will also come in handy for your personal statement, which should reflect some sense of yourself that makes you really stand out.</p>

<p>[Students applying to the College of Arts and Science and to the Stern School of Business may indicate “Undecided” in the “Anticipated College Major” question on the application.
However, students applying to The Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, the Tisch School of the Arts, or our School of Continuing and Professional Studies MUST indicate a major, and may not select “Undecided”.]</p>
<p>Ok, so I was only wrong on Steinhardt. Odd, when I was applying, they didn’t have that requirement. In any event, checking “undecided” doesn’t affect anything; in fact, my advisor told me at orientation that I should just switch to “undecided” because I’d have to go through the department to declare a major later on anyway.</p>
