I applied regular decision to nyu. I have been super anxious about it lately and would like to know if you guys think I should just stop hoping all together or what.
GPA:
weighted: 4.1
unweighted: 3.9
ACT: 30
I have taken 5 AP classes in the last two year (my school only offers them for grades 11 and 12). The rest of my classes are honors level.
ECs:
Foreign language honor society
National honor society
Student Council
Newspaper
Community service
yearbook
peer mentoring
My essay is pretty solid (8/10)
recommendations are great too (9/10)
For reference I got into fordham early in November.

IDK how you can come to the conclusion of having a 9/10 for recommendations. Did you not waive the right to see them? Your rigor is pretty mediocre IMO. Unless you took all the AP’s your school had to offer, then you definitely should have taken more as a junior and senior. EC’s are OK, GPA is good and ACT is OK.
All in all, you have a good chance.
What’s your intended major? What school did you apply for? Your ECs are relatively generic and all over the place, so that could be a possible minus.
Academics are fine, though (could be better, but is in the middle 50% for NYU). I’d say you have a good chance, but it’s hard to tell without the two questions above.
@NotABonobo Sorry I didn’t clarify. For recommendations I just meant I have really strong relationships with the teachers I asked so I’m anticipating them to be fairly good. Thanks for the reply!
@anonpenn2022 I applied for the liberal studies program! Thanks for replying!
Never ever give up hope! Always have some sort of positive thinking going for you! Your stats are pretty on-par with NYU applicants these days. 
You great essays and recs will help you out a lot! I’ve seen many people rank their recs so don’t let others comments bother you–they just must not be on CC very much. Liberal studies is one of the easier programs to get into at NYU as well. I wish you the best of luck!! (I applied to Steinhardt for Media Culture and Communication. )
@kuhlm44937 Thank you for the encouragement! Good luck to you too!
I had the same GPA and same ACT and got accepted into GLS. Like you, my stats were average but I had great recs and a great essay.
NYU really does look at the whole picture and they look for students who are best “fit” so I think you have a good chance. Good luck.
I think grades wise you have a good chance at NYU. Now the real question is your extra curricular activities, do you have any leadership positions in any of the extracurricular activities and such.

@ calculus jokes I only hold one officer position and it’s in NHS. I’m hoping that my essay makes up for my subpar ECs.
