<p>you have a shot. like I just posted here for someone else, at the ivy and many top schools, hook is important. I don’t know if that is true at NYU, but hook is what seems to get many people in. your act 28 is fine - probably like the 95% of people taking the test. I know someone who just got into dartmouth with a 29 act and no hook. so you never know. Top schools, even HYPS, do accept applicants with high 20s on the ACT if there are other parts of the application that are outstanding. UPENN Wharton last year accepted the second ranked kid in the senior class at another high school near me last year with an ACT 29. So you never can tell what a school will do.
Your stats are good. But there is no lock at the ivies or other top schools, even with a 2400 / 36 4.0. Top schools have plenty of top applicants. Having some kind of hook, strong legacy, superstar athletics, is real important at HYPS etc. Better to be a 3.0 with an SAT 2000 with super strong/generous legacy instead of a 4.0 / 2400. Yeah, you need some decent grades/scores to get into top schools. But at those programs, the hook is very important. They reject many 2400 / 4.0 applicants every year and accept many with much lower scores/grades. Just my opinion. Good luck.
P.S. I even know one person who just got into Dartmouth with an ACT 29 (didn’t take the SAT I. and scored like a 700 on her SAT II tests.) She says she had no hook. but she did have some great ecs and was ranked in the top 5% out of several hundred. so you do have a chance.</p>
