<p>I suppose you have a great chance if you apply ED. You have good everything- Ecs, GPA, SAT score. I guess just focus on your essays. Good luck!</p>

<p>I thought I'd respond to some of these threads cause I was in your shoes last year (NYU is all and better!!!)</p>

<p>Nonetheless, your test scores are good (especially for ED) the GPA a bit low, and comperable to other apllicants "rigor" the courseload is also good, but I'd say most NYU applicants take almost exclusively High Honors and Ap courses (if they're offered)</p>

<p>What would you do if they offered you GSP? Something to think about, it's very common in cases where say the tests are very strong, but the GPA not so much and vice versa. (I think they have a new name for GSP next year...or so rumour has it)</p>

<p>I am not sure how they re-calculated weighted GPAs but 4.02 seems fine. NYU</a> > Undergraduate Admissions > Explore NYU > Fast Facts</p>

<p>I am not sure if NYU will start checking the SAT writing score but you seem fine. </p>

<p>The average UNWEIGHTED GPA is 3.63. Your academics are good enough. Now it's just your essays and personal responses to do the rest.</p>
