No, it won’t. While a 2170 is a good score, no matter how well you did, even getting a 2400 would not make up for your GPA, especially at a good school like NYU.
I might have said “maybe” if you had very in-depth ECs, but since you stated “not much”, unless you have extremely extenuating circumstances that you can explain, I would say your chances are really low for any NYU school
No. I’m sorry but like anxioussenior1 said, no SAT would make up for that GPA. GPA is an indicator of how you’ll perform at college, and while you standardized tests scores say you’re smart, your GPA tells them that despite that, you wouldn’t succeed at somewhere like NYU. Now, i don’t know if thats true for you. you may have been lazy freshman year and picked it up later, I really can’t say. And “you won’t succeed at NYU” isn’t my opinion, but that’s what I’ve been told college admissions officers think
Is that UW GPA on your transcript? I have a 3.68 weighted and my school doesn’t do unweighted so I don’t know what it is. My ACT score is 33. I was placed in the Liberal Studies Core Program. Don’t not apply. I wouldn’t call it impossible.
