<p>My grades aren't solid and my extracurricular activities aren't exactly outstanding but that's why I'm applying ED to NYU (Steinhardt). It's my first choice so it's understandably out of my radar. I'd like to know what you guys think my chances are just because. Thanks.</p>

<p>Letters of Recommendation:
-3 (AP Lang teacher, AP Bio teacher, and Varsity tennis coach.)
-Not sure how strong they are. I waived my rights to see them and so have respected that pledge and did not ask my teachers about my letters. But there's a reason why I asked them so I'm counting on the fact that they're good.</p>
<p>Essays:
-Common App essay is fairly strong. I may be being too humble or too generous in my evaluation but my college counselor worked through them with me and we were both satisfied with the finished product.
-I think the supplemental is also good.</p>
