<p>I’m not sure what they mostly look at but it depends. Your GPA and SAT score are definitely high enough to get you in and you have a good amount of extracurricular activities. I have a much lower SAT than yours (1520/2400) but a slightly higher GPA (96.35 W) and I got in. I think you have a pretty good shot in getting accepted.</p>

<p>The Common Data Set shows what they evaluate: <a href=“http://www.newpaltz.edu/oir/cds_c.pdf[/url]”>http://www.newpaltz.edu/oir/cds_c.pdf&lt;/a&gt; Section C7
Your SAT is near the top 75% which is good. What is your UW GPA (because that is what is used on the CDS)?</p>
