What are my chances at getting into NYU?

HI! I am a female, 50% Hispanic, upper middle class, and attending a public school. NYU is my dream school and I was wondering if I have any shot at all. I had some really rough grades freshmen and sophomore year but they were in honors classes so my GPA is still strong. And I have gotten straight As junior year and plan to senior year.

I will be an upcoming senior.

My unweighted GPA is 3.6 and if I get straight As all through senior year, which I know I can, it will be a 3.9
My weighted GPA is a 4.4 and if I get straight As all through senior year it will be around a 4.6

My ACT scores are 30(31 E, 33 R, 27 S, 29 M)

AP Classes-
US history-4
language- 5
government-4
psychology-5
I also received a transferable credit for my math classes (precalc, calc) this year will be the same for calc 2
and I am taking some more AP classes

by the end of senior year I will have taken 4 years of a foreign language

I have been active in the school drama program sophomore and junior year and I plan to senior year as well.

I am in the schools top concert band; I play the flute

I have been on my schools competitive dance team since freshman year, was a junior captain junior year and I will hopefully be the head captain senior year (we are like cheerleaders, but we dance instead of tumble)

I have done some volunteer hours, including tutoring students in math

Do I have any shot at getting into NYU? I know they only accept like 32%

NYU doesn’t care about what you’re half, what class you’re in, different people from all over go there, great university, also expensive as ever.

You should check their website, it’s pack of information. Check out the requirements and also feel free to call in for the tour. I went for the tour and the facility from my first experience is great! :slight_smile:

So please, check out the website, and apply. Also apply to other places as well as a back up. Wishing you all the best! :smiley:
