What are my chances at NYU?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey guys!
So NYU is my clear dream school and I am trying everything I can do in my power to get in-- I plan on applying Early Decision I but am currently a junior in high school.
My numbers are slightly low due to my freshman year, 3.2 uw 3.3 w. Without my freshman year however I would have a 3.6/7 w.
I am taking the SAT's in two days and next month and am currently in tutoring I plan to get around 2000-2100 (my practice test score range) and I plan on doing the ACT's as well, hopefully a 30+.
By the time I graduate I will have finished 7 honors courses and 4 AP's.
For my EC's
worked part time 3 years
Middle East Appreciation Club 2 years
School Paper 3 years (hopefully an editor for one)
President of environmental club 1 year, member 3
Model UN 2 years
Varsity Dance 2 years
Cheerleading 1 year out of school
I will start volunteering at the local library soon as well. </p>

<p>also i know NYU really appreciates culture I have 3 citizenships (Canadian, American, and Croatian) and I plan to write my essay on how my parents escaped the Bosnian War as refugees and how that has impacted my life and learning process. I am also fluent in Croatian and will finish AP French by the time I graduate.
Finally I want to major in Global Journalism and International Affairs. </p>

<p>Thank you so much!!!</p>

<p>Your SAT is looking good for NYU but your GPA could use some improvement. Also, make sure you take APs next year. I would say NYU is a low reach school for you.

<p>also what other schools should i consider if nyu is too much of a reach, i’m having trouble finding another school similar that i like with much lower standards. </p>

<p>its always tough when we don’t have an ACTUAL standardized test score to work with. as of now, your chances look pretty solid. but ask again once u have firm scores. theres a pretty big difference from a 2000 to a 2100 when it comes to college admissions. best of luck</p>
