<p>Here are some of my school's stats for Cornell:
Average Accepted GPA: 98.75 (I have a 95.76) *** My GPA is considered pretty low in comparison here, but I have shown a great upward trend since freshman year. Eliminate my freshman year grades and early sophomore, and I would have about a 99.33 average, hypothetically
Combined SAT 1600: 1396 (I have a 1470)
Single SAT 2400: 2071 (I have a 2240)
Combined SAT 2400: 2092 (I have a 2270)
Acceptance Rate: 366/797 (46%)</p>

<p>I also live in NYC and likely won't need much financial aid</p>

<p>Unless they’ve changed their policies recently, I believe that you are only permitted to apply to a single division of NYU within a single admissions cycle. I’d say your chances are excellent at the School of Arts & Sciences, and solid (although less certain) for Stern. Gallatin is small, with quirkier (ie. “holistic”) admissions, and so it’s tough to predict chances. </p>

<p>@woogzmama On the Common App, it allows you to put down other schools you’re interested in</p>

<p>OK, then, I must have been confusing it with other schools, or that might have applied only to Tisch (which my son looked at several years ago). My mistake.</p>
