<p>Freshmen and sophomore year was not so great my gpa averaged out to a 3.2 UW...
So far my junior year my gpa UW is a 3.8. If I keep this up what are my chances of getting into NYU, Fordham or Syracuse?</p>
<p>Also my school is pretty competitive and selective so my class rank may not be that great...</p>
<p><em>Taking average-upper level classes</em> - no AP yet but def senior year
<em>Havent taken SATs or ACTs yet</em> - But I'm guessing ill get around a 1700-1900, Math is my best I can get a 700 at least
*Part of the track and field team, Might be leader of entrepreneur club next year and part of investment club...also do a fair amount to community service.</p>
<p>Give me my odds, honestly I have no idea whats going to happen....</p>
<p>It would help if you had your SAT scores, but based on your junior year GPA, you sound alright. A lot of schools like to see that you either stayed consistent with good grades, or worked harder. The fact that your freshman and sophomore years weren’t good may hurt or save you. Not taking an AP in junior year may slightly hurt you, but as long as you are taking challenging courses this year, AND doing well, you are okay.
From what I know, NYU is a definite reach because they expect SAT scores around 2100 or above, and a high GPA. Fordham may be a little shaky because they can be picky with different aspects of your application. I’m not sure about Syracuse, sorry. Honestly, as a junior, I wouldn’t worry about getting into colleges yet. I would work really hard and stay motivated to ECs, school work, and SATs, then worry about colleges in July or August.
A note for when you start your applications, write a strong essay. It’ll make you stand out as a person rather than a number.
I am a high school senior this year, so I know exactly what you feel.
Thanksfully, I am finished with my college process.
Good luck with junior year!</p>
