What are my chances of getting into NYU?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm currently a high school junior. I haven't taken the SATs or ACTs yet but I took the PSAT in October. I get those scores later this month but I felt pretty confident while taking them to be honest.</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA of 4.62
Weighted GPA is over 4.0 because A+s count as 4.33 at my school.
Currently in Honors English III, Honors Algebra II, Honors US II, Honors Chemistry, Spanish III, Sociology, and TV Production II (the last two are my electives). I took four honors courses my sophomore year as well, and two my freshman year (English and Algebra I). Next year I do plan to take at least one AP course, most likely AP European History and possibly AP Chemistry (or if not, then Honors Organic Chemistry).
I'm currently in the top 4% of my class, ranking 34th out of about 850 students.
As ECs go I take guitar lessons, and I know NYU values musical ECs very highly. Lots of volunteer work and many clubs including Rotary Interact, Red Cross Club, Spanish Club, and GSA (gay-straight alliance) which I am the president of. I'm also a member of the History NHS (since sophomore year) and Science NHS. I can apply for the English NHS later this year, as well as Spanish. I didn't have enough community service to get into the NHS this year, but next year I definitely will.</p>

<p>NYU has been my dream school for a long time now and I'd do anything to get in. Does it look like I have a good chance? My guidance counselor told me I probably do as long as I pick up my rank a little and score well on the SATs and ACTs.</p>

<p>In fact Tisch is the one NYU unit that values musical ECs most.</p>

<p>NYU: Aim for 31+/2100+</p>

<p>I just got my PSAT scores back.
60 (600) in Critical Reading
61 (610) in Math
70 (700) in Writing.
Most of my classmates scores around the 150(0) and 160(0) range. I’ve never done any SAT prep before, so obviously when I take the real SAT my score will be higher.</p>

<p>Whoops… that adds up to 191 (or 1910)</p>

<p>Forgot to add, sorry!</p>

<p>well first thing is to not doubt yourself … you seem like a highly diligent student who has obviously worked hard to get to where you are now! You have to give yourself credit for that.</p>

<p>Based on what you wrote, I’d say you could have a chance at NYU. I’m no admissions officer or anything but your transcript seems pretty awesome. </p>

<p>En NYU hay un clase de Quechua, un idioma nativa en los montanas Andes. Si eres aceptado a NYU espero que tomes un clase de Quechua porque la idioma es hermosisma! Porque no lo aprendes para diversion? jaja
Esto es clandestino entre tu y yo…a menos que alguien usa google translate xD</p>
