I’m from Canada and hope to get into NYU as my first choice or UCLA and USC. During my freshman year, I slacked off and got a 78% average. I am now in my sophomore year and I have a 91% average. If I maintain a 90+ average and get good SAT scores what are my chances of getting in?
Extremely hard to say without any test scores but I really would work on your GPA. At least you are showing an upward trend but a 78 and 91 would give you a composite average of 84.5. Keep working hard and give it a try. All those schools will be reaches for you but nothing is impossible and you never know. I would also recommend finding some matches and safeties also.
Can you afford these schools?
Thanks for the advice! Money is not that big of an issue although I hope to get scholarships and financial aid. If my score is over 2000 and a lot of extra curricular would I have a chance?
