What are my chances of getting into NYU?

Rank: 18/631 (Top 2%)
GPA: 3.9 out of 4.0
HPA: 4.6
AP Classes: 12 (A’s in all so far and passed all so far)
SAT: 1270 (low)
Essays: Pretty Damn Good (8/10)
Recommendations: Most likely good
Race: Black (if that’s relevant)
Clubs: 4 that I’ve actively been involved in for at least 3 years straight

I am also applying with the around the same SAT score, and I have seen many things saying we are in the lower percentage and it is a reach for us to get in. But I have also heard from reliable sources that the SAT is not a major factor in acceptance, so your rigor of your courses (excellent), your confident in your essay, and your ECs seem solid. I think people like you and I actually have a pretty good chance

Hopefully we’ll both get in. I hope they don’t weigh the SAT too heavily.

Exactly. Best of luck to you!

@Cmichael23 did you submit your application yet?

Yes. I submitted back in October for EDI. Have you submitted yours yet?

@Cmichael23 I submitted mine back in October for regular decision, but NYU allowed me to change it to early decision 1 on November 15th. But I hope we both get in, it’s almost time!!!

I know!!! I’m very excited. Good luck to us both!

If anyone from the future is reading this, I was admitted and I’ll be attending next fall!
