What GPA's do colleges want to see?

<p>For freshman year, I had an 89 average (B), which leads me into the 3.4 GPA av.
For sophmore year, I also had an 89 average, which leads me into the 3.4 GPA av.
For sophmore year, I took an honors english class. </p>

<p>So this coming junior year, I'm taking 2 AP's, and a non-mandatory language class. I'm afraid my GPA will be even more negatively affected because i'm taking so many difficult classes. How do colleges look upon this? </p>

<p>I want to get into a good college (I really want to get into NYU), but I don't know if my chances are super super low. I really need info on if my GPA is somewhat acceptable into getting into a college like NYU, or if I should stick to a community college (which I don't really want to do!)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You can google search what specific GPA’s certain schools look for. They show the ranges for GPA they look for and test scores and the whole lot.</p>

<p>No need to go to a community college; with a 3.4 City College can be gotten into (I assume that you are a NY resident or that you otherwise want to go to college in NYC) with 25+/1150+ CR+M.</p>

<p>Would any UC’s, or good colleges out of state be too much of a high reach?</p>
