<p>NYU is my first choice and dream school. I've applied as an EDII applicant and am waiting for my decision to come in less than two weeks now.</p>
<p>The thing is, I have a really low GPA. I have a 3.65 UW GPA with a 1990 SAT, but I've taken 4 APs and am currently taking another 4 this year (total of 8) and I go to one of the top 100 public high school's in the nation according to US News.</p>
<p>My issue is this:</p>
<p>Today, grades have been finalized and my senior UW GPA for first semester dropped from my cumulative. I got a 3.28 with 2 A's and 5 B's (4 are from my AP classes and one is from my physics class). I took AP Gov, AP Lit, AP Environmental Science, and AP Stats for my APs.</p>
<p>But, despite this, my weighted GPA ends up being a 3.85 which is actually higher than my original weighted GPA which is a 3.8. I don't know if NYU evaluates using weighted or unweighted GPAs but that's my situation right now: A drop in UW GPA but an increase in weighted GPA.</p>
<p>I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm scared that this drop will hurt me in my chances of EDII. I tried really hard this semester but I guess it wasn't hard enough.</p>
<p>Will this seriously hurt me? Does anyone know if NYU looks at first semester grades for EDII applicants? My schools automatically sent all finalized mid-year reports electronically today at 5PM so I can't do anything like having them sent in later.</p>
