Will I be rejected now?

<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 while my WEIGHTED GPA rose. </p>

<p>UW: 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>My weighted GPA ends up being a 3.85 for first semester which is higher than my original weighted GPA (3.8). I don't know if NYU evaluates using weighted or unweighted GPAs. A drop in UW GPA but an increase in weighted GPA.</p>

<p>Will this seriously hurt me? Does anyone know if NYU looks at first semester grades for EDII applicants? Will they look at the unweighted GPA more or the weighted? Hopefully the latter. 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>

<p>Well your midyear report is taken into consideration and it will look bad if you dropped GPA, but if you have stellar ECs and a great essay i don’t think it would put you at that much of a disadvantage. </p>

<p>It depends on a lot of factors but I wouldn’t sweat it. Just hope you have some stellar ECs and essays :)</p>

<p>Your SAT is low as well. It’s going to be tough for you. </p>

<p>@soze I’m not applying to Stern. I’m applying to Steinhardt. A 1990 is not low for Steinhardt.</p>

<p>A 1990 is not too bad for NYU! You have a great chance, but I’d have to see EC’s to tell you more</p>
