<p><em>i dont know if this particular fact helps but im the only person in my school taking multivariable calculus as a senior in my school</em></p>

<p>AP's: 5 on all of them</p>

<p>will i get into NYU?</p>

<p>Your grades are mostly B’s. But your SAT is good. Are you trying for Stern School of Business?</p>

3

<p>i wanted to do engineering, but would it help if someone in my immidiate family went to stern?</p>

4

<p>Get your SAT score up. If you’re trying to get in with a 3.5ish (like me), you’ll need an amazing SAT score to make up for it. Like I have a 2400 right now but even that won’t completely make up for the GPA. That’s if you want CAS or Stern. </p>

<p>If you’re looking into Gallatin, Steinhardt, or NYU Poly, the requirements are lower.</p>

5

<p>If you apply CAS, you will probably get placed into LSP. You need to raise that SAT and SAT II’s to accommodate for your GPA.</p>

6

<p>Your unweighted junior GPA is a 2.6 or so. That’s an entire 1 point behind the CAS average. You’ll need to bring your SAT score up quite a bit to get into CAS. T</p>

7

<p>Assuming all your classes are weighted equally, your GPA is somewhere around ~2.92. The average NYU CAS student has GPA of ~3.6+. Even with a 2010 SAT, I would say admission to CAS, or NYU for that matter is well… Impossible. Only 1% of admits have a 2.9 GPA or lower.</p>

8

<p>Get your GPA and SAT scores up. But don’t assume that schools like Gallatin will be a shoe-in…the acceptance rates this year (in lowest to highest) were Tisch, Stern, Gallatin, CAS (others weren’t released at my orientation).</p>

9

<p>And fyi, I’m more proud to say I go to Gallatin than NYU.</p>

This is relevant to OP’s question… How?</p>
