I know a lot of people have asked this, but I thought I would just put it out there. I am a rising senior in high school and have a cumulative GPA of 3.7. I have only taken one AP class (AP US History), but my school does not offer that many to juniors, so this is actually more than most juniors take. I got a 1310 on my SAT I's, but I plan on retaking them and I am almost sure I will get at least a 1380. I have not taken my SAT II's yet but have been practicing and I am sure I will do well on those. I have 200+ community service hours and will recieve an award for recieving that many. I am president of FCCLA and Science Club and Vice President of Ecology Club. I am also in French Club, NHS, Naional French Honor Society, Peer Helpers, and Medical Club. This summer, I currently am part of a youth advisory council to create a health program for intercity youth, help to raise funds for the Uganda Rural Fund and am in the Book club at the library. Also, I am African American.

SAT scores out of 1600

Your grades and SAT scores are slightly below the average of students who are admitted to NYU -- but close enough where you have a legitimate chance. Your chances will improve if you can raise your SAT scores a little and take AP classes as a senior.
Even with all of this -- you may not get into NYU -- but will almost certainly get into some really good university.
Being African American will not help you much at most of the better state universities (because of recent laws enacted prohibiting them from using race as a factor). But many of the better private universities are thirsty for qualified black students -- so you should be able to get aid somewhere good.
Apply to NYU -- but apply to a number of its peers as well.
Good luck

Yes. Your overthinking it. I applied to schools two days before deadlines and I still got in. Some offered me scholarships. I never took AP courses. Seems like you did since your GPA is over a 4. NYU isn't that insane to get into. Its a challenge but it isnt as bad as you think.

I would imagine that you have a fairly good chance of getting in. I'm not on the admissions council or anything, so I cannot guarantee it, but it seems to me that not only are you fairly well rounded, but you have good grades and excellent work ethic, so your chances are probably pretty good. Good luck!
