i really mest up my freshman year and ended up with a gpa of 3.2 with no role in any sports or clubs or volunteering and as a sophomore i am so far maintaining my grades high and also taking honors classes and one thing about the honors is that i didnt take english 2 honors because my school has a very stupid schedule which makes playing a sport for school a 6th period and that is the only time for the class so will that affect the chance of acceptance in NYU? and i am determined to maintain to keep my gpa above a 4.0 as a sophomore and also when i be a junior and senior. but now im in 10th grade and i have been stuying my butt off literally as soon as i come home from practice i study for atleast 3 and a half hours for my school, psat, sat, act
anyways will someone help me out here if i am not good enough for NYU so far and how i can improve also i am planning to volunteer and i already am in a club Newspaper (lol) thanks guys and girls 10 points for the best answer

It is too early to tell.
If you can get a 3.8+ for your sophomore, junior and senior years and get high SAT scores, then you have a story to tell. In your admissions essay you can address the fact that you didn't do well in your freshman year & turned things around.
I did miserably as a freshman in college -- but did well after that. I got into a top ten MBA program and a top five PhD program -- so I know that the story can be compelling.
All that is left for you is to work hard.

man i highly doubt it try to keep your avaerage to a 3.7 or higher mine is a 3.7 and i have 600 hours of community servce in the surgery room at st johns hospital im in the scienc eolympiad and scienc enews paper doing and internship to columbia and join vearious medical programs im a junior in high school. Getting in NYU is very competitive you have to make yourself stand out even if u did get a 4.0 it wont bring ur gpa high enought but ive seen people with 93 for a gpa get into hardvard anything is possbile work ur hardest do a smuch activity as you can and wish for the best SATs really dont matter THAT much its more aobut how you are as aperson and what experiences you have
