Can I get into NYU?

Question

I'm a sophmore in high school but I can't stop thinking about college. As for grades, im in AP classes (a year above in math and science) and have mostly As but a few Bs in my classes. Oh, and I'm not in the top 10%, more like 20%, but I go to a high school rated one of the top 100 in the nation, so hopefully that will be taken into account. I also do a few extracurriculars, cross country and student council, but not a whole lot. I'm really serious about getting into a good college, and I'd appreciate your help. Thanks!

Answer 1

you probably will. its too soon to tell becuase u have to take SATs as well.
maybe after junior year u could get into the top 10 or top 15%. even so i think u could get in.
its good ur thinking about college. i didnt think of it until the end of my junior year. i used to not care about school. so i sucked my sophomore year. I was thinking of just going to a community college but then my junior year i suddenly changed and brought my 81 average to an 90 which for me that was great. My overall GPA is only an 85 but to get a 90 in my junior year that was pretty cool. so now im trying for 4 year schools. but i wish i tried harder in 10th grade.
so basically dont give up and definetlly work hard!~

Answer 3

Yes you can likely get into NYU, but it is ery overpriced and you probably will not get a free ride. I would look into the SUNY schools (if you are a NYS resident) for your undergrad and save NYU for graduate.

Answer 4

you'll need leadership in those activities and you'll need to nip those b's in the bud, but otherwise, you're definetly on the right track. i can't imagine you'll be rejected.

don't get too caught up in NYU. there are so many colleges just as awesome and in warmer locations.

Answer 5

It is too early to tell.

You still have two years to improve your rank in class. Stop worrying so much about two years from now & concentrate on now.
