Planning Advance - Suggestions?

Alright. I am currently a sophomore in high-school and basically in total awe with NYU. I would love to attend NYU one day.

Now, My only concern is.. These past two years have been rough. My Italian teacher last year, really got the best of me, and, my grade in that class has been horrible. Ultimately, dragging down my average by 5-6 points each quarter.

Freshman year, my average was around an 85 for all classes. (I don't know how to change that to GPA).

This year.. It's around the same. It slipped last quarter and dropped to an 82. But, the quarter before that it was up to an 87. It's generally in the mid-80s. Next year, I won't be taking Italian, thus, my average will raise. Dramatically.

I currently live in Southern NY. Less than, around, 75 miles from NYC. I go there often. In fact, I am going down next weekend. But, anyway. I'm a NYer.

Next year I am taking - Calc AB (AP), AP Accounting, US History Honors, Regents Chem, Gym, and 11 English.

My Math A regents was an 80, raw score. But, with the curve it rose to an 89. I will be taking the Math B regents next month, and hope to score higher. (Aiming for a good 95).

I am interested in Accounting. I would love to be a CPA one day. Which, brings my interest to NYU Stern.

I currently run my own online business, requiring hours upon hours of work each day. Thus, I do not participate in any after school activities.

-x-

Now. From there. What path would you suggest I need to take to get into NYU Stern?

Thank you in advance!
