Hey, I'm on the same boat as you.
I'm applying early to Steinhardt and I also met up with Ms. Linda Vega to review my portfolio.
My GPA is a 3.3 Which is pretty low, weighted is a 3.9
And my SAT score is a 1980.
I just took the ACTs and I'm expecting to get around a 30 or 31.
I took 8 APs, Including the ART one which i got a 4.

I asked Ms. Vega who usually gets in, and she said as long as your portfolio is strong in critical thinking and creativity (meaning not alot of still lifes or classwork pieces), you break 1200 (adding math and reading), you get around a 3.4, and you write a good essay for the NYU app, you'd have a pretty good chance of getting in.

I'm worried I wont get in though, because NYU only takes 50 out of 450 applicants for the steinhardt school of art.

Good luck to you.
