Hey All! Long Post.. But Please Read!!!
I am one of "those students".. who horribly regrets slacking off in high school and not focusing on academics at all. However, I have done "decent"... my only weakness in my application, I feel, is my GPA.. which unfortunately and regrettably is the most important part. Please help assess the chances of me getting into my dream college, NYU.

you have a decent chance...NYU is one of those schools that look at applicants hollistically. They want to see what you can contribute to their community. So yeah, Good luck!!!

Try applying early decision. That might help a bit.

True that, applying early decision is something you should do if you want to go to NYU that much. I think you have a great chance. See if you can get better grades.

The one thing colleges love to see is a student whose continues to challenge himself/herself and improves with that challenge. If you do that, it will be impressive to any school. Best of luck.
