Well, I got into Gallatin with a 3.3 but it was unweighted, and I go to an intense high school.

Gallatin is supposedly easier with stats, but that still means that your essay and the rest of your application need to be stellar. I would remind you that just because you know that you are right for Gallatin, doesn’t mean NYU necessarily does. You don’t have to worry about this for a while, but when it comes time to do your app, make sure you show NYU that you’re right for Gallatin.



Yes thank you. I know what you mean. But as my guidance counselor said before, my GPA would be more or less the same if NYU themselves took out all the elective classes. My high school is very competitive too. We send roughly 15 to 20 kids to Ivy’s each year.

I’ll have the whole year to think of writing a good essay. I’m going to make the most of it.

And thanks esnyujind. That’s basically my goal for junior year.
