<p>What is your GPA? That’s the most important aspect of your application. If it’s similar to your test scores, you’re probably in.</p>

<p>I’m at an IB international school doing the Diploma Programme, so we don’t follow a GPA system :/</p>

<p>It looks like you have a good chance. Write some good essays and your chances are solid.
Though be careful with EDII. International students have to pay full tuition, and perhaps at other schools in the US they don’t. But once you are in with EDII, it is binding.<br>
Also, NYU is pretty hands-off as a university. Get ready to be on your own with most everything you do. If you can handle that, go for it! NYU is a great place.</p>

<p>@greenwich garcon could you maybe give examples of hands-off? that’s kinda disappointing haha</p>
