Hi everyone, so I know that obviously no one here is an admissions officer, but it would be helpful if someone could chance me to get into NYU. I’m a current junior, and NYU is my dream school, so I’m planning on applying early decision round 1.

Intended major: Media, Culture, and Communications

Arab female living in Dubai, but American citizen. Upper middle class.
GPA: My school only does year-long grading so I don’t have a junior year GPA yet, but my unweighted GPA from freshman and sophomore year is 3.5. I calculated my UW junior year gpa right now with my grades, and it’s a 3.78.
ACT: I took it in October and got a 28, but I’m taking it again in a couple of weeks and aiming for a 30.
