<p>NYU has been a dream school for me for a while. It would be nice to get the opinions of others. I am a senior in high school.</p>
<p>NOTE: I have been to three different high schools. Therefore, it has been hard to maintain exceptionally high grades.</p>
<p>If it matters, I am also Black (Caribbean descent) and gay, which was the basis of my essays.</p>
