I’m a middle class, caucasian male residing in Texas. My horrid GPA worries me the most, though I have taken the most rigorous curriculum my school has to offer. I’m positive I’ll have great recs and hopefully a brilliant essay. Any input regarding my chances of being accepted at NYU (CAS - Journalism major) is highly appreciated.

Check it - Credentials:

SAT II: 760(Lit) 780(US His) - should I take more?
GPA: 3.9 weighted, 3.12 unweighted
Rank: 13/180 - 3A public school in rural Texas
Extra Curriculars: >200 hours of community service
National Honor Society

Parliamentary Procedure/Chapter Conducting: 5th place at state (9th grade)
3rd place at state (11th grade)

Dairy Foods Judging (lame, I’m aware): 17th at state (10th grade)

I hope that’s enough information.
