<p>You’re test scores are all really good, as is your gpa, plus all the IB/AP classes. They’ll also like how you’re not in 10 random clubs, but have 5 major activities with leadership positions. It’s unusual how you’re weighted gpa is so much higher than UW though.</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot, NYU CAS sounds like a match school for you. Remember to show some personality in your essays because this is a school that receives a ton of application and looks at more than just grades.</p>
