<p>What do you think?
If not NYU, what schools do you think I’m a match for?</p>

<p>Any suggestions on what else I should do before I apply?
SAT II’s I will do soon</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>I think you have a decent shot at NYU, esp. if that 4.0 is unweighted. The writing talent may come up big for you.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
