<p>rish,</p>
<p>You have solid SAT I and II scores, very good though not tops. Your GPA does look lower than average. I hope you had your guidance counselor writing something to address this or the school is well known by NYU. The Admissions people do know about many of the high schools from which they have received recurring applications. I think this is key. Also, your rank is within the top 10% NYU likes to draw from. Your editor in chief leadership role is good. My feeling is that it comes down to the type of essay you wrote and how that comes across to the Admissions people. Also, the type of recommendation letters you received, including what your guidance counselor wrote on your behalf.</p>
<p>So, as you can tell, these are subjective elements that none of us here have access to. So your “fate” depends on the written parts of the application that we know nothing about really. You will have to wait and see what the decision is in the coming 2 weeks or so (unless you hear from LSP first).</p>
