I’m wondering what my chances are of getting in to NYU. I’m a white male from NJ applying RD as an undergraduate to CAS as a computer science major.

Classes: all honors or ap since sophomore year (there aren’t too many honors classes offered to freshmen)
GPA: everybody calculates it differently, but I’m basically a straight A student with a couple of B’s on my transcript
Class rank: top 6%
SAT: 2000 (660 CR 650 M 690 W)
SAT II’s: haven’t taken them yet, but should do pretty well
AP tests: AP Latin Vergil - 3 AP Computer Science A - 5
EC’s: enough, including concert band, tennis club, honors societies, and plenty of service hours
My recs and essay/short answers should all be pretty good.

I’d appreciate anybody’s thoughts on this. Thanks.
