Trying to judge whether or not a student will get into Gallatin is, in many ways, like trying to guess whether a student will get into Tisch. A large part of Gallatin admission is how driven they see you as, if your goals are in line for self-guided study, etc. That being said, they are going to look to see how you have performed previously. Gallatin, being a kind of self-designed study, looks for student who are capable of handling their responsibilities and often exceeding them. A 3.2 GPA does not reflect a strong, independent student. That being said, I would aim for a 3.6 GPA and 2000+ on the SATs minimum for a good chance of getting in.
