<p>Freshman average: 70
Sophmore average: 71
Junior average: 1st semester around 70-75 …currently in the 3rd quater</p>
<p>I go to a private catholic high school …Is it still possible for me to bring my grades up and get into a great college like NYU?</p>
<p>I havent taken the SATs yet and ive done a reasonable amount of Extra Curriculur activities…</p>
<p>No, with grades that low you have virtually no shot to NYU.</p>
<p>If you need professional help, the founders of CC will evaluate your chances for 80 bucks? Or something like that.</p>
<p>People are deadly honest here.</p>
<p>You should maybe get leadership positions in your extracurricular activities, study really hard to do well on your SAT, and maybe get involved in a sport if you like one. </p>
<p>I don’t know how much of a chance you have in getting into NYU, but nobody on CC can really give a professional evaluation (unless they can, but I think most people speak from experience & knowledge from the Internet, etc.)</p>
<p>Better to be blunt and accurate than to be nice and give a person unreasonable expectations.</p>

<p>How exactly does one go about doing that. How helpful/legitimate is it?</p>
<p>when u hit college confidential theres a section called “counseling” for 89 dollars he’ll give you chances to your schools, read one of your essays, and counsel you on waht to do. However, with a average that low, its obvious he will tell you ur chances are bleak and to be competitive you have to hit the 2200’s and higher if you want a chance at NYU.</p>
<p>2200 to have a chance at NYU? Ummmmmm</p>
<p>thanks try to be as honest as you can</p>

<p>Ack, sorry for that comment, flong. I mixed this up with another thread where the OP has a 3.9 unweighted.</p>
<p>i think it depends on your majors and your extracurriculars, but mostly what you’re gonna major in? unless you want to do something related to performing arts and you have an amazing performance record, i think no for NYU.</p>
<p>in which case you would still have to obviously get your SAT high</p>
<p>i know a girl who got into some form of the performing arts program in NYU and her grades weren’t all that great. but for other majors, students do tend to have waaay more competitive grades & sat scores</p>
<p>well its basically to be a physicians assistant,buisness,pre-med…see if i get the opportunity i wont let it go to waste. If there are any suggestions i would love to her them.</p>
<p>I’ve always wondered… is it possible to apply with an arts major and then completely change your mind once at the school? Question is directed at eugenia, here. :]</p>
<p>murkywater, it really depends on the college, but for most – yes, you can. of course, if you want to change to a major that is competitive to get into, you might have some trouble doing that. and if you want to do that at school like NYU, getting in as an arts major will require portfolios, proof of extracurriculars, a list of shows, etc. </p>
<p>but yea, every college does it differently. i went to a bunch in LA just last week and they all had different policies, so if you want to find out about a specific one, call them i guess?</p>
<p>obviously good schools offer a change in major, but you’ll have to do well once you’re in if you want to switch to something you just couldn’t get into in the first place.</p>
