<p>Your SATs and GPA are fairly low for NYU, and you don't have a lot of extracurriculars. I would consider NYU a reach for you.</p>

<p>hey i'm indian, cut me some slack</p>

<p>Indian as in origins from India or Native American?? If you're Native American, you have a great chance.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>haha nah, asian indian, but still how are my odds?</p>

[Gingahbman]

<p>i'm in tristate area, hoping that'll help a bit, competitve high school, last year they accepted 14 kids from our school to NYU, some with lower SATS some with higher</p>

<p>NYU is probably a reach for you....the fact that you're Indian, and from the tri-state area doesn't help at all either. But you never know, you've still got decent stats, a great essay and recs. might just get you in. I would strongly advise you to apply early to increase your chances. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

[Gingahbman]

<p>well its too late to apply early. ONly thing i can do really is boost up SATS. How many points should i Aim to increase it by?</p>

[Gingahbman]
