Not that I’m not encouraged by what you’ve all said, but how can NYU and especially UVa be matches for me? I don’t know all that much about NYU’s nature of selectivity but from what I’ve seen UVa seems to be all about (almost ONLY about) GPA. And as you can see my junior year sticks out like a sore thumb. And I’m very afraid that my senior year semester grades, regardless of improvement, won’t be able to save me.
