<p>Quite a few people transfer from NYU each year actually, but your college gpa is unfortunately kinda low and puts you somewhere on the margin.</p>

3

<p>I think you are at the borderline.</p>

<p>academically you are not competitive enough, though 31 is not a bad score. </p>

<p>but your ECs are very impressive.</p>

<p>i really think you have a shot. you are unique, and very interesting. I would accept you, regardless of the ACT you have.</p>
