mostr difficult schedule possible in my school

Extracurricular:

120+ hrs volunteering at hospital
cocaptain of wrestling team
baseball team
sports editor of school newspaper
EAGLE SCOUT-tons of service hours
Rotary club sr of the month
more ECs than ive listed

My freshman and sophomore grades were consistant low Bs and one C+ each year…
Junior year grades imporved and Sr year GPA is about 3 pts higher than career

essay assume above average
recommendations by 2 qualified teachers plus one from hospital I volunteer at.

My letter of deferal from BU suggested sending sr year grades, i presume its to see if my junior year grades were an anomily or if i actually did mature after sophomore year. I think senior grades will help me, but do i have a legit shot?

please give suggestions for getting into NYU and asses chances of other schools. thanks
