Why didn't I buckle down?

It's nearing the end of junior year, and my GPA is 3.58. If I had worked only SLIGHTLY harder my GPA could have been 3.63. Or maybe even higher? I feel like a complete idiot.


Will that GPA severely affect my chances of getting into NYU? Please be honest =]

How would we know?
Reply:If there's one thing I've learned in life it's that nothing is impossible. Even if your GPA isn't high enough you can still get in eventually. After you graduate high school things become less about grades/GPA and more about experience and willingness/ability to contribute to the college community. My grades were crap in high school. I almost flunked out yet I got accepted to an ivy league school. I declined the offer because if there are two things I've learned in life the second one would be that ivy league schools are overpriced and overrated!
Reply:Only you can answer that question. Sounds like you've learned something from your experience.





NYU is very competitive, so the higher your grades, the better your chances of being admitted. But be sure you apply to a range of schools: "safety", "pretty sure thing" and "reach".
