So my grades pretty much suck, but what do you guys think are my chances? Especially at NYU; that's my dream school.
Please be completely honest; don't post answers like "You can do whatever you set your mind to." Also, if you post a reply, please don't just say something like "I think you have a shot." Give me REASONS you think I have a shot; is it a reach? A match? What?
PLEASE reply, everyones opinion is valued.
Thanks! =)
