Could I get into the following colleges:

Hampton University
New York University
With the following criteria:
Freshman GPA: 1.0 (no AP's) - My dad died a few days before school started.
Sophomore GPA: 2.2465 (no AP's) - My mom re-married.
Junior GPA: 4.28 (3 AP's)

Top 50% of class.

I'm an Ethiopian-American female.
Desired Major: African-American Studies and History with a Sociology minor.
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! =)
