Hello, as of right now my dream school is also NYU, unlike you though I am a senior, which means that I can not do that much to improve my chances. You have an amazing application already and to be honest it is somewhat comparable to a lot of seniors applying to large state schools right now. To get into a school like NYU it's very important to that diverse range of activities which I can tell you have. I would try to best to do all the things that you have been doing, and try to make that GPA just go up a little more. I would also try to get some awards and try to get a higher class rank. Other than that it's just up to the world to decide your future, keep working hard and I promise you, you'll be more than fine.
