Hey! I don't have answers to your questions but I am from Cali and preparing to apply for NYU spring 2014. I have taken all of the entry classes already and have a 3.5 gpa in the science classes but a 2.9 total I will be CNA certified and have an AA by the time I apply. U should try applying for spring 14! If u don't get in at least u will kno where u went wrong! Ahhhh I hate this process! Good luck!
