It looks like you have a well rounded resume.

Try to bring your grades up a little. Do not let sports which are important ruin your academic average. Your Chemistry grade was not good. If you again miss a great deal of class (which you should try very hard not to do) ask your teacher for extra work, make ups and his suggestions.

Your guidance counselor or school college adviser should give you a pretty good guesstimate of your chances at NYU.

In general the advice usually is to apply to some colleges that are very safe, others that you may have to stretch a little, and some that you believe that are above your level.

In any case don’t worry about it and enjoy your remaining high school time.
