ACT Scores Dilemma/Chances for ED To Steinhardt

<p>Hi, I am EDing to NYU Steinhardt and I am so confused about my ACT scores, because i took it in September and got a 25 ( which NYU is not going to want) and I am taking it again this Saturday, but I dont know whether I should send in September score or not to show that I have improved ( hopefully Oct will be considerably higher), Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Also is it bad that I am EDing granted that I did not take any APs my Junior Year due to scheduling issues, but I am taking AP GOV and AP Lit this year.</p>

<p>Please Help, I'm going crazy!</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I think to be able to get into NYU you would need a 28 minimum, and even then it is competitive. I would say you should still ED and see what happens after taking the ACT again? If not the ACT, try the SAT?</p>

<p>If your applying to Steinhardt then you must be submitting a portfolio or creative piece. My son’s appling ed at Tisch’s Clive Davis program and they said the portfolio was 50% of the application weight. Make sure your portfolio is dead on. Also, remember NYU has changed its testing policy giving more options. My guess is the 28 won’t be a big problem if you wow them with your portfolio or audition.</p>

<p>there are majors in Steinhardt where no portfolio or creative piece is required. (nutrition, applied psych, media, etc.)</p>

<p>Yeah I am EDing to MCC and it doesn’t require a portfolio/audition. Hopefully I’ll do well tomorrow and then I can breathe a little. I want to get in so so so bad ( just like everyone else haha) thanks to whoever replied!</p>
