<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I was just wondering, would I still have a chance with 1830 SAT?</p>

<p>In all honesty, it's the only thing that darkens my mind.</p>

<p>My other stats are:</p>

<p>Male/Canadian/Canada (Applying to CAS)</p>

<p>GPA: 90%
Top 5%</p>

<p>SATII: 740 World History, 800 Korean</p>

<p>AP: US History (4), European History (3) <- prepared myself</p>

<p>Your comments would be really appreciated :)</p>

<p>what were your scores specifically, on each section?</p>

3

<p>oh, and which college are you applying to?</p>

4

<p>haha, sorry to post a million times, but since you're international, I believe that applying for financial aid is taken into consideration.</p>

5

<p>Well, I didn't apply for financial aid, and I'm applying to Arts and Sciences.</p>

<p>And for each section scroes, I have M660, W600, R570 (I belive NYU superscores, right?)</p>

6

<p>NYU's score ranges (middle 50%)
CR: 600-700
Math: 610-710
Princeton Review predicts their writing range at 660-730, but NYU doesn't put much/any weight on writing scores at this point. </p>

<p>So, I'd say you have a pretty decent chance of them overlooking your low section. However, this is supposed to be the toughest college admissions year yet, so nothing is certain. I'd say NYU is still in the realm of possibility for you, but not to count on going there yet. </p>

<p>GPS may be where you end up, there are several threads about it on this board, and NYU's site has info about it. </p>

<p>Note, my opinion is based strictly on info from past years, not any real knowledge.
Good luck! </p>

<p>Your CR score is a little bit low, but a fourth of the kids who go to NYU have scores lower than 600, and your math score's in range.</p>

<p>Thanks for detailed comments. It's appreciated :)</p>

8

<p>SAT score is a bit low, and depends on if u apply for financial aid or not.</p>

9

<p>Sorry if im hijacking this thread, but how much of an advantage do Int. students have when they dont apply for FA?</p>

10

<p>isn't NYU need blind?</p>

11

<p>It's need blind for American students, but because aid for foreigners is so limited, they take their finances into consideration. I believe that a lot of schools have financial aid policies that work this way.</p>

<p>i got in with an 1820 SAT / 25 ACT.</p>

<p>but my major application involved a supplement, which could have taken weight off my test scores.</p>

13

<p>Thx for all the comments. :)</p>

<p>I'm not trying to be obssessive or anything, but it would suck if I get rejected just because of low SAT scores.</p>

14

<p>I got in with an 1890.</p>

15

<p>Yeah I am sure there have been at least I hope for my sake.</p>

16

<p>What about stern ? Has anyone or anyone that you know got into Stern with a SAT in the 1900's?</p>

17

<p>It's true when they say that they look at more than SAT scores. I know of a kid in Stern who has an SAT score in the 1800s. What's even more surprising is that he's in Stern Scholars. And for any of you thinking he's a URM, he's not. So there's hope for all!</p>

18

<p>wow, thx for the info dealysyphen</p>

<p>I got into GSP for CAS with an 1840 SAT. This was for Fall 2006 ... dont know how much things have changed in 2 years.</p>

<p>I have a friend who is a Stern Scholar with an 1850 (I'm not kidding). He was #2 in his class though in a run-of-the-mill NYC public school. He is an anomaly though; the SAT was the one blemish on his otherwise stellar resume.</p>
