<p>my gpa is a 3.78 uw (im a junior) i take APs and honors, i have superb leadership positions, but my sat is awful. i want to apply early decision to the education program at steinhardt in the fall. do i have a chance with a not so good sat score?</p>
<p>What exactly are your SAT Scores? The Valedictorian of my school was rejected to NYU early decision this year and he was very well rounded. He had a 3.9 unweighted GPA, took every single honors course that was available, had decent ec's with good leadership positions, and superb recommendations. Unfortunately he was lacking in one area, and that was standardized test taking. He had an SAT score of 1180/1790 and his subject tests were sub-par. If you let me know what your scores are, I can give you a better idea.</p>
<p>i implore you to keep working at it.</p>
<p>trust me, i was discouraged after my first SAT - 1830.</p>
<p>some blue book practice and now i have a 2120</p>
<p>good luck =D</p>
<p>thanks for the feedback. i got a 1750 (i know it's scary) and ive taken it once and didnt study. maybe i psyched myself out i have no idea.. or maybe im just really dumb. i think i need to look at different schools and it doesnt feel right</p>
<p>try the ACT if the SAT doesn't work out, but definitely take the SAT again, but this time STUDY! and the best way to study is to buy some books and take all the tests in there.</p>
<p>1750 really isn't that bad. especially since you're in the beginning of your junior year. time alone will increase your score.</p>
<p>the val at my school only has a 1780. sal has a 1580 (out of 2400)</p>
<p>trying the ACT wouldn't hurt.</p>
<p>maybe its because i applied to tisch, but i got in ED, and my sat is crappy, as well, at 1760. i retook it this past october and i did worse...a 1700...yeah....eeeesh, i know. i think my essays, my rec letters, and my audition rounded me out, so as long you have redeeming factors in your application, dont harp on it TOO much, but if you study hard enough and are confident that you will do better, then go fo it :) also, take the act! i got a 27 on that one lol.</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>a 2130? you have nothing to worry about. It's not an amazing score, but it's certainly not a bad one. You are definitely a competitive applicant.</p>
<p>The op has a 1760...</p>
<p>Anything above 2k is amazing. CC just doesn't see that</p>
<p>thanks guys :)</p>
