<p>did you take geometry </p>

3

<p>@savedtatwhim I did take geometry over the summer and passed in order to skip a math. Would that be a problem in the application process?</p>

4

<p>Skipping geometry is not an issue. I didn’t take Algebra 2 and I still got in. What’s your intended major? Getting into the business school (Steinhardt) or the arts/writing school (Tisch) is much more difficult than getting into the school of Arts and Sciences. And yeah, you would need a higher SAT score (minimum 1900)</p>

5

<p>I plan on majoring in the sciences for pre-med. I am mostly reaching for the school of Arts and Sciences. I am currently taking a prep class so hopefully it will go up! @Violet1996‌ Are you currently attending or planning on it?</p>

<p>@violet1996 that’s awesome! were you surprised or did you think you fit into NYU?</p>

8

<p>@aeji123 I wasn’t too surprised (my GC told me it was a match before I retook the SAT). When I visited the school in October, I fell in love with it because being in the heart of the city is so exciting, and it has really come a long way with it’s science programs. BTW, feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions (about stats, ECs, whatever). =)</p>
