My SATs are definitely below the average SATs for NYU. Chance me please!</p>

<p>International or domestic?</p>

<p>Thanks for the quick reply, SleepingGrunt! I’m a domestic student.</p>

<p>No problem. Well, obviously besides the low SATs…looks good. Especially that you’re diploma with that kind of GPA.</p>

5

<p>Except for your SAT, everything looks pretty well. Your IB curriculum helps a lot. Community service looks great too. I wouldn’t be surprised if you got accepted.</p>

<p>Best of Luck!</p>

6

<p>Thank you for your opinions! I really appreciate it!</p>

<p>More opinons would be nice… :)</p>

7

<p>Bump. I would like some more opinions for reassurance or to know that I don’t even qualify.</p>

<p>After seeing some of the ED decisions, it seems like one weakness in your application can make/break you. I’d say you’re a low reach because of the SAT scores.</p>

<p>you’ll probably get accepted. full IB can give a big boost and you were able to handle it (i had to drop it). plus, you have a ton of extracurriculars</p>
