intended major?
try to aim higher on SAT. For the class of 2023, the median admitted SAT was 1480. You may also find you do better on ACT than SAT.
Other than a possible weakness in standardized test scores (which you don’t know yet) it looks good, but bear in mind NYU’s admission stats are now in the mid-teens so it is pretty much a reach for everyone. If you are really sure it’s your top choice, and that funding is not an issue, then you might want to consider applying early decision to boost your chances.
