<p>Get that math score up and maybe get an internship at a history museum or something and you’re in. </p>

<p>Oh also try and raise that GPA to at least a 3.6 UW if you can. </p>

<p>Thank you very much for your feedback aoeu123. I see that NYU superscores so I will definitely be focusing on math for my next SAT. </p>

<p>In regard to the GPA, do you know if NYU allows you to resubmit grades/high school transcript? If I got the 3.6 UW at the end of my fall semester senior year, could I update my application?</p>

<p>If you are doing early decision, no. If you are doing regular decision, I believe you can send them in to support your application but it wouldn’t really matter much.</p>

<p>Just try and get all A’s both semesters of your junior year. </p>
