<p>Please could someone chance me? I'm worried about my SAT scores being too low. I am a British applicant and therefore have not grown up with standardised testing. Also, I normally get extra time but I thought it would be a hassle as the exam was very long anyway.</p>
<p>Your low SAT score pretty much guarantees you won’t get in to those schools. Sorry. Good luck anyway!</p>
<p>Your SAT scores is the only thing that might cause you to get rejected from all three schools and it is not fair since your are not used to standardized testing. I think you still have a chance since you IB scores and extracurricular surpasses the average student. Some Universities can be understanding knowing you are international student, but don’t expect to be giving a major scholarship with those cores.</p>
<p>I heard NYU doesn’t require SAT scores to be submitted. Is this true? Also, does anyone know if it is possible to sit the SAT in January and submit SAT scores after applying?</p>
<p>When I applied last year I had to submit my scores. And yes, you can submit more scores after you apply. Make sure to contact the school first to let them know they are coming.</p>
<p>Here’s what the NYU website says:</p>
<p>To be eligible for admission, applicants are expected to submit results from one of the following testing options:</p>
<p>The SAT Reasoning Test; or
The ACT with Writing Test; or
Three SAT Subject Test scores; or
Three AP exam scores; or
The International Baccalaureate Diploma; or
Three IB higher-level exam scores (if you are not an IB Diploma candidate); or
Results from a nationally accredited exam that is considered locally to signify the completion of secondary education, is administered independently of the student’s school, and has been approved by the NYU Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

<p>So I think I may well be fine without an SAT for that one. The rest I will need to retake for I guess.</p>
