Let me just say your ECs are amazing! It sounds like you’re making such a positive impact in your community and the lives of others so congrats on that! You also show a lot of leadership which schools will love to see. Your GPA is flawless, but that SAT score is very low for NYU. As an international you’ll face more competition for fewer spots. Do you need financial aid? Not sure if NYU is need blind or need aware but if they’re need aware and you need financial aid that won’t help you. Overall your SAT will probably end up hurting you too much, but if anyone has the ECs to offset a low score it’s you. Best of luck!

Thank you! I really hope to have an impact someday. I don’t precisely think I need financial aid since my country has numerous scholarship programs. I’m from Saudi Arabia, though I’m not sure if being from here helps/ hurts me… Again thank you and I really hope they overlook my score!
