CHANCE to get into Tisch school!!!!

Hi. I’m trying to get into NYU Tisch School (Film major) and Cal Arts, and I am wondering if the SAT score and GPA matter…
My UW GPA: about 3.5
W GPA: about 3.9
SAT score: 1970
SAT 2 subject math: 750
SAT 2 subject chemistry: i am going to take it this weekend.

and is it true that I dont have to take SAT 2 subject tests at all? I am just making sure even though it says in NYU website

I am preparing my portfolio right now + I am international student from Asia (if that makes any difference)

Do you think I can get into this school?

Yes, you don’t need SAT 2 tests for NYU, but I would send them because you have good scores (and it shows range). Although the most important part of your Tisch application will be your portfolio, they definitely will look at your GPA and test scores as well, and yours are kinda below average for NYU. I would work really hard on the essays and the portfolio in order to make up for the objective part. But I guess that if you have good rec letters and you took challenging courses in high school, that should make up for your GPA. In a whole, I think it might be likely! Are you applying ED, ED2, or RD? Good luck!

I’m planning to apply for ED2!! Would it be good for me to apply as a early

I’m applying ED2 as well! I think it will definitely boost your chances, especially if you can afford full tuition! Lets hope for the best then! :slight_smile:

yes yes!!! Best Luck for us :slight_smile: Thank you for hopeful comment!!
