<p>Looks like you have a pretty good shot, especially since relevant/prestigious ECs! Are you applying ED to NYU?</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>i really want to, but i still have to take 2 more sat iis, and probably sats again. will it give me a significantly better chance to apply ed?</p>

<p>Um I would say yes, it would give you a better chance if you apply ED. If you have competitive stats (and it looks like you do), you have a chance of getting deferred into their RD pool. </p>

<p>Then again, you should only apply ED if you're ABSOLUTELY sure you want NYU since it's binding. You can use the Oct test date to knock off those two SAT IIs then apply in time for the Nov deadline. Your SAT I/ACT is already in the range of acceptance. But haha, it's your call in the end!</p>
