<p>Do you HONESTLY think I’ll be accepted? Thank you so so much!</p>

<p>A 1710 really isn’t a good or competitive score for NYU, man, but that doesn’t mean you can not get in. NYU accepts students every year with lower SAT scores than you, so you shouldn’t give up hope. I would say NYU would be a high reach, so don’t try putting all your eggs in one basket and look at other schools. </p>
