<p>Nyu is a reach because of your sat scores
Fordham I say you have 80% addmission!</p>
<p>I think that rmui6768 is somewhat right. However, I have a few friends who got into NYU with a similar sat score.</p>
<p>Yild it might be because they scored high on CR and MATH NYU tends to look at ****/1600 with more weight than 2400 scale!</p>
<p>so NYCgirl if you have 1300+ out of your 1900 being math and cr Id say NYU would become a low match rather than a reach!</p>
<p>NYU: High match (unless your SAT score is skewed towards math and CR)
Fordham: Low match</p>
<p>I’d say Fordham is a match for you, although NYU is a low reach. If you haven’t already submitted your application, I suggest you spend extra time writing stellar essays and getting exceptional recommendations… those may help cushion your lowish SAT score. Best of luck on your college journey!</p>

<p>If your high school has Naviance or other such program, take a look as to how students with your profile fared with NYU. At my son’s school, you would not have a good chance at NYU unless your Math and CR scores are much higher than your CR. I saw their clusters of “accepts” to NYU with grades like yours, and higher test scores than a 1300 for the two part SAT 1 were needed. If you have some other hook, such as being a recruited athlete, URM status, First generation ,geographics (which your name seems to exclude), your chances would be better.</p>
<p>You are match for Fordham. But females have it a bit tougher so it is not a shoo in. I was surprised at some of the kids not accepted there the year before last.</p>
<p>Thank you all for replying! To answer your questions, my math SAT score is awful. The breakdown is 670W, 580M, 660CR. I was wondering if I plan to major in journalism/english, will they weigh my math SAT as heavily?</p>
