<p>You have a lot going for you! But I think that you should focus more on schools that care less about the SATs because they are your weak point and NYU doesn't like low SATs</p>

3

<p>aw really?
oh dang, oh well its not my number 1 really, so its okay</p>

4

<p>your SAT's are not weak, unless you are applying to stern. i got in with a much less SAT total</p>

5

<p>well i wanna go for pre-med and im really not familiar with nyu, beacuse i dont hear about it much...is that stern, well isnt stern business?</p>

<p>re:nikkigirl12
your sat score is awesome. with your ec's you should get into nyu with no problem at all. trust me, i met people who scored lowered that 1100/1600 and still got accepted to nyu.</p>

<p>wing, you got into Tisch in a talent based program, no?</p>

<p>cool nyu - there are NOT a lot of people at NYU with 1100 SATs. You're just mad about something and puttiing NYU down whenever you can. deal.</p>

<p>Nikki - You are a great candidate. what I meant was - you can probably go to a lot of great schools (even better than NYU) that are less focused on the tests. I just saw a lot of people with great stats and around 1350 SATs getting GSPd this year. </p>

<p>take the test again in the fall.</p>

<p>Just to make things clear, I got into Tisch and they rely less heavily on scores than the other schools, but it is still a huge factor. I thought that my low SAT scores would prevent we from being a accepted, but they also look at EC's and your course load as well. And of course artistic ability for tisch kids.</p>

9

<p>^^oh yeah, your SAT scores are not bad at all!!</p>

10

<p>You have a great chance, a 1370 SAT would not keep you out of nyu.</p>

11

<p>I would say strengthen your SAT Is. Other than that, I'd be surprised if you didn't at least get GSP.</p>

12

<p>i don't think your SAT scores are that bad. however, try taking it again. It will only help. i think you can get in, especially since you're applying to CAS, not Stern (but i'm not even a freshman yet, so my word doesn't actually count). anyway, take the SAT again and rock it! That'll definitely increase your chances. </p>

<p>btw, your EC's and community service are woaw! great! i wish i had done that much! lol</p>

<p>Nikki didhi..</p>

<p>your stats are great.. WAYY Better than mine. I assume you will be applying to the college of ARts and Sciences cause your pre med. I just recieved admission this year into Arts and Science @ NYU with a scholarship, and my parents are well off indians. The only thing you should be worrying about how much more money of scholarship you will recieve. I'll see you there next year!</p>

<p>collegecheck-
i wasn't mad and i do know people who got in with just 1100 on the sat. also consider the amount of people who are in the heop and c-step programs. get your facts straight before judging other users on cc. cyber bullying is not cool =)</p>
