<p>Good chances! Although you’re international, which makes everything more difficult to predict.</p>

3

<p>international students are not eligible for financial aid anyway, so not applying for aid doesn’t help you.</p>

4

<p>^wow I just realized that… Has the policy always been that way?</p>

5

<p>I agree, you have good chances.</p>

6

<p>

</p>

<p>The policy has always been that way, BUT it might help you because NYU loves full pay customers.</p>

7

<p>it makes sense, in a way. a lot of time, NYU will supplement your financial aid with government loans. . .loans that international students are not eligible for because they are not US citizens. </p>

<p>you may qualify for scholarships in NZ that you can apply to NYU, though.</p>

<p>ahh it’s okay, luckily I wont be needing financial aid.
But I am still INCREDIBLY nervous, because I looked at the NYU fall 09 statistics…</p>

<h1>SAT Critical Reading Score Range (middle 50%): 630 - 730</h1>

<h1>SAT Math Score Range (middle 50%): 650 - 750</h1>

<p><em>faintdiefaint</em> those are really high middle range scores. 25% of the people score over 730 CR and 750 maths… holy crap.</p>

9

<p>that includes all of the schools, from Stern to CAS to Gallatin to SCPS to Social Work. </p>

<p>also, i wouldn’t take the SAT II in Chinese if you’re Asian. if you’re Chinese, an 800 won’t be that exciting.</p>

<p>Alright, I’m sorry to bump such an old thread back up… But I am freaking out here. I need another chance just for some comfort. Be as harsh as you want… I just need to hear something!!</p>

<p>Btw sat scores come out in 10 days. Judging from practice tests, the lowest I will get on the sat is 2000… I am hoping for a 2100 or above! Does this help my chances a lot more?</p>
