<p>heeeey, so i'm applying RD to NYU CAS and i have some questions for you guys about SAT vs. ACT scores.</p>

<p>my power SAT score is a 2080,
Math: 700
Writing: 710
Reading: 670
(i know, my reading completely and utterly killed me =[)
however, my ACT is a 33,
and i have a 36 in english, 34 math, 34 reading, 31 science
(from three diff. takings, but i have a total composite score of 33, power score = 34!)</p>

<p>what do you recommend i send in? will my SAT scores hurt me?
because according to average statistics i am on the middle/high-ish mid 50% of SAT scores, but above the high mid 50% of ACT scores. (av = 28-31, or something like that)<br>
i have a ton of ECs which really tell a lot about me as a person and show my dedication and interests. for specifics, see link!
i go to an extremely competitive high school with a very hard curriculum (all honors + APs over four years...) and an ~91 GPA. no class rank, school too competitive.
i also have a unique family situation and medical history.
hoping my essay is good, but not the best i have written =\ not a big fan of the topic hah, but it definately tells the reader a lot about me as a person not obvious necessarily from grades, ECs, scores, etc.</p>

<p>ALSO: SUBJECT TESTS!!
Math I: 730
Math II: 710
Literature: 700
**i am only sending two, which ones? should i not send level 2 math? it is a horrid percentile, and will that hurt my chances?</p>

<p>I would send the ACT scores if I were you.</p>

3

<p>I agree. I was in a very similar situation: SAT 2050 and ACT 32 (both one sitting). My counselor recommended only to submit the ACT. It won’t hurt!</p>

4

<p>Yeah, both of your ACT scores are noticeably better than you SATs.</p>

5

<p>DEFINITELY the act. i have a 36 on the act… aaand a 2040 on the sat. lol. i just suck at taking the sat, and i’ve accepted that. (: i had to take the sat again though to see if i could raise it enough… damn national merit… but yeah, send in those act scores giiirl!</p>

6

<p>okay, only ACTs won’t hurt right!?
and what about SAT Subject Tests?! =) thankkkkkkks!</p>

7

<p>Math I and Literature.</p>

<p>Your Math II is too low.</p>

8

<p>does anyone know if i send ACTs to NYU if i also have to send SATSubjects?</p>

9

<p>You are not required to send the SAT II scores if you send the ACT score.</p>

10

<p>You should send them your AP exam scores, too, if you have any 5’s.</p>

11

<p>no AP scores to send =[ do you suggest sending the SAT IIs with ACTs? or just ACTs?</p>

12

<p>Only send the SAT II’s with your ACT’s if you think they will help. For CAS, I personally don’t think sending any of your scores will hurt. Though, I would suggest just sending the ACT because a 33 is more than enough to get you into CAS; it’s good enough to give you a decent shot at Stern.</p>

13

<p>if youre going to send a math, send in math II (most schools dont even accept math I) :)</p>

14

<p>i’m applying to CAS, so you really think i have a shot along with my ECs, GPA, etc.?</p>

15

<p>In my post I meant only send the SAT II’s if you think they will help. Definitely send your ACT.</p>

16

<p>okay, i think i am only sending my ACTs in. since they are above the mid-50% range, i’m hoping that is good along with my ECs, essay, short answers, GPA, etc. =)</p>

17

<p>i’m just having trouble with that darn poem!!! =|</p>

18

<p>Ugh, I know. I actually haven’t written any of the personal statement yet. Uh oh.</p>
