How important are SAT 2's??? I did bad on both...

<p>Applied Early to CAS
Asian Male
Sibling at stern</p>

<p>3.35 gpa (88.6) weighted - 92.5
SAT 1 Superscored - 2130</p>

<p>SAT 2's
620 u.s. 670 math2</p>

<p>Strong Essays + EC's...</p>

<p>How much will my SAT 2's kill me... I know my GPA is already very low ... But how important are they to admissions</p>

<p>oh geez…well my sat subjects scores …oh and reasoning or lower than urs. unfortunately. but i would LOVE to go to NYU. im also first generation and asian so idk. im sure theyre important but lets hope our other stuff outweighs it! or we’ll get over it in a few days if we dont get in : /</p>

<p>I don’t go to Stern, so I am not positive.
However, everyone I know who goes to Stern (some of my BBFs) are all math people. So, I would imagine, you need very high math scores to compete with them. Especially Asian. However, if you have a very high Writing/CL score they may want you to boost up their lack of creativity.
But, in the same breath, I know NYU takes A LOT into consideration. Your school, rank, extracurriculars, achievements-- what makes you different than the general population. I would have never thought I’d be at NYU now. And look, here I am.</p>

<p>Take the ACT in December. See how that goes. Or, do you have several APs. NYU has SO many different options for standardized test scores now.</p>

<p>my subject tests are ATROCIOUS and I didn’t have time to retake before the ED deadline. I’m not sure what to think. will these ruin me?</p>

<p>540 Math I
620 Lit</p>

<p>xD so horrible!!</p>

<p><em>Update</em> I contacted NYU and they allowed me to send in my november subject tests… my stats for those are now</p>

<p>620 Lit
600 Math II</p>

<p>A little bettter, but ugh, what am I gunna do?</p>

<p>hey what did you say? because i got my nov. SAT I scores and improved 70 points in math but and i already sent them with the free 4 score reports, but i dont know how to tell them…did you call them and ask them to look at it?</p>

<p>please help! thanks!</p>

<p>I did the same. I called admissions, asked them if they already looked over my application, and they told me no. Then they said they’d put a special note on mine to not be reviewed until my sat 2’s came in… but now that I got my scores… its gonna count against me</p>

<p>Regarding standardized testing, I’m in the opposite boat. </p>

<p>-SAT1 - 1860, 650 V, 580 M, 630 W
-SAT2, U.S History - 760
-SAT2, Spanish w/out listening - expected 770-800 this Saturday. Native speaker; haven’t taken any kind of Spanish course since 5th grade. </p>

<p>I’m also sending in the 5 on AP U.S History I got last year. </p>

<p>Blah if only my SAT1’s were better. They’re more important.</p>

<p>well my gpa is very low for cas… so I really have 2 things counting against me</p>
