It says does not require SAT if submit SAT 2 scores.
I'm a student from Hong Kong. I have more confidence to score a high score or perfect score on 3 SAT 2 test than SAT I. I'm predicting my SAT I score would only score around 1500, since my first language is Cantonese. Sorry for my bad english, hope I could have some advice from you guys :) thanks</p>

<p>Well here is the thing. Its true that NYU doesnt really require SAT1 if you did something amazing in other areas. Usually people still submit their SAT1s so i would suggest submitting them anyway unless you know that you did something extraordinary that will make you stand out from others. You might want to take the TOEFL and submit that?</p>
<p>How about if i only submit IELTS + 3 SAT 2 scores? TOEFL is not common in Hong Kong here 
Btw, i do not have much ECs. But this coming summer might join NYU ALI program.
Thanks

<p>I think that might work. I think they do go easy on international students especially the ones who have the money to attend the school…</p>
<p>The average SAT score at NYU is something like 1830. If I were you, I would just study and take the SAT I anyway. The fact that English is not your first language can be made clear in your application.</p>
<p>Yes, I think i might just take the IELTS test and SAT 2. Mostly my famoly could afford it without the financial aif from NYU.
I think is submitting SAT 2 scores is better right? Because I want to apply for chemistry in NYU.
Anyway, thanks for helping guys ;)</p>

That doesn’t sound right. How can the average SAT score be 1830 when it says on the NYU website that the middle 50% of the admitted applicants have a score between 1940 and 2230?</p>
<p>Notice the “OR” in the following,</p>

<p>English Language Testing Requirements for Non-Native English Speakers:</p>
<p>Non-native English speaking applicants to our campus in New York are required to submit TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), IELTS (International English Language Testing System), or PTE Academic (Pearsons Test of English Academic) results, which have been issued within the past two years. Read More.
Exemption from English language proficiency testing will be given:
If your native language is English;
If you have been studying in a school or college/university where the language of instruction is English for at least three years AND you submit SAT, ACT, AP, or IB testing; or
If your education has been completed entirely in schools/colleges/universities where the language of instruction is English.
Even if you are exempt from taking the TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE exam, or if you are applying to our campuses in Abu Dhabi and/or Shanghai, you may still submit your scores to demonstrate your English proficiency. You should take one of these examinations regardless of any other test scores you submit to NYU if you do not qualify for an exemption. Your TOEFL/IELTS/PTE Academic score will be used in conjunction with, not in lieu of, other required standardized testing. Please also be aware:
We do not have any minimum test score requirements, but our most competitive applicants score above 100 on the TOEFL Internet-based Test (iBT) and 7.5 or above on the IELTS. Information about the TOEFL may be secured by visiting the TOEFL website and information on the IELTS is available on the IELTS website. The TOEFL code for NYU undergraduate admissions is 2562.
If you want to improve your English language skills prior to applying to an undergraduate program at NYU, you are welcome to investigate the American Language Institute, housed at NYU.
All students will be further tested upon arrival at NYU. If your ability to speak and write in English is not deemed to be of a sufficiently high level to register for academic study, you will have to register for noncredit English courses that will entail additional expense and extend the time normally required to complete your degree.
Non-native English speakers taking a curriculum that is heavily focused on math and science are encouraged to submit English language test results, even if they are exempt from this requirement.
