I am a bit new to this, let me know if theres anything i should know. Thank you!

I am a high school senior currently going through a dilemma. I have extremely low SATsuperscore of 1780, along with the test I took this october. I am super depressed because I studied a lot over the summer. My test anxiety and performance are just… I have a weighted cumulative average of 98.01, which I think is about a 3.8 GPA on my transcript. My extracurriculars are also stellar as in I have contributed a lot and being deeply involved. I am interested in NYU stern and other colleges. But my SAT score brings down my hopes a lot.

Please let me know, and please answer with reference and not answer randomly.Thank you!

Could you give some more information? In particular, are you an international? Are you giving the SAT II? What’s your HS workload like?

I am not international, Im in NY. I took the SAT II and scored fairly low on those as well. I think there s a trend with low standardized test scores. I got around mid 600s. I took 3 AP classes and currently taking 4. Im struggling whether I should apply to NYU Stern ED

You should always apply because you have nothing to lose. However, I’d recommend that you don’t send your SAT to NYU. I’m fairly certain that Stern is a SAT-optional (could be wrong on this) school.

Thank you! I think Stern takes test scores super seriously though.
