For the SAT's, could someone tell me what NYU tends to look at? I haven't taken it yet.</p>

<p>I know my grades are not great, but combined with everything else, do I have a shot? My recommendations will be very good, and I am planning on writing I very nice College Essay. If I still do not have a chance, what are some recommendations for getting into NYU, or in other words, what should I improve on as of now (Half-way through Junior Year)?</p>

<p>Depends on your SAT score. If you get over a 2100 you should be a match for CAS. Any lower and it’s a reach, unless you’re looking into Gallatin or Steinhardt</p>

<p>your grades are very low… You’re unweighed average for all of your classes would have to be a 91-93ish with a 2000 SAT score, 650+ SAT 2’s to be a match for CAS. I only had 1 C in high school and a 2130 sat score to get in ED</p>
