<p>What school within NYU?</p>

3

<p>Do you mind telling us what your SATs are, even if you don’t think they’re great?</p>

4

<p>oh, well, im applying as an International Relations student if that is what you’re asking. As for the SAT’s, they are a 1090 math and english…</p>

5

<p>That means you applied to CAS. You said you’re a senior, have you applied or are taking a year off or going to community college?</p>

<p>Do you have any other form of standardized testing, such as AP exams, SAT II’s, ACT’s?</p>

6

<p>SAT is low, mine is 1370, and I’m still not confident of admission. Try to do your best on your next SAT.</p>

7

<p>To ohboi, I’m a senior and I’ve applied to the school. I’ve applied to other schools as well, I’ve been accepted into Rutgers, Manhattan College, Marymount Manhattan, Iona and City College of New York</p>

8

<p>I’m at the top 20% percentile of my class and (I’ve included) that I have taken various AP courses.</p>

9

<p>1090… how is that even possible with your clubs and stuff</p>

10

<p>the test itself is almost not a point of concern more recently with some schools… i’d just like to know if someone could tell me my chances of getting in!</p>

<p>I think CAS is a low match for you. Your GPA and SAT is below average, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a reach, especially with your EC’s. I hope you had a great essays.</p>
