<p>and i mean really suck....</p>
<p>like high 500's and low 600's suck</p>
<p>will i be rejected?</p>
<p>not necessarily.</p>
<p>lol i forgot to take them and got a likely letter</p>
<p>Mine weren’t amazing…like 7something span, high 6something lit, and 560 Bio!!! But i got into NYU w/ a likely letter and waitlisted at places like Northwestern and WashU…test scores (esp. subject tests) aren’t everything. As long as you take a tough course load, have a good gpa, solid EC’s, and write creative essays you have as good a shot as the people w/ high SAT II scores. Good luck, and maybe you could try taking them again…</p>
<p>Hey my scores were high 500’s and semi 600’s and I got a likely letter. Honestly, I think that the scores are a factor, but other aspects will really overshadow that part of your application. Good luck!</p>
<p>really? i am also asian and had 2 C grades and 4 B grades during my junior year. Everything else on my transcript is an A. I am ranked 9/997 and I haven’t heard anything back from NYU. Should I be afraid?</p>
<p>SAT: 1970
ACT:28</p>
<p>my friends with worse sats and grades have gotten likely letters…but they’re hispanic</p>
<p>yes. be afraid. be verrry afraid.</p>
<p>but seriously, to the OP, I got bad SAT II’s as well (like as bad as yours) and I was accepted. </p>
<p>And to mh, there is nothing you can do about it now! good luck!</p>
<p>Mine pretty much sucked too. One was a 570, another was a 580. But my Math was 700…and I still got accepted. :)</p>
<p>Mine sucked too. But I got LSP. :D</p>
<p>i was rejected ED with those subject test scores.</p>
<p>690 lit, 690 math 1, 720 math2. Into nyu and wash u</p>
<p>subject tests arent a big deal. </p>
<p>write an amazing essay</p>
<p>focus on the regular sat</p>
<p>Agh. My SAT and SAT II scores are sky high, 2300’s and SAT II’s 790’s, but my gpa sucks. And I haven’t gotten into anywhere great yet. Only waitlists.</p>
<p>So yeah, concentrate on a rigorous course load, and try to get A’s in them. Test scores you have second chances to improve upon. GPA isn’t the case.</p>
<p>like i said, i didn’t take my subject tests, but i also got a 2300. i have extensive experience on the debate team with success, so im thinking that helped. likewise, my gpa isnt so great, however they show a clear upwards trend. screwing around underclassmen years put me at ~80/780 but i climbed up to 31 in the course of 1.5 years. Got vandy, nyu, and usc… waiting on a deferred to RD decision from stanford.
no school looks at one individual part of the application, so i wouldnt stress it too much.</p>
<p>They look at the overall package. Subject test scores are a small factor of that.</p>
<p>NYU doesn’t really put that much weight on them, if overall you’re still a very strong applicant you’ll probably still get in even without the SAT IIs. Or if you have a lot of money. lol they don’t even require SAT IIs for Tisch and some Steinhardt majors!</p>
