<p>@Zuzenek ================================================
I said about Harvard because you mentioned your friends, like making your words seem more true. =)</p>
<h1>Who said that intellegent people cannot get lower 1800? (had no time to prepare, didnt know the format, was not lucky) Stupid cannot get high score! </h1>
<p>(I was not offended, but your post, starting with OMG, made me want to say something)</p>

<p>don’t ask not to answer you.</p>

<p>When justifying one’s intelligence, the abilities of memory and logic way of thinking are the key factors to be considered. Do some IQ tests and then u gonna feel it. =D</p>
<p>quote: intelligence is a person’s capacity to (1) acquire knowledge (i.e. learn and understand), (2) apply knowledge (solve problems), and (3) engage in abstract reasoning.</p>
<ul>
<li>(3) covers the processes of (1) and (2)</li>
</ul>
<p>SAT test is a REASONING test. And the ability of abstract reasoning is considered in measuring intelligence. Modus Ponens, to a large extent, SAT test measures one’s intelligence.</p>
<p>and for christ’s sake, are u gonna say that a person who scores 1500 for SAT is an intelligent person ? LMAO. No offense.</p>
<p>BTW, if u wanna cheat in TOEFL tests, that’s a piece of cake. and the last time I took the test, the guy sat behind me stole my notes for the speaking part. That’s it.</p>
<p>wow!..this thread has reached all the way to Harvard! 
(<strong>looks in search for something</strong>…NYUAD, where are you?..I am so lonely without you!)</p>
<p>@ silkysilky</p>
<p>to be honest, if u r offered admission to harvard with full aid, then, r u gonna attend NYUAD even with full aid? so that’s why we r talking abt harvard. XD Just kidding.</p>
<p>*I am not intending to say anything which is unharmonious.</p>
<p>@Reconquista: u r such a great philosopher! (kidding)</p>
<p>For me, SAT is just a test checked using OMR technology, nuff said! -_- Intelligence cannot be defined even by SAT or any other test, since tests can only GIVE a sense of intelligence or literary ability of a person, but not actual intelligence. So that’s the reason, I just give my tests and stop bothering about them :P</p>
<p>@Murtaza: No one ever BOTHERS for the ‘test’ itself!..what BOTHERS everyone is whether they’d get into their dream schools or not…and hence, they have to BOTHER for their results, too!(and not for the test itself!)</p>
<p>In short: There is hardly anyone who appears for such tests for the sake of measuring their intelligence* or literary ability*…its for the sake of gaining admittance to a COLLEGE!</p>
<p>All I wish to convey is that, you r not the only one who doesn’t BOTHER for the tests! So, whats the point in even discussing about this? After all, we all NEED these tests, regardless of whether they are of some great USE(on a personal level, of course) to us or not!..whts the use of cursing them, anyways?</p>
<p>@silkysilky23 — I never even started the discussion on tests, you did! I just gave in my opinion since everyone else gave theirs.</p>
<p>umm…it was just in general, actually…n I just objected to your opinion a bit…thts it…sry 
…(like more of a debate)</p>
<p>(P.S.: the discussion on whether SAT tests our intelligence or not was not started by me)</p>
<p>@NewYorkUAD
Yes, I have mentioned them to make my point stronger and I dont see anything wrong/funny in it. My words are true anyway </p>
<p>I am not going to write the TOEFL, bcs it is horribly expensive. Actually applying to US unis is horribly expensive (SAT (and study guides?), SAT subjects, sending results, sometimes TOEFL, waivers, CSS profile…)</p>
<p>@zuzenek === OMG! (I also use that expression not frequently), you are like a child! =)</p>
<p>@ zuzenek.</p>
<p>well, lets suppose that now u invest k*10 USD in the process of college application (sat tests, css etc). but later u got admitted to some top schools in usa, then u graduated…nd found a nice job. so ur investment will finally go back to ur pocket with the profits doubled.</p>
<p>do not count that much on money. or u will regret. that’s what i once experienced.
do not let ur chance slip away from ur hand just because u try to grasp money.</p>
<p>Well, I would liket to invest them, but I dont have them…</p>
<p>@NewYorkUAD
Sorry, you have prl said so earlier, but are you going to NYUAD?
Child? Fair enough:P</p>
<p>I didn’t take SATs and I don;t plan on taking them. I just got back from the November candidate weekend. </p>
<p>SAT’s are less important than you think :P</p>
<p>NYUADteehee, congrats on making it to the CW ) where are you from?)</p>
<p>“About TOEFL scores, NYUAD says you may submit them but they’re not required.”</p>
<p>Somewhere on the nyuad site I’ve read that TOEFL ibt/IELTS are required of international students. The same is true for every US university site i’ve visited. </p>
<p>My SATs are not brilliant, so now i’m not sure whether to submit them or not, considering the fact that bad scores may hurt my chances… sooo… what do you guys think i should do?</p>
<p>@Dzhannet: I too am worried for the same reason!..well, my results of the Dec SAT are not out yet, but, I am sure I won’t be close to the SAT average of NYUAD which is somewhere around 2250! But, yes, for the class of 2014, NYUAD did choose some students with SAT scores of -2000, too!..though, I believe, they’d raise their bar this time! :(</p>
<p>But, anyways, if you have no other option, such as A levels or IB, then I think you must submit your SAT scores and leave the rest to the Almighty!..u never know…NYUAD might just be impressed with some other aspect of your app and simply accept you!..and yeh, I quite agree with NYUADteehee because I know of a guy who scored straight 800’s on his SAT subject tests and yet did not get an invitation for a CW!</p>
<p>@Dzhannet – SAT is a good measure of English so if your SAT score on English sections was a bit poor, you can submit the TOEFL as well if you’ve taken it. Else any exam showing your English skill, be it a local one, can also show the proficiency. And yh, on a safer side, AP/IB/A-Levels in English would be most welcome.</p>
<p>@NYUADteehee</p>
<p>can u plz elaborate on what they asked you to write on for “reflective writing” and what the faculty asked you specifically? Did you get the feeling that they have already worked on who to take & who to reject?
thanx in advance</p>
