NYU CAS with these SATs?

<p>(Superscored)
CR 570
M 640
W 800
total= 2010 (not superscored= 1960, minus 50 on W section)</p>

<p>French 790
Spanish 640</p>

<p>Applying ED2.
International student, good grades and taking A-levels, lots of ECs and volunteering.
Good essays and recs I think.....</p>

<p>What are my chances? is my CR too low or could my high W score and high French make up for it?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>Can you afford to pay for NYU?</p>

<p>They really don’t offer much financial aid at all, especially for international students.</p>

<p>They may just reject you if your parents don’t have enough money according to the FAFSA, but even if accepted, will the 55k/year be feasible?</p>

<p>Yes thanks, but I know internationals do not get any aid- but I’m asking about my chances please?</p>

<p>I think if you are really a full pay, then you will have a decent shot, especially if the rest of your app is as good as you say it is.</p>

<p>OK thanks!</p>

<p>Also, is it worth retaking for the December SAT to improve my reading? I am already sending 2 sets of scores- will sending 3 look bad?
I mean considering my combined M + CR are 1210 which is low for NYU??</p>

<p>The math/CR is low for NYU and you may want to consider a retake because your SAT IIs are of little use for NYU. You meet NYUs test requirement by one of four different ways (you choose which one to follow), submit: (a) SAT, or (b) ACT, or (c) three SAT subject tests, or (d) three APs. If you choose the three SAT subject tests option, one must be a literature or humanities test, one must be a math or science, and the third can be your choice. You have only two subject tests and none in the two required categories.</p>

<p>800W and 570 as your highest CR is strange.</p>

<p>So I should retake? Will sending 3 sets of scores put me at a disadvantage??</p>

<p>Drusba- I’m not looking to replace the SAT1 with SAT2s but was asking if they could make up for the low CR.</p>

<p>How many times have you taken the SAT? 3 is generally the most one should do. If you’ve taken it twice, then it may be a good idea to take it again and focus hard on reading and math. That math score is also very low for NYU.</p>

<p>I meant that since you do so well on the writing section, it is strange that you do so poorly on the reading section.</p>

<p>I just got December scores of 630 in reading, 660 in math, but down to 640 in writing so will send the other set of scores to show the 800!</p>

<p>how do I look for NYU CAS applying ED2?</p>

<p>please…?</p>

<p>anyone…?</p>

<p>It’s possible you could be LSPed rather than accepted into CAS.<br>
Here’s the program website. </p>

<p>[Liberal</a> Studies: The Core Program](<a href=“http://core.ls.nyu.edu/page/home]Liberal”>http://core.ls.nyu.edu/page/home)</p>

<p>In past years, international students have usually been offered spots for freshman year in LSP in international locations: London, Paris, Florence,and Shanghai). </p>

<p>From your other thread, you have a good shot at all except BC.</p>

<p>I know a guy who got in with a 1700, NYU CAS does not require a lot.</p>

<p>thank-you! i’m rather nervous now… decisions for ED2 are less than 2 weeks away!!</p>
