<p>Since it is so large, NYU has a reputation for putting heavy weight on test scores. With your current scores, there is no doubt that it is a reach. 2000 and or a 30 would put you into a match range. I don’t doubt that you will try, but such large jumps on either test probably won’t happen.</p>

<p>you are in. just need 1800 sat… 27, 28 act</p>

<p>Quite frankly, everyone else here is correct when they say that the test scores mean A LOT for NYU. Your GPA and URM hooks make it a safety, but your test scores make it an uber reach, so I’m going to go ahead and say… LOW REACH. </p>

<p>I wouldn’t be satisfied with the profile for NYU admission, either; I’m just merely saying that at your current state you’re a low reach. Don’t bother with the ACT- it looks like you do WAY better on the SAT. Attempt to get at least 600 on each section, and if you do, it becomes a match.</p>
