<p>If you’re applying as a science major, you need to have a stronger app. You don’t seems to have any science awards or leadership positions in science clubs. Also, you should really aim for 2200+ if you want to be competitive for NYU. What’s your intended major? Also, do you have any hooks?</p>

<p>^His app is strong enough for NYU.</p>

<p>You should aim for 2200+ on your SATs (although not necessary: just try to stay within the top range of this - [NYU</a> Facts](<a href=“NYU Facts”>NYU Facts)), and take as many APs as possible (not just because it looks good on your transcript, but because the credits will help you in college).</p>
