<p>I'm applying to NYU stern and would like some advice:
I scored a 1960 on my first SAT (610M, 600R, 750W) and 2090 on my second (730M, 720R, 640 W). My dilemma is since NYU superscores, I was thinking of sending both so that my superscore is 2200, however, my M&R for the first test is pretty embarrassing and even though NYU superscores I'm afraid that they'll see the low M&R and that will negatively effect my chances.</p>
<p>So should I send both and risk the negative effect or just send my 2090?</p>
<p>It’s ridiculous to look at it in that way. You improved from your previous SAT, even though you went down in the W section. One of my friends who applied last year was in the same dilemma, but both of his scores were lower than your first SAT; he was still accepted. SAT is a huge factor in determining acceptance, but it isn’t everything. Show strength in other areas and your first SAT score won’t hold you back. </p>
<p>Also, I don’t think colleges really look at the W section, your CR+M is what truly matters. It’s a great score, so don’t stress it.</p>
<p>I’d send both of them.</p>
