<p>Sorry, I posted this on the NYU site but the traffic seems pretty low there, didn't get a lot of comments. Just would like some insights and tips. Thanks!</p>

<p>I am a Canadian student applying for NYU Stern ED. I read up on the NYU website that they now changed their flexibility on standardized exams.
I am taking the IB Diploma Program (full IB) at my high school, and according to the NYU standardized exam website, it stated that: </p>

<p>NYU has one of the most flexible testing policies of any college or university. </p>

<p>To be eligible for admission, applicants to NYU's New York and Abu Dhabi campuses are expected to submit results from one of the following testing options:</p>

<p>The SAT Reasoning Test; or
The ACT (with Writing Test); or
Three SAT Subject Test scores; or
Three AP exam scores; or
Three IB higher level exam scores; or
Students may instead elect to submit results from a nationally accredited exam that is considered locally to signify the completion of secondary education and is administered independently of the student's school.
Examples include but are not limited to:</p>

<p>International Baccalaureate Diploma; or
GCE Advanced Level Examinations (AS-level and GCSE/O-level examination results should also be submitted if available); or
European Abitur, Baccalaur</p>

<p>Hi Cliff,
First of all, I recently had a chat with one of the Admissions Officer from NYU and she said that with IB Predicted Scores, they want 1 from the Humanities, 1 from the Math/Sciences and 1 of Anything. However, these 3 predicted scores have to all be in HL. Otherwise, you can’t use those to replace your Standardize Tests.</p>

<p>Hope that helps!

<p>Hey Dark,</p>

<p>You are right about that as I emailed a lady who said the exact same thing. However, I just received an email notification from Bobbe Fernando, international outreach director of NYU, and he told me that if I am taking the full IB Diploma and plan to submit a full set of predicted results for all 6 subjects, NYU does not have specific subject requirements for the HL subjects. This was a good stress reliever as I thought I did not even meet the pre-req for NYU Standardized Exams.</p>

<p>Hey Cliff,</p>

<p>Then that’s good!. I just sent in my ED1 application yesterday and I am waiting for their e-mail confirmation. I just hope they will send it quickly as they downloaded my application already. Best of luck with applying and I hope you get into your top choice university!</p>

<p>Cheers
