NYU Stern Standardized Testing

<p>Hi, I am a Canadian student taking the IB Diploma Program (full IB) at my high school. I was reading over the NYU standardized exam policy, Standardized</a> Tests</p>

<p>It stated that:
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>Anyone? Thanks</p>

<p>There is no cutoff specified for IBDP at NYU. The UK universities do have specific cutoffs and therefore they offer provisional admissions only.</p>

<p>Having said that, in my opinion you should have strong scores in Math,English and whichever related business subject you have taken. 6 in your HLs in grade 11 will definitely help you.</p>

<p>Also my D is a Stern freshman and an International student. She was an IBDP student as well. She submitted only 3 SAT Subjects scores- Math 2, Bio and English. The scores were a clear reflection of her strength in Math and English. Of course the Bio scores were above 700 as well.</p>

<p>The SAT and Subject SAT help you get your application filtered in the first look. I say this because when one applies for colleges in US that is the standard cutoff criteria along with the Grades. So will make things easier to evaluate at first glance.</p>

<p>I think my IB prediction including bonuses will be around 40-42/45 respectively.<br>
I will be getting them soon but I had early predictions in grade 11 to see where my standing was:
English may be around a 5-6. (My weakest)
Business and Management HL - 7
I am almost guaranteed of getting a 7 predicted for Math SL. Is it okay that I took Math SL instead of HL?</p>

<p>However, the only state university I want to apply for is ED NYU Stern, and I do not think I will be submitting my SAT scores/subject. NYU claims IBDP predicteds are enough and will be considered equally to everything else, but I wanted to confirm in this forum if this was true.</p>

<p>Yes, it is true. The IB grades will be adequate</p>
