<p>your SAT Subject scores will be sent in automatically with the reasoning score; you can't stop them from being sent. i think you should increase your SAT score because the subject exams are required for admission. if you've scored that high in mathII and lit, you should be able to score at least a 2000+, imo. just do a little prep work. i'm not sure how fond nyu is of the act nor do i know what a 31 is in terms of its correlation with the SAT.</p>

<p>31=2040
Whoops
yeah i knew you had to send em to NYU, but i just copied and pasted this from my original thread, so i forgot to make that edit</p>

4

<p>exactly. i really think you should take it again. you seem to have the potential to score a 2100 if you prepped well.</p>

5

<p>TAKE SAT IIs. i didn't and this hindered me. your scores aren't low, believe me. i barely reached the 600s</p>

<p>the Cs might hurt you, as NYU is getting competitive. i'd apply for the hell of it since money doesn't seem to be an issue. i keep hearing that colleges like to see improvement so trying won't hurt.</p>

<p>showcase your passion for languages.</p>
