<p>I'm from new york so I have to take the regents in my classes each year. I know that only ny schools look at them...does nyu really look at them? I had an A- in math but I received a C on the regents because I was really sick that day. Do regents' play an important role in admissions?</p>

<p>What are regents?</p>

3

<p>NY state standardized tests. I doubt it makes a difference; the only schools that care are SUNY schools.</p>

4

<p>I would suggest taking it over again. Regents are given in Jan, Aug, and June.</p>

5

<p>regents play no impact in admissions, they "just want to see that you have passed"</p>

<p>iheartny...i dont think you can take them over again unless you fail they're not like sats </p>

<p>okay thanks mattistotle i hope so!</p>

<p>dont worry about the regents only some ny and possibly california high school students take them. I go to Xavier in NYC and we dont have to take regents so as long as you pass the regents and therefore graduate high school they dont matter</p>

<p>Private schools are much different.</p>

<p>NYU specifically says Regents have no bearing on Admissions as long as you pass. its even in FAQ</p>

<p>Yes you can take them over if you wish, especially one's like English which many schools allow their students to take early.</p>

<p>I'm from NY too and a little word of advice about the Math Regents: if you get a C, NYU's not gonna frown upon it. It's one of the lowest scoring ones. I got a 78 on Math B after averaging an 87 in the class and scored between from 91-100 on my 9 other Regents'. Most kids in my grade got below an 85 on the Math B regents, and most now don't even pass the Math A regents...or the Physics regents for that matter. We switched to the County version. I think I'm rambling now.</p>

<p>POINT: A bad Regents grade won't affect your admission or non-admission.</p>
