<p>can someone please give me a realistic range of sat scores for cas</p>
<p>The lower your GPA, the higher your SAT needs to be, so a number by itself is useless, but the average SAT score is 1410ish (2 years ago? not sure current figure, but i assume its about the same). You generally need to be in atleast the 1300's to get GSP'ed unless you have sports or something special going for you.</p>
<p>The median for CAS was 1350-1450, which means some scored less, some scored more, so it just shows SAT are only a small portion of admission.</p>
<p>What are you talking about? Aside from GPA, SAT is BY FAR the most important thing on your Resume. The reason college spill out all the "well-rounded crap" is because having a points based system gives negative PR (as would saying you only care about SAT and GPA). But every figure ever shown shows that every competitive college values SAT's immensely .</p>
<p>GPA>SAT
I think that's one of NYU's formulas</p>
<p>You take NYU way too seriously dude...NYU CAS isn't THAT hard to get into, plenty of people get in with bogus scores and it's all a crapshoot. At least 1300s to get GSPed? I have friends now in CAS who scored that much and got pretty good scholarships...SAT doesn't mean everything, what matters is the entire package. Get off the NYU high horse because in reality NYU isn't that difficult to get into for people with great hooks or have URM status.</p>
<p>Not everyone is fortunate to have a great hook or a URM status. For those of who need to rely on our GPA and SATs, it's a big deal to know what the range is and try to beat it out to look favorable to admissions officers.</p>
<p>gEEe, you're being disrespectful. If you feel that negatively about nyu then don't apply and take you're superiority complex to another college's forum.</p>
<p>Oh, and I got in ED to CAS with a 1370, it's on the lower end but it's still within the middle range.</p>
<p>I got flat out rejected after applying to CAS Early Decision.
I had a 1480/1600.
I guess that wasn't enough...</p>
<p>What was your gpa/other stufF?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The thing is, they probably got scholarships for special reasons, not due to GPAs or SATs. For regular people, the 1350-1450 as 25%-75% percentile SATs range for CAS sounds about right.</p>

<p>My guess is that mrfrizzle was rejected either because his GPA put him significantly outside the top 10% of his class, or there was some big red flag in his application (like B's on the majority of his IB classes). It seems that most very selective schools today want unhooked applicants to take the toughest classes AND ace them, i.e., they certainly consider difficulty of schedule in their decisions, but they judge you in the context of your school based on unweighted GPA. mrfrizzle stated that his weighted GPA is 3.6, unweighted is "considerably lower". If there is one thing that admissions officers at all schools I visited claimed is that they would rather see a high GPA/class rank and lower SATs than the other way around, because the latter usually indicates a bright kid who simply does not want to put in the work.</p>
