NYU has been a dream of mine since I was 13 and first set eyes on the city and it. (Likely story.)

If ACT isn’t working out, I’d suggest taking the SAT. Besides that score, you are a fairly competitive applicant. Study hard and prepare this summer for the fall. Also, will you be taking any AP exams this year? If you have a total of 3, you can submit them in place of ACT scores without being penalized! NYU is test flexible

Yes, I am taking the AP English Language and Composition exam on May 10

@dreamingnyu That only puts you at two, correct? If so, I’d recommend SAT subject tests (if you can afford it), they are typically easier than AP Exams (imo) and you can take them and see your scores before you need to submit them and your application. Look into them and into the Flexible policy NYU has; find what choice is best for you!
