<p>@Colleges: That makes so much sense. Thanks. I will now start thinking of other options. But Im miserably confused. Some people tell me to aim for the top. While other, like you rightfully did, told me that the top doesn’t matter. You make perfect sense since what you said is true. But aiming for the top never hurt anyone…Im so lost.</p>
<p>Actually it was just a matter of me not studying. I took the SAT in June, and to be honest, I didn’t have much time to study since I was too busy studying for AP Chem and AP US History 
…that I admit was my fault. But no grades at my school are not inflated. It’s actually a very competitive high school that you take an exam to get into (Its in the US’s top 100 High Schools)</p>
<p>@Apumic: Well, you see, I took the ACT as an extra lol. I didn’t take it very seriously, I really am the SAT type of person, not the ACT one…and not many students in NY take the ACT. But I guess I could retake it again. And BTW NYU is a top Uni. and it’s average ACT score according to CollegeBoard was a 27.</p>
