<p>So, last year as a senior I applied to NYU undecided and was rejected. I feel as though I did the application wrong because I was so nonspecific. Now that I've researched it, I really would love to go into Gallatin's writing and/or arts program, because I love how it's geared towards individualized study. Anyway, my HS GPA was 3.6 and my SAT score was 1720. I didn't take the ACT, but I took two SAT Subject Tests. If I do really well at the college I will be attending in the fall, and I take this more specific approach and tell them exactly what I intend to study if I am accepted, do you think I'll be able to get in? I know my SAT score is a bit low, so if that is what is hindering me, should I consider retaking it?</p>
