“I got a 1410 SAT, a 3Sep 02 2003Social Work
I got a 1410 SAT, a 3.4 GPA or so, but I had an awesome essay and teacher recommendations. Play on the heartstrings of the admissions committee, and work hard.

“Being rich always helps! Plus, SAT's andAug 21 2003Anthropology
Being rich always helps! Plus, SAT's and grades are very important. NYU always loves an athlete because we have so few.
SAT: 1300 Female

“I had a 3Aug 10 2003Business - Management and Administration
I had a 3.4 GPA and got 1250 on my SAT's. The average SAT is not as high as it says on the page for the school. Good Luck!
SAT: 1250 Male

“I graduated HS in 1996May 17 2003Political Science
I graduated HS in 1996... and from what I can tell its only getting more and more difficult to get into a top school. While its not the option for everyone, I wasn't ready for college right after HS and ended up taking classes at community college. Thats not to say i didn't have the grades (1320 SAT)... I just don't believe college has to be the immediate step out of HS. For all those who complain about how expensive NYU is, in reality its not that much more than any other private school, and the difference isn't really unreasonable considering the schools location, which is really waht you're paying for. If you're budget minded, NYU probably isn't for you. But after 2 years of community college at 3k a year, NYU's tuition is very doable. 4 years... maybe not so much unless the 'rents are doing well these days.
SAT: 1320 Male

“I had over 10 extracurricular activities, high SATs, andMay 06 2003History/Histories (art history/etc.)
I had over 10 extracurricular activities, high SATs, and I spent a great deal of time on the essay. I think the essay is probably most important, as NYU tends to be more about individual behavior, not necessarily just SATs and grades (though these still must be at least decent).
SAT: 1410 Female
