I think the old thread closed, but I have another really important college question!

So I just took my ACT - if you dont live in the USA you wont know what that is, and I got a 27 out of 36.

My top college is NYU, which last year had an ACT average of 28-31.
Their SAT average is around 1900 or higher, and only 3% got accepted with lower than an 1800.
I've taken two SAT's - one 1710, one 1700, but if I pick my highest score from each - my score is a 1790. I dont think theres any way to tell if NYU will pick the best score from each and its still far off from their average, though if my essay and portfolio are good, I know I still have a chance. But, you think I should submit my ACT instead of my SATS?

Most colleges take the best score from each time you take the SAT. But I don't know NYU's policy...

But based on you not having below a 1800 SAT, I'd go with the ACT.

Sorry to break it to you. But neither of your ACT or SAT scores will qualify you to the University based on bare bone scores. Still try tho and send 3 flawless letter of recommendations....Send your ACT score...or both. They're about the same.

I understand that.

Get a letter of recommendation from 2 teachers...and if you did a community service in a Hospital for example, get one from where you get your hours. That'll make up for your scores....which aren't really that far from the requirements.
