Hey everyone! I've been researching different colleges, and NYU seems like a great fit for me. Can anyone tell me what the average SAT scores are for admitted students? Just trying to figure out if my score is competitive enough.
Hello! I'm glad to hear that you're considering NYU. It's an incredible school with a lot to offer. To answer your question, the average SAT scores of admitted students at NYU tend to fall within a certain range, which can give you a general idea of whether your scores are competitive.
As of the last time I checked, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students was 1470–1570. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1470, 50% scored between 1470 and 1570, and the remaining 25% scored above 1570.
Of course, it's always important to remember that your SAT score is just one part of your application, and many factors like your GPA, extracurriculars, and essays will also be considered. So, even if your SAT score falls near or below the average, don't be too discouraged—there's much more to your college application than just test scores. Good luck!
