NYU and SAT score requirement?

Hello everyone! I'm working towards taking the SAT and I'm aiming to apply to NYU. I've looked it up but I'm still a little confused about what kind of SAT score they typically prefer. Any NYU applicants or students - could you kindly share your thoughts? Thanks!

For the 2024-2025 application cycle, New York University (NYU) is still test-optional. This means that you can decide whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores with your application. If you think your scores accurately reflect your academic abilities, you can choose to submit them.

However, if you're interested in what scores admitted students typically have, before the test-optional policy was implemented, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students was from around 1470 to 1570 out of 1600. This range is an estimate based on recent data, so it's essential to remember that scores below this range are not automatically disqualified, and scores above this range do not guarantee admission.

NYU takes a holistic approach to applications, reviewing each part of your application and considering your academic performance, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation, all alongside any test scores you choose to submit. Good luck with your preparations and application process!
