Did any of you guys retake your SATs?

Tomeu11

if you read past threads you'll see that NYU recommended not to retake the SATs during your college period.

Hey everyone. I applied pretty early to NYU and beat the Sandy confusion. My application components have long been checked off. Got an e-mail last Thursday asking for my mid-term grades. My admissions counselor got back to me super quickly. Impatiently waiting! Hopefully decisions come earlier as I already have heard from one of my schools! Good luck!

supercolosall

Where'd you hear from? Also where you from in Mass.? I'm from Newton!

Tomeu11

Damn, lucky you. I don't know if they got my midterm report... and they haven't even checked off my HS report even though it's mid-November already. What are your stats and where do you come from? Are you applying as a sophomore, junior, second semester freshman? good luck!

Good luck guys! Push through, and once you guys get in, we will celebrate together!

My previous post didn't go up so sorry in advance if there's a duplicate.

@Supercolosal
My admissions counselor (Kaitlin Prieto) notified me via e-mail on November 8 for the grades. Unfortunately, I was only able to submit them after the long weekend (4 days later)! Hope that isn't delaying anything too badly as I already have an offer of admission (and pending deposit request) at Northeastern. I go to school here in Boston, but was born in Brazil and raised on Cape Cod!

@Tomeu
Did you independently submit a midterm report (with your app or later on) without having a request sent to you? Like I said, I sent my stuff a while back. It did take a while to process, but nothing too strenuous. Hopefully you see those lovely checkmarks soon!

Like I said, born in Brazil, raised in the states. Currently attending Emmanuel College in Boston. Applying as a second semester sophomore. GPA is currently 3.89 but will be a 3.92 if my mid-semester grades hold up (no reason they shouldn't). Experience on an exec board at school, research for an international non-profit, write for an online magazine, jobs, community service and other random extra-currics. I would be totally confident about admission if it wasn't for my 2.88 high school GPA. I went to an IB school and did receive the IB diploma so maybe that will help. But I'm honestly just hoping the high school transcript is a formality and isn't that important, since mine is pretty bad. Ugh. Crossing my fingers!

Good luck!!

@ohmymarc
I submitted it without them asking. By the way I am also an international student form Spain, I also did the IB and I'm currently at PSU UP. I wish I get those checkmarks asap... I'm thinking about calling them but I do not want to sound desperate lol to which school within NYU are you applying?

ohmymarc

@Tomeu

Applying to CAS. Applied for International Relations which is an honors major... sheesh. You can only apply to IR after being accepted, so I would assume I would be admitted to Politics or something of the like. That is.. IF I get admitted!

Tomeu11

oh, but you will be admitted! With that GPA if you do not get in I do not get in!! So I'm cheering for you as well now hahaha

supercolosall

Does anyone know if the school you're at affects admission at all? Cause I mean, a 3.92 at PSU or Emmanuel should definitely be worth more than a 3.92 at a CC. Hope Im not offending anyone who goes to CC, but its definitely the truth.

Tomeu11

I think they do take into consideration the institution you are at in regards to your GPA, I have a 3.85 from PSU and it is only like 14 spots behind NYU in many ranks. However, a 4.0 at a CC also looks reaally good on a transcript.

@supercolosall I seem to recall you are a freshman, am I right? If so, you HS GPA will probably be much more important than your college GPA.
