<p>I only got a 1080 on my SAT.
560 Math
520 Critical Reading
I got a unweighted 4.0 gpa.
I’m number 2 out of 210 in my class.</p>
<p>Are all the good schools like Boston U. and NYU out of my reach?</p>
<p>They’re not out of your reach if you have amazing ECs and recs/essay…you should retake it, though…definitely wouldn’t hurt you.</p>
<p>My advice: try the ACTs. If you do well on those, you don’t have to show colleges your SAT scores.</p>
<p>Boston U and NYU also require SAT I + 2 SAT IIs, OR ACT with writing-- another good reason to try ACT.</p>
<p>Yes, you need to retake that. The disparity between your SAT score and your GPA will raise a red-flag at the admissions office. </p>
<p>So yeah, go for at least a 1300.</p>
<p>No. These schools are still your reaches. However, I suggest that you should retake the SAT and try taking the ACT.</p>
