<p>Um, why are you freaking out? You have an entire year until you apply.</p>

<p>With that said, if your practice SAT scores are indicative of your performance on the real SAT, you’re in for ED. Your GPA is above the average for NYU and a 2040 SAT is average.</p>

<p>I’m not freaking out…just a little anxious because my school has little info/stats on NYU (again, I think geography plays a major role here…) so I’m sort of going it alone without fellow classmates I can turn to for advice (:
And thanks! </p>
