Don’t listen to them. As long as you have good essays and can raise your SAT score at least 100 points you’ll be fine
A 2020 is still well below the line for NYU and Bernard.
Median SAT for Barnard 1900-2170, NYU 1890-2170. 2020 is not “well below the line”.
Youll get into Pepperdine
50-50 for NYU

For unhooked candidates the ranges are much higher.
you have a good chance at pepperdine but they also look for faith and strong passions in their applicants, your essays matter!
