Standardized Test Scores for NYU Sophomore Transfer

Does anyone know how much emphasis is put on the standardize test score submission for class of 2018 sophomore transfer? I took my SAT my junior year and only got a 1500, however, I’m at a community college right now and have a 4.0 plus an internship along with other extracurriculars. There’s also an option to submit 3 AP test scores, but I’ve only passed two- English Lit/Lang with a 3, and the rest of my score’s are 2’s unfortunately. I’m not sure what I should do, because I am a poor standardized test taker. My major is English so I was thinking maybe my AP tests would be good to submit but I’m not sure. Additionally, I don’t even know if I should apply as an English major, I work at a magazine right now and I’m a free lance writer, multiple articles I’ve written have been published, maybe I should switch to journalism in order to make it easier to get accepted and then change to English, what do you guys think?
