<p>With SAT scores of 1600~ on the <em>new</em> SATs, how likely is that I will be accepted to schools like BU/NYU/Tufts?
Regardless of whether I am a minority or not, my chances are obviously very low, or slim to none but I would like to hear some feedbacks from people who might have more experience about admissions than I do.
Any and all thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks.</p>
<p>Couldn’t you retake?</p>
<p>RETAKE IN NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, AND JANUARY if they’ll still accept late scores. As for the november date, it’s not so late, you could always get away with a standby spot.</p>
<p>December- study like mad if necessary, do whatever it takes to raise your scores</p>
<p>1600? Good luck and good night</p>
<p>Do you have something really special working for you?</p>
<p>Study and retake or you can basically kiss your chances goodbye. Not to be mean, I just think it’d be 100% worth a shot to retake.</p>
<p>Yeah, b/c you can’t get much worse than a 1600. You only get better neway</p>
<p>I’d retake. Also be advised that Tufts is quite a bit harder to get into than BU or NYU (unless you’re also trying to get into the honors programs at the latter two, which are as hard or harder)</p>
<p>Definitely retake and get higher unless there’s some legitimate explanation for the score that’s out of your control.</p>
<p>or you can look into some of the excellent schools that are SAT optional, such as bowdoin, bates, connecticut college, hamilton, etc.</p>
