<p>I’m not going to harp on the writing score, but it will hurt you significantly. You have a very strong GPA, what is your class rank?</p>

<p>You have weak EC’s, get some more leadership positions, win some regional or state awards and then you have a better shot. The average SAT is around a 1350 for CAS, with strong grades.</p>

<p>I got in because of my EC’s, and I still had a 4.1 and 1950 SAT. It was cutting it very close.</p>

<p>Maybe take the tests again?</p>

<p>your chance could be fairly high if you apply to Polytech… they are now officially a part of NYU and hands out the NYU degree.</p>

<p>I’m not sure if I’d advise that, considering barely anyone knows how exactly this merger will impact students of both schools. Maybe in 2-3 years when it clears up it may be more advisable.</p>

<p>they don’t look at the writing score or give it any weight…you’re lucky (at least with your NYU application)</p>
