<p>Emmacatherine29, my post was no way intended to offend. NYU is a numbers(SAT/ACT)driven school and because there are so many factors that goes in to an acceptance,and many more applicants than spots, NYU has made room for many. My daughter was rank 3 in HS, took all AP classes, yet she was not great at taking tests. Does that mean she should be denied acceptance to a university even though she is a stellar student? My point was to highlight that there may be some disparity between ranks and scores. I am in no way saying that LSP students are anything less.</p>
