NYU admitted student profile?

Hello, I'm looking into NYU and I want to see if my stats are in line with previously admitted students. Does anyone have any information about the profile of an average admitted student at NYU? Thank you!

Of course! NYU is a very competitive school, so having a strong academic profile will be helpful when applying. While these numbers vary year-to-year, here's a general idea of what an average admitted student at NYU might look like:

1. GPA: Most admitted students have a weighted high school GPA above 3.7, with many in the 4.0+ range. Keep in mind that NYU will also consider your unweighted GPA and the rigor of your course load (honors, AP, or IB classes).

2. Test Scores: While NYU has adopted a test-optional policy for now, to give you an idea, previously the middle 50% SAT range for admitted students was around 1470-1570, and the middle 50% ACT range was about 33-35. If you choose to submit test scores, aim for a score within or above these ranges.

3. Extracurriculars: Admitted students typically have a number of strong extracurricular activities demonstrating commitment, leadership, and achievement. They may include a combination of impressive activities such as student government, research experiences, high-level sports, unique community service projects, and more.

Keep in mind that these are just averages, and NYU's admission process is holistic, meaning they will consider all aspects of your application, not just your stats. Outstanding essays, letters of recommendation, and a demonstration of your unique qualities and interests can also play a crucial role in your admission chances. Additionally, NYU has multiple schools and programs, like the Tisch School of the Arts or the Stern School of Business, and the admitted student profile may vary depending on the program of interest.

Best of luck in your application process!
