NYU standardized testing question
Answered

I got a 1520 on my Sat reasoning test(730 RW and 790 Math), and am debating on sending that or three AP exam scores, Calc AB(got a 5), World History(4), & Physics 1(5). What should I send?

I don't see any reason why you can't just send both the SAT and the AP scores. NYU's Collegevine profile says that a 1290+ for the SAT will be a pretty good score to send in, and yours far surpasses that. Plus, the AP scores are all pretty good as well, so you might as well send them.

Edit: A 1400 for the SAT is actually a good score, not 1290+, but yours is still 1400+ so I would just send both anyways.

Those scores are impressive! I would recommend sending them all in, as this will prove to NYU your strength and commitment! Especially if one or more of the test scores are in the field you're interested in. Also, sending in more than the necessary amount of scores lets NYU know that you are very committed to the campus. Colleges are always looking for those willing to go above and beyond for college because the interest is genuine.
