Answer 1

maybe spend less time on ******* yahoo and more time reading.

and im taking pre-ib algebra 2 and trig and im a frehshman.

and check out some ******* Newsweek magazines about the sat scores and ****.

ive been looking at them since my sister applied to yale and got in. doesnt take alot to get informed.

Answer 2

Well I'm sure there are students who are in NYU with 1500s, but the lowest reasonable score would be like an 1800(1700 if you're an urm). go try to maintain a 3.5+ unweighted average, shoot for a 2000+ SAT score, look to do some EC's which reflect your passion in fashion marketing/merchandising, and write a strong essay, if you wind up completing the following you should definitly have a very strong shot at making it into NYU.
