NYU Test Type on applicationAnswered
On the CommonApp NYU application, you are asked if you want to send test scores to be considered since they鈥檙e test optional. When I selected 鈥測es,鈥� I got a drop-down menu with several options, only two applying to me: 鈥淪AT Reasoning Test鈥� and 鈥淭hree AP Examinations.鈥� I thought this would just mean SAT or ACT, but since I can also use my AP scores, I wanted to confirm whether my SAT score would still be best. I got a 1470 but plan on retaking it, and my top 3 notable AP scores are a 5 on AP Music Theory, a 4 on AP Lang, and a 4 on APUSH. Which one will make me a better candidate? Feel free to ask questions such as about my major, application round, etc!

Do you have to pick only 1? or can you submit both SAT and 3 APs also?
I would pick the SAT (your future higher score), over the APs.
Good luck.
