A high GPA will definitely help in the admission process (the average admitted last year was a 3.6) but NYU also looks at SAT I/II, ACT, and/or AP scores, and essays. They use the Common Application, so a general essay needs to be submitted and NYU also asks for many short creative supplement essays. Also, as with any college, NYU looks for well rounded, involved students, so extracurricular activities and volunteer work are also considered greatly.
The scores a student needs on the SAT or ACT depends on where he or she wants to attend college. Some colleges and universities are test optional and do not require admission test scores. Some schools will admit students with below average scores, but other schools have very high standards and only admit students with top scores.
