Competitive

A student with an unweighted GPA of 4.0 and an SAT of 1500–1600 applying to New York University is in the Competitive range. New York University admits 9% of applicants, and the middle half of enrolled students submitted SAT scores of 1480 to 1570. At this band the estimate is about 14 in 100.

27% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, 12% an ACT — these ranges describe students who submitted, not the whole class.

For this band, the estimate reads the middle of the band, an unweighted GPA of 4.0 and an SAT of 1550, so a student's own numbers can land differently. It also weighs only the numbers; essays, activities and course rigor count too.
