Can someone explain the NYU Requirements for Admission including GPA and test scores?

 

[Gsusangrey]

NYU freshman admission typically requires official high school transcripts, a Common Application essay, NYU-specific essays, and one letter of recommendation. Standardized tests (SAT/ACT) are optional for 2025. Strong academics and extracurriculars are highly valued.
