NYFA SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 980–1180 (based on available data for students who submit scores)
• Average Score: Approximately 1080
• Percentile: Around the 50th–60th percentile for admitted students who submit SAT scores

Key Points:

• SAT/ACT scores are optional at the New York Film Academy (NYFA); they are not required for most programs.
• When submitted, scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review, alongside creative portfolios and personal essays, rather than as a strict threshold.
• NYFA does not have a published superscoring policy for SAT or ACT scores, so applicants should submit their best single sitting score if applicable.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores are not typically emphasized, as the focus remains on artistic and practical skills for admission.
• For applicants choosing to submit SAT scores, aiming for a score above 1100 is recommended to demonstrate academic preparedness, especially for competitive programs at the New York Film Academy.
