2

<p>I think you have an excellent chance.</p>

3

<p>Maybe a little too excellent. :P</p>

4

<p>I have a feeling that he'll be going to upenn or harvard...</p>

5

<p>You win this time, darling.</p>

6

<p>Your in, but why not they IVYs? You can get some good scholarship money with your stats. NYU will not be giving out merit aid like it did inpast.</p>

7

<p>i am pretty sure you will get in
only advice
they still really look at math and critical reading
you have a 1350 which is below the 25th percentile
so get that up other than that, you shouldnt have any troubles</p>

8

<p>Stern should be your safety</p>

9

<p>if you get your SAT up a little, I think you have a really good shot. other than that, I would advice you to stop stressing; you describe yourself as an obnoxious overachiever who is stressed out over his perfect stats. you'll go somewhere nice, don't worry.</p>

10

<p>Pffh, why go to Ivys when you can go to NYU? :P</p>

11

<p>lol Stern is not a safety school unless you have a 2300+
your grades are obviously good, you'll just need to improve the reasoning test which you said you can. so yeah, you'll most likely get in. nothing is guaranteed though, it gets more competitive every year.</p>

12

<p>I don't think Stern is ever a safety. I remember one user complaining once that he had a 2400 and was rejected.</p>

13

<p>Ya I don't think Stern admission is that predictable. I've seen a lot highly qualified applicants getting rejected from Stern.</p>

<p>You're very likely to get in tho, as long as you can improve your SAT1 score a little bit.</p>

14

<p>i'm afraid that NYU, even Stern, is a quite low a reach for you. Really, you can aim a lot higher.</p>
