<p>lol @ "I posted one in the chances thread a while ago and never got a response :( "</p>

<p>ur in btw....i sorta got in with similar stats</p>

3

<p>You have a good chance; however, it doesn't seem like you have many leadership activities (though you are "heavily involved"). Stern likes leadership activities. Maybe try to get a position in DECA, if you already haven't?</p>

4

<p>Apply for ED hint hint!! And more Leadership.</p>

5

<p>funny story, I'm actually the top candidate for DECA's chapter president next year. I organized the fundraiser event so does that count too? Also I think I signed up for a leadership conference over the summer, and hopefully that gives the impression that i'm interested. thanks a lot for the feedback and yes i'm applying ED. I think stern's been my top choice since my sophomore year</p>

6

<p>ahhh i would like more opinions please!!</p>

7

<p>lol, i think you should apply to Wharton and keep Stern as your second choice...you never know, if Wharton takes you, It would be a much better choice than Stern</p>

8

<p>I dont even think I have a chance at Wharton lol. does NYU offer early action? maybe I could do that instead and apply Wharton regular</p>

9

<p>I think you do need to get that SAT up. If your next SAT doesn't go better for you, you might try the ACT.</p>
