Thanks for any of your comments, even if they make more anxious, and congrats to any who have gotten accepted, now you dont have to wait nervously for several more months like the rest of us.</p>

Comments: Just something else, I got accepted into the a carrol school at BC (I know its no where as prestigious) with 150 pts lower on the sat I and only the us history sat II score.</p>
<p>I know my U.S. sat II hurts as well as the fact that I have no business related ecs. I actually did try to get a bussiness internship at a couple of different companies and even through my school but they all required me to be 18. Ive got a range of responses for my chances at stern from people i know and from this forum, some people saying that its more than likely i will get in while others say that its a reach. For all my other colleges i know whether they are safties, matches or reaches but nyu is the only school that i still have no idea. If you could try to clear that up for me it would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks for any of your comments.</p>
