Chance me please!</p>

<p>You should have no problem getting into NYU Stern if your essay is good and if your recommendations are positive.</p>

<p>As far as your other schools:</p>

<p>Duke ED--Reach
Cornell ED--Match to Slight Reach
Chicago EA--Slight Reach</p>

<p>P.S. You need more matches and also need a safe match/safety. I would suggest you apply also to CMU (another match) and Penn State (safe match)</p>

<p>thank you for your replay calcruzer xD</p>

<p>anyone else?
bumpidy bump bump!</p>

<p>I thought Stern was harder to get into, Calcruzer, especially considering the relatively competitive nature of the school? OP certainly has a chance, but is it really such an easy match for her?</p>

<p>I'm just asking--do NOT get paranoid over anything that I say. I'm only a senior myself, not worthy of telling others their chances.</p>

5

<p>I am already paranoid about this whole univ thing no matter what people tell me haha.</p>

<p>That's what I thought too. I was quite surprised when I read his comment (yet a little bit happy lol). And some people have told me that Chicago EA (as long as I have good essays and get better SAT scores), it's a good/high match for me. </p>

<p>I'm lost now..lol</p>

<p>This is assuming your essay is good and you're asking for recommendations from teachers who don't hate you.</p>

<p>NYU Stern ED (My friend went there so I'm comparing your stats to hers. I forget what they were though so...w.e lol): Match/Slight Reach
Duke ED: Reach
Cornell ED: Reach
Chicago EA: Match/Slight Reach</p>

7

<p>The recommendations are from teachers who like me a lot hehe.
Wow. People give me all different responses for Cornell ED lol</p>

<p>thank you krnpsychopath!</p>

8

<p>Ranking to get into certain schools (selectivity ranking) per the Princeton Review:</p>

<p>NYU: 95
Duke: 98 (but very close to 99 in my view)
Chicago: 98
Cornell: 97</p>

<p>NYU Stern is no more than a 96-97 (in my view, not Princeton Review) and relies less on rank than Cornell. The GPA, on average is still less, and the SAT scores are about equal to Cornell for acceptance.</p>

<p>thank you for your further reply calcruzer =)</p>

<p>argh univs. they drive me crazy</p>

10

<p>Yeah, tell me about it -_-
Good luck to you.
(I have similar stats so that's why I'm posting a useless comment :))</p>

11

<p>NYU really likes people who do ED. It has a little more weight on it than most schools...at least in my perspective.</p>

12

<p>Stern-Match
Chicago-match (assuming if you write great essays)
Cornell-slight reach
Duke-slight reach</p>

13

<p>What's the difference between a High Match and a Low Match?</p>

14

<p>Scale: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10</p>

<p>1 -You're in 100%
10 - Only if you can cure cancer or create a time machine.</p>

<p>1 - Low *Safety
**2* - Safety
3 - High Safety
4 - Low Match
5 - Match
6 - High match
7 - Slight Reach
8 - Reach
9 - You need to be a millionaire
10 - Did you cure cancer yet and go back in time and save millions of lives?</p>

<p>i.e for a student Brown may be a Reach, NYU a High Match and Penn state a safety.</p>
