<p>Would applying ED help? or i have no chance?</p>
<p>I dont need financial aid</p>
<p>depends what your applying for… but probably no chance</p>
<p>business major</p>
<p>avg gpa for cas is like 3.7 and for stern its like 3.8</p>
<p>so should i apply ed or would i just be wasting time/money?</p>
<p>Do you have an SAT score? SAT IIs? Is that a weighted GPA? Do you have an unweighted one?</p>
<p>With what you’ve got, your chances are pretty slim, but it’s always worth a shot.</p>
<p>Is your family income is low? If so you may be eligible for HEOP.(Higher Education Opportunity Program, which is for students with low income but with academic potential)</p>
<p>If you are not eligible for HEOP because your income may be too high then it will be tough getting in.</p>
<p>my income is high :S, im taking the sats on june 6 im planning to do some subject tests on october i think but havent decided which ones yes are they important? which ones should i do?</p>
<p>i just got elected student council treasurer will that help me enter? plus i forgot one of my extracurricular being a member of “Dream Awake” an organization that helps poor kids, I myself have gone many weekends and make them have fun, and raise money for them</p>
<p>bumppppppp</p>
<p>Yeah, just read what I said before.</p>
<p>Your ECs help, but only if you’ve got a good base, i.e. a better GPA than a 3.25, to begin with.</p>
<p>You’re taking the SAT IIs in October? That’s much too late for an ED applicant.</p>
<p>wait what are your SATs?</p>
<p>taking them june 6 to NuclearPakistan1 even if i am a urm i think its impossible for me to enter columbia, even with early decision</p>
<p>ECs are really great, and they help show the AO who you are, but when it comes down to it your GPA is what stands out the most. A 3.25 is definitely too low for a decent shot at NYU or Columbia. However, I have heard of some people getting accepted with around a 3.3. Some things you could do to improve your chances:
-Do really well on the SAT
-Write outstanding essays
-If your intended major is economics consider applying CAS instead of Stern, but if its other fields of business then Stern is your only option
-Try to get your first semester senior grades as high as possible</p>
<p>As for the SAT IIs it doesn’t matter which ones you take although AOs usually don’t like to see you take Math I and II (although I did). Math would be a good one to take though if you are planning on business.</p>
<p>Worth a shot.</p>
<p>hey I think you should go for it and all but it’s really going to come down to your scores. If you pull of above a 2200 then your GPA will mean zilch, anything lower and it’ll cause you some problems (especially for Columbia).</p>
