<p>Hey, I think you have an excellent shot–even if not ED.</p>

<p>Thank you, I am about ready to cry over college admissions ( my whole wrestling team would laugh at me if they saw this post) but ahhh so much stress! Junior year is over soon, so I can finally live a life worth living lol. What about Stern? I have already gotten answers that I will be rejected…what about Stern ED?</p>

4

<p>ED or not i think you have a good shot</p>

<p>just get your GPA up.</p>

<p>stern will be tougher.</p>

5

<p>Looks good. GPA is about the same as mines but as always the higher the better. However, I am a math major at NYU. Not sure if your expected major matters since it’s easy to change it once you’re in.</p>
