<p>Hey there, I would like to ask you to chance a friend of me who is currently serving in the German Forces and wonders whether he should apply to Stern (International Business) or CAS (Economics). </p>

<p>White, International Applicant
SATs: W680, M610, CR620 (He said he'll take them again in January if possible)
SAT IIs: Physics790, Word History780, Lit780
GPA out of 4.0
UW: 3.63, W. 3.89
IB Billingual Diploma: 36</p>

<p>ECs:
Journalism, has published a few articles in a leading German newspaper,
has approximately 200 hours of community services,
Is very interst in philosophy and has joined the local university's philosophy society,
Participated 8 years in fencing for recreation,
Went on a program to Columbia University on Business.
Has an incredible amount of travel experience, visited over 30 countries</p>

<p>Essays will be fantastic I guess, he is a REALLY good writer
His recommendations will be good, from a physics and economics teacher
Has won 7 or 8 Excellent Achievement awards in grade 12 High school
He does not need financial aid, speaks 5 languages and is a first generation college student</p>

<p>He is really desperate about getting into NYU and would sacrifice Stern for studying Econ at CAS if his chances of admission are high there. </p>

<p>Thanks for your time</p>

<p>International “chances” are always a crapshoot because international students are very competitive. That being said, his SAT IIs are incredible, but his SAT I is on the low side for Stern, especially that math score. That’s pretty much the only fault because the rest of his record is flawless. </p>

<p>If he could retake the SAT I, I would definitely recommend that. Otherwise, applying to CAS with the three SAT IIs would also work. </p>

<p>That’s the new testing policy.</p>

<p>SAT 2’s will help him out. Pretty surprising he did so well on Literature and so poorly on CR on the SAT I. Same with Physics vs. Math.</p>
