Chance at Stern ED?

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University
1

<p>GPA: 3.83 weighted, probably around 3.7 unweighted (on a 4.0 scale)
SAT I: 720 Math, 800 Reading, 800 Writing
SAT II Math IIC: 800
And let's assume that I were to get around a 750 on Physics, which I took in October.
Currently a high school Senior.
As far as the GPA thing is concerned, I skipped a grade in math and physics relative to the other students in the school. Dunno if admissions officers really care about that though.</p>

<p>5's in AP Gov, World History, Physics C E&M, Calculus BC, and a 4 in Physics C Mechanics.
Taking AP Microecon, Euro, Chem, Bio, and Literature this year.</p>

<p>Currently in the Columbia Science Honors Program
Won medals at DECA state competition (although this is probably unmeaningful)
Had an internship at 2 biotech companies, totaling about 600 hours
Had a brief internship at an IT firm, totaling about 100 hours
And CTY, i guess, but that doesn't really matter.
I do some in-school stuff, but not significant enough to talk about (like treasurer of Japanese Club and VP of Current Events club, etc)</p>

<p>I'm a resident of New York, and Asian American.</p>

<p>And let's assume decent essays. I'm probably being extremely optimistic in the unweighting, it could be anything from 3.55 to 3.7, since I took quite a few honors classes. </p>

<p>And if someone who knows about how admissions selectivity works is posting, I would appreciate it if they could explain the importance of SATs relative to GPA and extracurriculars for Stern. </p>

<p>Thank you for your time.</p>

<p>It’d be a waste of your opportunities to apply to Stern ED. I think you will get in if you applied RD, so shoot for a higher ranked school for ED/EA.</p>

<p>My GPA seems comparatively low, looking at other people on CC that have been accepted. Also, I probably should have mentioned that I’m in the 2nd decile. That’s probably a big problem.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say it’s a waste of an ED simply because of your GPA as you have mentioned. However, only do ED if Stern is a place you want to be at. If you really want to be elsewhere, try applying there ED and maybe do ED2 for Stern.</p>

<p>I think you have good chances of getting in ED.</p>
