<p>test scores test scores test scores.</p>

<p>You’re like <25% percentile with ACT/SAT. Not a good place to be, but not impossible either. Stern is highly GPA/test score focused, despite its claims to be comprehensive.</p>

3

<p>would u recommend applying ED?</p>

4

<p>I got in with a 2150 and a lower GPA so get that SAT score higher.</p>

<p>(I did have legacy here however)</p>

5

<p>I think you should retake the ACT and SAT. I got a 34 on my ACT and eventually matriculated into CAS as a mathematics major.</p>

6

<p>You have a decent shot even without ED, but I recommend retaking some tests especially the ACT, they super-score the ACT.</p>
