<p>I take it this is your weighted GPA? If so, you really are underqualified :. I remember reading that Stern doesn’t even consider those with a GPA under 3.85 (out of 4.0), although I could be wrong. A 2100 on the SAT is decent, but it really doesn’t compensate for your grades. I would try to get around a 2250 and involve yourself in some more ECs, especially those business related. I originally wanted to go to Stern, but I realized that I didn’t really have a shot. The acceptance rate is low (10%?), and my EC’s weren’t that strong. If you’re planning on getting your MBA, I’d just go ahead and apply to their college of arts and sciences and major in Economics. Then you can go and apply to Stern’s MBA program. You’d probably have a better shot at that, assuming you do well in college. Good luck, though! With some hard work you can still make it.</p>
