Stern is very difficult to get in. But you have a shot.

I think you have a good chance especially with the fact that you’re in multivariable right now and your NYU essay. Stern values calc experience quite a bit.

Quick question, do you know when the document deadline is for NYU? One of my recs isnt in yet and I’d like to submit my common app but dont know if my teacher will have time to submit the rec afterward

Thanks for the reply! I believe that they prefer to have the documents by Jan.1, but the final deadline for most things is January 31 if I remember correctly.

I see, thanks!
