<p>-About 40 hours of community service hours so far.</p>

<p>-I am slightly concerned about financial issue, but not necessary to attend school. </p>

<p>Great GPA and lots of APs.</p>

<p>I’d bring up the SATs, though. Especially math/reading.</p>

<p>(Although I had a 3.54 and 1900 and got in, but I went for Music Technology, so I had music help me out)</p>

<p>Overall your SAT is pretty good but definitely improve the 520(i got in with a 620 reading)…and really try to keep that GPA high to 3.9, everything thing else seems good. And AP Stat will look good for Stern.</p>

<p>Improve your SAT to 2150+ would give you a huge boost ( try getting 800 in math, Stern loves math). 40 hours of community service is weak, try adding a lot more and consider perhaps getting an internship? You took a lot of APs that’s great but what about the AP exam scores? those matters the most. </p>

<p>Don’t take AP stats, it’s useless Stern makes you retake it anyways. Take Calc BC rather than wasting time on Stats. Also make sure you get a 5 in any Science ap exams. It’ll help you skip a general ed requirement class ( Nat science). </p>

<p>Overall you don’t have much that stands out but if you do well on the APs and pull up your SAT i think you’ll be good to go. Get great recommendation letters and don’t write vague and general essays on your application. Zap me if you have any more questions. GOOD LUCK!!! :D</p>
