<p>Good shot if you’re not counting on aid.</p>

<p>out of curiosity, is nyu need blind?</p>

4

<p>Not sure if they are need blind, but more importantly, they DON’T meet need and give enough money only to very top applicants. Their packages are especially student and parent loan heavy.</p>

<p>They even sent out letters to admits this year explaining that it won’t get better and asking them to truly consider the staggering debt many would need to take on.</p>

5

<p>I was accepted into Stern with a 3.25 and a worse rank. Good chances, ED helps so much for NYU.</p>

6

<p>what were your standardized testing scores? if you don’t mind me asking.</p>

7

<p>2390 SAT. (800 CR, 800 M, 790 W) </p>

<p>790 physics II, 800 Lit.</p>

<p>5s on chem, physics B, BC, AB, Language, Lit, mechanics, psych.
4s on Euro, US, Government, electricity & magnetism. </p>

<p>Our scores are pretty similar. I don’t know how the ACT is scored, but your subject tests are in the 700s. After that initial “7” NYU doesn’t care. One top of which, your GPA and rank are more competitive. Class of '13 was supposed to be the peak year of admissions competitiveness, I think you’re set. Just write good essays, emphasize an EC you really enjoy.</p>

<p>All in all, Stern does however have really competitive admissions. I do think that a math major at CAS {in which case, you’re definitely in} is no less attractive in the world of business as a finance at Stern. In fact, one might argue the former is MORE attractive.</p>
