I’m a senior in high school and I applied RD to NYU Stern for Finance.
GPA: 3.85UW/4.35W at a competitive school
SAT: 1510/2300 (720 M, 790 CR, 790 W)
SAT II: 730 USH
Course Load: 12 total APs and several honors. Taking AP Micro and AP Macro this year. Took AP Stats last year. However, I’m taking Regular Calculus not AP Calculus. Overall, most rigorous.
ECs: Volunteering and politics. Nothing special but not terribly lacking either. Not a single business-related EC.
Essays: 8/10 both Common App Essay and Why NYU Essay
NY
Asian (Chinese)
Female
I think the things that will really hurt me are my SAT Math score, my lack of major awards, my decision to not take AP Calculus, and my lack of business ECs. And the fact that Asians from NY are a dime a dozen at Stern. But I’m not sure how much they will hurt. One one hand I hear that Stern is very numbers-based in which maybe my SAT score will get me through but on the other hand I hear that it really looks for involvement in business activities and strength in math.
Anyone have any thoughts on this (or my chances in general)? Thank you so much.
