<p>Youre in.</p>

<p>I’ll chance back!</p>

<p>I just answered your question.</p>

<p>oh lol. Didn’t see it! Thanks! Much appreciated.</p>

<p>Im sorry.</p>

<p>NP man! I appreciate the response!</p>

<p>I’d be amazed if you didn’t get in</p>

<p>Thanks man! I’m just worried about my low GPA!</p>

<p>Your ec’s, work experience, volunteering, and ACTS more than make-up for it! </p>

<p>I’m surprised you actually have to ask us haha
You have a really high chance of getting in…
good luck and keep us posted!</p>

<p>I will be extremely shocked if you don’t get into Stern.</p>

<p>little confused on the GPA- is it a 3.61 uw? </p>

<p>How big are your companies- do they have sales? if they have combined net worth 1 mil+ you’re in easy. Overall tho you have pretty good chances, although if they do a numerical sort first, your GPA might be a red flag.</p>

<p>I must say I’m envious of your internships… those would be certain hooks. Just try to get a good 1st trimester grades (if your school releases them)</p>
