You are definitely a good applicant, but Stern has proven to be one of the harder colleges at NYU. Even with ED2 offering an admissions boost, Stern remains a reach, but not a high reach. Would love to see how your application pulled together. Odds are better or worse depending on the following: Does your transcript look like an inspirational improvement story? Are both your SAT scores that you submitted 700+ (740m, 710v works for me)? Do any of your activities bring out the real you and were you able to write about them in a meaningful (and maybe creative and humorous) way? No need to answer the question and Good luck!
The only people I personally knew into stern was a 1560+ with a few 1530s. Nothing under 1500 though. They now have a higher score average than wharton
Stern is definitely tough and test oriented, but he will not be eliminated if each score is a 700. I am not saying he will get in, but he has a 10-20% chance IMO. Stern is one of my favorite schools.
Will you help me better understand your high school and unweighted GPA, basically all A’s and 3 A-'s since freshman year? 0 B’s? Test optional, regardless of which top school? Give me your top 5.
I have had a lot of A-s across the semesters, just one B+ in bio freshman year. No A-s in junior and senior year, I think 5 total. My school has less than 80 people so no class rank.
