Even though your SAT is great, I would try to raise your CR score, as Stern is very focused on CR and M but not writing as much. Also, I would try to get another subject test score in the mid 700’s.

Your GPA is your only true negative. Unless your school is notoriously difficult, a 3.7 W is not gonna cut it. A 3.7 UW is below average for stern just to give you some perspective.

Other aditional factors that play into acceptance are your ethnicitiy and your income. Being a URM or even white (since stern is heavily asian) can and will help in admissions. Also, since NYU does not giving out aid, if you can mark on your app that you don’t need any your chances of admittance will increase.

Just wondering, but what did you do during your internship?

Also, what stocks are you currently trading? I think AXP is a solid buy now and SHAK is a short until 50$
