<p>Anyone? I’ve heard many conflicting opinions on the selectivity at Stern. I’ve seen people with perfect stats who are told that it’s not a sure thing and then people with GPAs lower than mine assured that they’re definitely in. Any thoughts?</p>

3

<p>No one can be assured that they are definitely in. Raise your ACT score and you should be a fairly good candidate.</p>

4

<p>Alright good to know. Does Stern require SAT subject tests? And if so, how important are they?</p>

5

<p>No they don’t require it. They require ACT or SAT or 2 SAT subject tests or 3 APs. The more you send, the stronger your application (only if they are good scores of course).</p>
