<p>Thanks guys! Your feedback is greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>SAT score is a bit lower than the typical SAT score. Everything else seems pretty typical. Also “International Business” is not a stand-alone major. You need to major in something else along with it.</p>

<p>Do you think it would be better if I applied for Music Business?</p>

<p>Is it possible to switch from Music Business into Stern or is that impossible?</p>
