<p>If financial aid is a problem, scratch UMI and NYU Stern off your list.</p>

<p>NYU Stern: High match
UPenn Wharton: Reach
Fordham Gabelli: Low match/Match
Cornell Dyson: Reach
Duke: Reach
UMI Ross: High match
Vassar: Reach</p>

<p>thank you, what ACT/SAT score would I need so that NYU would be a match for me? or what should i improve if its not the test scores?</p>

6

<p>Aim for 32+/2150+… you might also want to look at IU-Kelley.</p>

<p>WIll you be full pay or do you need financial aid? That changes your odds considerably.
Also, since you live in Spain, your Spanish 800 is worthless and may actually look bad (as in: “you didn’t have anything worthwhile to take a test on so you took the easy way out, a test designed for 2-3 years of foreign language study when it’s your native language”).
Your record is accomplished but all schools except Fordham are reaches; Michigan is a match if you are full pay, otherwise scratch it off your list. You’re within range for NYU so what will matter isn’t one or two more points on the ACT but whether you need money to attend or not. If not, NYU is a match, but Stern remains a reach.
You need to include two more reasonable schools since the schools on your list have unpredictable odds.</p>

<p>thank you, and what reasonable schools would you recommend me,considering that i want to study finance?</p>

9

<p>does it really look that bad if I send my Spanish SAT subject test being spanish?</p>

10

<p>because I am half german half spanish and the subject tests would show they directly that i am fluent in both…</p>

11

<p>bump^^^^^^</p>

12

<p>Well… Spanish is your native language so I agree that it would look bad to send it. Most likely the app will ask what languages you speak and that’s where you can list your languages.</p>

13

<p>got 34 on my ACT now!!
does that significally improve my chances?</p>
