Your internship is great for being in high school; although your GPA seems like it may be a little low (what’s your unweighted? weighted is much less relevant.)
That math score is beautiful, good job. You’re a good fit for UVA for sure, NYU Stern is extremely competitive but i’d say you’re also a fit as an applicant. What’s important is that you really hammer in your essays why finance and why Stern. I’m at UVA, applied to NYU but got rejected.
Also, don’t be afraid to hire an essay consultant. They aren’t gonna write anything for you, but will guide you a LOT. Mine was from princeton admissions and helped me elevate my essay to a whole new level, setting me apart from a lot of other applicants
Are you applying to Ross at Michigan ? If so, consider applying EA.
Using weighted GPA is a bit of a guess since different high schools calculate it so differently. What is your unweighted GPA?
With the caveat that I am only guessing, all three look to me like they are worth applying to, but IMHO none are safeties. Also, I would run the NPC on NYU and Michigan (since you are out of state for Michigan) unless you are fine with being full pay.
Hey! So my calculate doesn’t calculate unweighted so I have no idea… I have A’s and B’s with one C+ in AP Physics CM. I think my course load is pretty rigorous and thats about as much as I can say… What did you mean by run the NPC? Thanks a lot!
Great advice! Thanks a lot! I was planning on finding a consultant and I was wondering if you’d mind sharing yours with me, it would definitely be very helpful. I also was wondering if you go to Mcintire now since you mentioned Stern. Thanks!
You are a competitive applicant. Your stats and ECs are decent. Write great essays and you could get accepted to any of these schools
