<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>Please please take a moment to chance me!
I'm an international student living in London.

GPA: 3.75
SAT II: Math Level 2: 620
French: 640
AP courses:
-AP Psych in Sophomore Year, Got a 3 :(
-AP Environmental Science in Junior Year, Got a 4
-AP English and Composition in Junior Year, Got a 4
-AP Economics taking currently
-AP Physics taking currently
-AP French taking currently
-AP Calculus taking currently</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: Plenty!
--MUN Club Leader, attended a gazillion conferences, both as chairs and delegate
--NHS Member for the past 3 years
--Loads of community service...In countries like Ethiopia, Nigeria, Dominican Republic
--Editor-in-Chief of School Newspaper in Freshmen year</p>

<p>Other hooks:
--I have been to 3 high schools, one in Ethiopia, Nigeria and currently in London.
--I am currently living on my own in London since the age of 16
--I'm a male Asian, not really a hook though.</p>

<p>I plan to major in the field of Business, so Marketing/Finance/International Business, basically anything that has to do with business.</p>

<p>Okay, now I know I'm being ambitious, but I'm aiming for Stern Business School (NYU) for Early Decision. Stern would be the biggest dream come true. I know my SAT scores are really low, but for some reason, I'm not a good test taker. Could y'all please chance me? I also plan to apply to UofMichigan, UofVirginia, Georgetown, Emory, Fordham and Rutgers/GW/BU are my backup. PLEASE let me know if my list is realistic. I would seriously appreciate it. Also, feel free to recommend me any colleges that are suitable given my stats. I'm looking at colleges on the East Coast, preferably. I would love to know more about the colleges I'm applying to, so if you have any info/review/facts about them, feel free to share!</p>

<p>Thanks a ton, seriously :)</p>

<p>Stern is going to be a reach for you since most of the American top business schools seem to favor applicants that are much better test-takers. So I’d say that your list only seems to contain reaches. If I didn’t know better, I could have put Rutgers as the only non-reach in your list but business at Rutgers seems to be more selective than any other undergraduate major. </p>

<p>But HEC Montreal seems to be an acceptable alternative since it’s SAT-optional (i.e. you can even decide not to send in a SAT score if you applied at HEC Montreal) If you can study AP-level French and be fine in it, I think you can go at HEC and be just fine, even in the bilingual plan. Plus it’s one of the best SAT-optional business schools within reach and enjoys a reputation close to what reputation Stern has.</p>

<p>Thanks Catria!
The thing is, HEC looks interesting but I’m only applying to the States. Are there any other alternatives? How’s NYU CAS compared to Stern?</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>
