<p>Been sometime seen I am posted here but I got much better stats now :)
Mind chancing me for Stern and CAS?</p>
<p>Nationality: Singaporean</p>
<p>GPA: 3.5/4.0 . Realized this is a little bit on the low side but I come from Singapore which have an extremely intense education system. Would that count for anything?</p>
<p>Edit*: Oh yea. I studied a great deal of finance modules such as risk management where i learn about the Basal accords and stuff like that, wealth management, invesyment, corporate finance. ahh you get the idea</p>
<p>SAT: 1500/2150. Would a poor writing score pull down my application? I heard stern does not look at writing, so kindda banking on that. </p>
<p>APs: Self studied everything. Is there a place to put that in the application?</p>
<p>Calculus Ab (5)
Macro (5)
Micro (5)
Comparative government (4)</p>
<p>Extra stuff I did:</p>
<p>Online Distance Learning with Oxford
Did Introduction to Philosophy which was an extremely tough course.
And Introduction to Macroeconomics which was very simple. </p>
<p>EC: Internship with a bulge bracket firm. Won a national market-making competition. Was a head of a section in my EC. 22 months of national services. </p>
<p>Thanks :)!</p>
<p>You could try for heop. Are you applying next year for class of 2018?</p>
<p>I think you have a good chance.</p>
<p>What? Why would he do HEOP, nowhere does he say he’s from new York</p>
<p>Thanks for the comments. More please :)</p>
<p>Can I have your current average in percentage. Also provide what courses you take would be easier to chance you.</p>
<p>I dont get what you mean by percentages…but in my ‘major’, i took mainly financial related modules such as wealth management, investment, corp fin, risk management, business management. All of this. soo yea.</p>
<p>percentages as in 90%, 92% etc , because you did mention if your GPA is unweighted.</p>
<p>But your choices of courses are excellent , Bravo!</p>
<p>I dont think we have such a system. But one thing to note is that I do not think that my GPA is truly reflective of my overall ranking. Because in Singapore, we have a streaming process where only a small handful of people would be placed into this course which is done based on meritocracy, and the gpa that i got is actually graded upon this small handful of people. Therefore, on the whole school wise, I believe my score should be seen as much higher. Is there a way to communicate this to the school?</p>
<p>One more thing I want to ask is…IF i get into stern, would there be any chance for me to learn from Aswath Damodaran? He is one of my idol in the field of valuation.</p>
