<p>u applying to stern?</p>

<p>if u r applying to stern...(honestly), i don't believe u hv that great a chance...at CAS however, i'd say u hv a 50/50 shot if you go ED. ur SATs r right where they want it and although ur GPA is on the low side, ur upward trend is quite promising. u seem like u hv also involved urself in quite a number of activities... those r just my two cents.</p>

<p>No- I'm applying to CAS with regular decision.</p>
