<p>bump</p>

<p>really need some opinions…just got rejected from my ED :(</p>

3

<p>Low Grades. Mediocre SATs. ECs okay. Mid reach.</p>

<p>@qwertyzxc I’m sorry but although i may not have a perfect SAT I’m still the 99th percentile…Hardly mediocre. My grades overall may be low but my freshmen year was an 88 and junior year was a 94 with 4 aps to give you an idea of my improvement…i’ll agree my EC’s arent what many on college confidential have but many on college confidential are future ivy league stars. </p>

<p>very harsh critique of my resume…a little offensive to be honest</p>

<p>If you would like to take a look at my supplement and ca essay to give you a better picture let me know</p>

6

<p>Good enough for NYU Stern. I’d bet on you!</p>

7

<p>Great stats! I’m pretty sure you’ll get in :slight_smile: Just do well on the essay! X</p>

8

<p>You’ll get in</p>

<p>Thanks guys! although my stats arent that strong i think they are stern worthy especially with my improvement. Anyone want to take a look at my supplement and give me some feedback? although i already submitted id love some opinions</p>

<p>@closetohome1 - I didn’t mean my post to be offensive nor am I calling you mediocre. Those are very respectable stats indeed. However when you compare those stats with the general stern student body you will find that - those stats are less than the average at stern - especially your Math II score. </p>

<p>I had a higher SATs & about the same GPA w/ the most rigorous courseload when I had applied, and I would call myself just about average at Stern. If you do get in - and I hope you do - you will find that many of the kids here are just extremely brilliant and on another level.</p>

<p>@qwertyzxc thanks for clearing it up, I’m aware my Math score and gpa at 3.6 is not as strong as it could be…hoping the upward trend helps. I think my supplement and CA essay were quite strong tho</p>

<p>Yeah, qwertyzxc was kinda harsh but closetohome you have a great chance. :slight_smile: better than mine anyways</p>
