I am currently a senior and I applied RD to NYU Stern and my gpa is lower than average by a bit, but I am hoping that they dont just loom at that. here are my stats, ecs, etc…

stats:
GPA- 3.78/5 (ranked 500/1400)
SAT- 1500

I go to a very competitive high school in plano, tx. Most of the students are white and wealthy and my family falls into that category.

ecs:
-I am the CEO of a garage company I started when I was 15
-The business has accumulared nearly 400,000 dollars
-I have developed many professional relationships with Dallas’ most successful businessmen and entrepreneurs
-I am in National honors Society
-DECA
-Active member at my local church which entails volunteering for food drives, clothing drives, etc…
-Political Club member
-JV baseball

  • and I have worked at many different places raising investment money for my business

Demographics:
White
Male
income: greater than 200,000
family: divirced household

My GPA is not the greatest because my freshman year I was really focused on building my company. I put a lot of effort into my 4-9 job as a construction worker at a local country club. My sophomore year was much better first semester, but 2 of my close friends passed away which resulted into a period of darkness in my academic and social life. My junior year was really good, I brought my grades up, my company was booming and we branched out to several locations across texas. My essays, my subjective opinion, are very good, I have a passion for creative writing and write a lot of short stories in my freetime. I come from a family of businessmen and entrepreneurs who start and maintain successful businesses and business is practically in my blood.

I am hoping that stern looks outside of my gpa and sees my potential as a businessman. What are my chances for Stern? Chance me.

I take rigourous courses at my high school including mostly AP and honors courses. My rec letters are really good and recieved them from my humanities teacher and a client of mine.

You should be a competitive applicant for admission to NYU-Stern.

Have you applied to other direct admit business schools ?

Any particular reasons for NYU-Stern as your top choice ?

I chose stern becausd of its hands on and interactive curriculum. I also have the opportunity to have a dual-concentration, I plan to do one in entrepreneurship and one in marketing. Marketing is something that I lacked when creating my business so stern, being in new york, and being a school with some of the most professional connections to businesses, internships, etc… I will be able to connect with people and spread and market my brand. the marketing curriculum at Stern is one of the most world renouned and hands-on/ interactive which will enable me to become a successful businessman.

“My rec letters are really good and the teachers who wrote them have told me that if i don’t get in based on what they have written, the college is delusional.”

LOL…i love your teachers.

I don’t know much about Stern but I would think that your interest in the garage business & construction would be a big plus. (as an example, my kid was below stats for Cornell but two of his uncles and his grandfather worked the Big Dig in Boston for 10 plus years and I believe his familiarity with union work helped him during decisions).

thank you so much! im really hoping for my business to get me into stern. My gpa is the only thing that is lacking… and it is stressing me out…
