<p>PS- I was rejected by NYU Stern ED - guidance counselor called and spoke with my app reader and she said I was extremely qualified but there were just too many applicants for ED this year...</p>

<p>yes to everything except for brown, upenn, and harvard.. those tend to be a but picky. But i think that one out of the 3 will probably accept you.</p>

<p>ps all those apps mustve been a ***** to do!</p>

<p>Not familiar with all the schools, but if the essay is that good, and backed by a strong if not spectacular resume, you're probably in at most. Your clss rank/gpa is your weakest part.</p>
