If your essays are fine you shouldn’t have any trouble getting in. Good luck!
@adreamer22 do you think my freshman and soph grades will hold me back? i feel that is the only weak part to my app
@topschoolsapplicant Nope. You’re well ahead of average scores for admission regardless of your poor grades freshman/sophomore year. Also, you display an upward trend, which usually helps conceal any poor scores.
@adreamer22 I appreciate your advice, if you dont mind me asking what is ur connection to the school?
@topschoolsapplicant I will be attending Stern in the fall and did the same research you’re doing right now in terms of chances of getting in. You can also look around on previous threads, as I did, to see who got into specific schools and with what stats.
