<p>i saw the class size (1277) and immediately thought plano. you're in at CAS, and good chance for stern.</p>

3

<p>I agree with the comment above.</p>

4

<p>thanks :) i just wasnt entirely sure wut nyu was looking for</p>

5

<p>Wow! Class size of 1277??? </p>

<p>You have a very good chance at NYU.</p>

6

<p>Everything looks good except class rank, which is a little low but good for such a huge class size. Test scores more than make up for any flaws in your app - in at CAS, likely for Stern.</p>

7

<p>thanks so much for the helpful input! just wondering if i applied for the CAS, is it still possible to switch to Stern or is it binding?</p>

8

<p>you can internally transfer but I think it's probably harder (percentage wise) than getting in as a freshman and you have the grades to make it now. May as well apply to Stern now. </p>

<p>If you mean can you switch it on your app now if you've already sent it in, maybe, but you'll need to contact them quickly and I believe you have to indicate it in writing.</p>

<p>brand_182,</p>

<p>What would be an "appropriate" ballpark class rank for Stern? I'm curious/worried because I am ranked 95/405, and historically, seniors ranked 100+ at my school have gotten into Stern, and my guidance counselor was confident about Stern, especially with alumnus connection.</p>
