Chances at NYU Stern School of Business?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Thanks so much for helping me, I was interested in applying Early Decision to NYU Stern School of Business undergrad and I was wondering what my chances looked like with these scores: (I'm in the second semster of my Junior year, so there is some leeway) And I would have the intended major of International Business with Chinese.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.78 (unweighted) 4.0 (weighted)</p>

<p>Rank: 33 out of 581 (Top 10%)</p>

<p>AP: I will have taken 10 AP classes by graduation- the hardest ones offered in my school (all the way up to AP Microeconomics) and in the "GT" Cluster</p>

<p>SAT: 2000 - 680 Critical Reading, 680 Math, 640 Writing (I only have taken it once, I will take it again to hopefully raise my scores and also take the ACT)</p>

<p>EXC:</p>

<p>Model UN Delegate
Tutored Orphans with English in China
International Student Congress
Spanish Club- President
Debate Team - President
Teen Court Attorney
Tutor (Community Service)
National Forensices League (4 degrees)
National Honor Society
Mock Trial Attorney
Volunteer Samaratian Inn
Student Ambassador (People to People)
Future Business Leaders of America - Founder and President of my Chapter
Academic Decathlon</p>

<p>(Due to budget cuts, my school cancelled all it's Chinese programs- stopping me from receiving even Credit by Exam, but I have been teaching it to myself in my free time)</p>

<p>(For what its worth, I am a white female from Texas)</p>

<p>Thanks so much for helping me, I know my grades aren't exactly up to where they could be, but I am hoping that my passion for Business and International communication have the ability to shine through in my extracurriculars and essays. If not NYU, any other suggestions of schools would be a great help in my college search.</p>

<p>As long as you get your SAT up, I think you would be an excellent canidate for Stern</p>

3

<p>Thanks so much for your response, I will definitely work to increase my scores in that area and hopefully everything works out.</p>

4

<p>Highly recommend that you push all your sat section scores to 700. I think 2150 was the average for Stern’s accepted class.</p>

5

<p>I took the ACT and got a 32.
Would that be good enough?</p>

6

<p>Stern has much higher SAT/ACT standards than the University as a whole. As drac said, a 2100+ is the norm, but a 32 composite is getting close.</p>

7

<p>Like everyone before me has stated, you need to get your SAT/ACT scores up. NYU’s Stern School of Business is highly competitive with a low acceptance rate. As an alternative, you might want to consider applying to another school at NYU, and then try and transfer to Stern within your first two years.</p>
