<p>I think your GPA should atleast be a 3.5, so you should work very hard first semester senior year to bring it up, although your rigorous courses do make up for that a bit. </p>

<p>Good extracurriculars, especially math club which Stern loves. Try to get an internship somewhere in the summer to boost your application.</p>

<p>Sorry, but SAT needs to go up. You need atleast a 2050 bare minimum to meet Stern standards. Give it again. You have time. </p>

<p>Apart from that, write amazing essays to make up for your average GPA, and i’d say you have a decent shot.</p>

<p>Your chances don’t seem too high. I’m also an IB student and was rejected with a 3.7 GPA and 2190 SAT score. From talking to people I know who were admitted, it seems like Stern wants at least top 10% ranking in your class with preference to top 5% students. They also want at least 700 in Math on your SAT and SAT Math Subject Test. I’m not saying you don’t have a shot, but your chances aren’t too great. Definitely work on your SATs, try to improve your GPA even more, and try to write some great essays. Good luck!</p>

4

<p>not very likely to get in with that GPA and SAT score.</p>

5

<p>Your GPA and SAT scores are much too low for consideration into Stern. Stern students usually have 2100+ and 3.7+.</p>

6

<p>I am sorry if this seems racial but being Muslim is a URM (Under Represented Minority)
So I guess your chances are good then.</p>

<p>But there is no harm in having a better SAT score.</p>

7

<p>Being Muslim is a religious choice, not an ethnic background.</p>

8

<p>Muslim is URM? LOL!
Oh! Wait! I’m agnostic! I’m a URM!
No, muslim is not a URM. It’s a religion. Not a race. Doesn’t count.</p>

9

<p>I understand that.</p>

<p>But being a Muslim is different. Due to the injustice going on against them some college might want to accept them to show to the world that they are against that sort of discrimination. Trust me its true. I live in the middle east (I am not Muslim BTW) I know.
All big companies and firms are employing people from that religion to show their neutrality.
I think its great.</p>
