Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi everyone, I'm applying to university this fall and it'd be good to get a reality check on some schools I'm considering. My first choice is NYU Stern and possibly Emory. I'm definitely applying EDI or EDII for NYU but due to my low GPA and SAT score I don't think I have a good chance. Thoughts? Please be honest and if possible recommend some other good undergraduate business schools. Thanks!!</p>

<p>SAT: 1470/2140</p>

Physics (estimated 750+)</p>

<p>I'm taking all of these in June. </p>

<p>Class Rank: School doesn't release these but I'm in the top 22% of my class. </p>

<p>Course Load: All Honors or AP courses.
APs Taken Junior Year: AP US History (~5), AP Statistics (~5)
APs to take Senior Year: AP Calc BC, AP Macro & Microeconomics, AP Physics, AP French, AP Chinese, and AP English.</p>

<p>My stats are terribly average but what are my chances at Stern/Emory if there's any chance at all? Recommend other undergrad business schools too please! Thanks again.</p>

<p>Definitely not enough AP courses for such a low GPA. Class rank is also a little low so I’d say you have somewhat low chances. ECs aren’t that bad though.</p>

Juniors at my school aren’t allowed to take many APs and there aren’t many to choose from since most are reserved for seniors only. We are required to continue honors level classes in order to take the AP class. Thus most don’t have the space to take more than two. Thanks for your reply though!</p>

<p>Suny Binghamton and Lehigh both have great undergraduate business programs and so do tcnj, babson, bentley, and Boston university</p>
