<p>Here's the stats:</p>
<p>Went to Stern for Undergrad
GPA: 3.753, Major in Finance and Management
GRE: Verbal 610 Quant 760
Recommendations: 1 from a partner at a trading firm, 1 from a previous Stern professor, 1 from a current math professor
Prereq classes: Currently taking them at Brooklyn College as a non-degree student</p>
<p>What I am most worried about is my low Verbal score. Would it affect my chances?</p>
<p>I don’t think so, you have pretty good chances.</p>
<p>BTW Courant Grad school is my DREAM.</p>
<p>since you are already a nyu student, speak to your advisor. better yet, walk over to the courant institute and speak with the dean. he will be able to give you a better chance review than anyone on this forum.</p>
<p>sorry, but high school students can’t “chance” people for GRADUATE school. there’s a different set of criteria that grad school ad coms use. it’s not like undergrad admissions. it’s not just numbers. it’s statement of purpose, your CV, recommendations and fit with the program.</p>
<p>to the OP: i think you should head over to The Grad Cafe (forum.thegradcafe.com), which is a CC-like site that’s geared to grad students. (i’m taking my GRE in November, ugh.)</p>
<p>i don’t think your verbal score is that low, especially if you’re going into math and trying to get into Courant. you’re actually in the 80th percentile. (that’s what my Princeton Review book says, anyway. i’m media student/cultural anthropology, so my GRE score matters more to my programs.)</p>
<p>i’d talk to your adviser. there should be a graduate school adviser in your current department or in your intended department in Courant. i talked to the adviser in my department in Steinhardt and she was really helpful.</p>
<p>sounds like a plan, thanks very much for your input guys.</p>
