<p>Can you tell us your SAT scores? Or are you relying on your ACT score only?</p>

<p>I have only taken the ACT and probally won’t take the SAT</p>

<p>Chances at Stern are average, might get in might not. Nothing stands out really.</p>

7

<p>Cool…any recommendations on other things I could do to improve my chances???</p>

<p>Why won’t you take the SAT? Your ACT score is lousy (sorry, but why bother sugar coating?) and unless you have a magic 8 ball, you can’t tell what the future scores will be. Retake the ACT and take the SAT, perhaps twice.</p>

<p>There are a million kids with high GPAs from schools that give out A’s like candy. While I’m the first to say that standardized tests aren’t the end-all, an adcom will see a 26 and disregard your grades.</p>

<p>As-is, very low to any of them. If your ACT creeps into the mid-30 range, or a 22xx SAT, you have a pretty strong chance.</p>
