Guys, I really want to get into Stern, but I feel that my SAT and IB grades really pull me down. My sat grades is due to working full time. Do you think I stand a chance? Also, any recommendations on where else I should apply to?

I think as long as you get good recommendation letters and have awesome essays, you have a decent shot of getting in. What’s your GPA?

Thanks for the reply! We don’t have GPA or class rank at my school, only IB scores. However, I scored the top in the school in 2 subjects and one of the top in another. I do not know if they will factor it in though?
