Chances for NYU Stern vs. CAS

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Your EC’s are geared toward Stern by far. Ad com’s aren’t oblivious to this so you have your best shot at Stern. More than likely if you apply to CAS you might get declined due to the reason that your ec’s aren’t geared toward the college you’re applying to. You’re definitely a competitor for Stern, good luck!</p>

<p>If you get 700+ on your subject tests nyu should be a match regardless of which school you apply to. Good luck!</p>

<p>@DaneBrick Even for Stern? I feel like my GPA is low for Stern, even if i bring up my SAT score and do well on subject tests</p>

<p>your gpa isn’t that low since your class rank is high and rigor is good.</p>

<p>@DaneBrick‌ Great, thanks for the feedback! By the way, our school doesnt provide rank so I dont think NYU will see that</p>
