<p>How are my chances???</p>

<p>Chances for RD are okay, if you really really want to get into Stern ( first or second choice) then apply ED, because Stern is one of the only business schools where early decision has a good impact on our acceptance. Is your rank UW? It it is don't worry, I got into Stern ED with a 25% rank UW.</p>

<p>i think you are in</p>

<p>nirali, i'm pretty sure the OP is a senior since he said he will update with 7th semester grades - so ED isn't an option for him.</p>

<p>oh oops, well in that case, I still think you have a good chance RD. Rock the essay!</p>

<p>lt.milo - thnx! ..are you a stern student? nyu student?</p>

<p>NiraliMag- thnx! .. i feel pretty good about my essay and my statements. i gave them to a few English teachers for edit / review and they all loved what i wrote. wanna take a look and see what u think? btw, congrats on ur acceptance!</p>

<p>the one thing im worried about is my gpa, ranking (they're only gonna go up by a little), and the fact that my resume lacks business-related aspects (DECA, internship, etc). oh and i hear getting into Stern RD is damn near impossible. ><;</p>

<p>I think you have a great chance! Your grades shouldn't hurt you that badly if your school is competitive? Your SAT's are definitely on par with stern. The only thing is that while your have leadership positions in your extra curricular activities, there isn't some that makes you "pop"... but overall I think you have a very good chance!</p>

<p>also thanks for the chance!</p>

<p>Your rank seems low but im certain your scores and ECs will make up for that. your looking good. Good luck:D</p>

<p>thanks for the chance</p>

<p>I think you have a fantabulous chance! no joke, you've got a lot of things going for you!! Not to mention your amazing SAT scores.. great leadership roles.. also summer programs! YOU ARE A SHOE IN BAHRUNY!</p>

<p>hehe poke. poke.
much love,
:)
ps hope it made you smile, and above is true.</p>

<p>by the way it took me about 15 minutes to get on here cuz of the lazy, lagging, someimtes lame connection to CC... ah, stuff i do for you bahruny, you know... ;)</p>

<p>Lobzz - thnx and np :]
liz5354 - lol tyty so much ;]</p>
