<p>Im am currently a senior and have been looking at colleges. I have always wanted to attend college in NYC and wanted to know what my chances are of getting into NYU Stern or what other colleges I could attend in NYC that would be best for majoring in finance. I currently would like to go into investment banking.</p>

ACT- 27</p>

<p>EC:
Eagle Scout
Key Club
NHS
Multiple Sports(football, golf, cross country, and swimming)
Buccaneer Buddies (club that helps kids with disabilities)

<p>I greatly appreciate any and all input... Thanks</p>

<p>There isn’t much of a focus in your ECs (some of them appear as if you’re doing them as resume boosters), your ACT score is too low, and your class rank is not that impressive. What is your unweighted GPA? </p>

<p>I’m sorry, but I don’t think you have a reasonable chance. Focus your time and money on schools that you have a better shot at.</p>

<p>Can you chance me back?

<p>Do you have any suggestions on other colleges within NYC that will help give me a competitive edge in finance???</p>

<p>Is Fordham or Baruch any good?</p>

<p>My friend’s mom suggested Fordham. If you are set on being recruited by a top company/firm/wherever-you-want-to-be then you need to be at a target school. Fordham isn’t exactly a target but of the non-targets, you have a great shot there.</p>
