<p>THINGS TO PUT INTO YOUR CONSIDERATION BEFORE BEING HONEST</p>
<p>so i moved here to cali when i finished my middle school in korea, strictly was educated in korean way without attending such international school starting from kindergarten. my first year was very rough and did not have a good gpa.</p>
<p>then as a sophomore, i did pretty good in regular classes getting mostly As (showing improvement, actually, WAS showing) then i got into all the APs and Honors in junior which totally screwed me over like no other.</p>
<p>my ultimate goal is to actually go to STERN. how crazy is it to even put an application there concerning my gpa and sat. soooo, for cas, i am trying to use a back door by going there get heck of a good gpa and transfer like a miracle. thats my dream.</p>
<p>OKAY</p>
<p>THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART**************QUESTION</p>
<p>so im just wondering, i know NYU scps is easy to get in (well idk, but i heard they have the lowest stats and as long as i do the hotel thing and speak other languages it helps.) should i put which for ED?</p>
<p>im really desperate guys, i really want to go to cornell but at the same time im afraid to do so, i am being slightly cocky about NYU's scps hotel management becuase i heard just a lot about how its highly accepted through out. </p>
<p>so please, which one should i ED.. Cornell? or NYU? for hotel management</p>
