<p>Your chances are pretty good considering your grades and leadership, from what I can tell although I only know 2 people who go there now. I am also hoping to get into Stern class of 2020 :slight_smile: The only thing I would tell you is that I know for a fact that their financial aid is horrible, even the need-based. Other than that though I definitely think you could get accepted! </p>

<p>That sounds awesome :slight_smile: My family in China will hopefully fund me so not receiving sufficient FA isn’t a big problem. See you there in Fall 2016 haha</p>

<p>I think your GPA is a little on the low side (NYU states at their info sessions that they look for about a 3.85 unweighted) so I might try to get your grades up a little bit, but overall, I wouldn’t stress about it because your SATs are slightly in the upper range and you’ve got some hooks.</p>
