<p>noooooooooooooo</p>

4

<p>but in colllegeboard it says 1% have gpa of 2.5-2.9 and 10% have a gpa of 3.0-3.25 dont i fall in that 11 percent of the student body?</p>

5

<p>strikes against you:</p>

<p>international student
low SATs
no leadership positions in your ECs</p>

<p>and no, students with those GPAs just don’t get into Stern.</p>

6

<p>ok thanks, what if i go for BU for 2 years and then get a gpa of 3.5 and higher would i be able to transfer?</p>

<p>woah…
transfer admission is WAYY harder than regular admission. Your stats, by themselves, won’t really get you very far when it comes to Stern Admissions. Transfering…now that’s a totally different ballgame…a LOT more difficult to do. If you can pull it off, then great!
There’s always grad school, however…</p>

<p>Good Luck :)</p>
