<p>You really question if you have a chance? If I had to wager I’d say you get in (nothing is certain at NYU so I wouldn’t, but still). Being asian hurts a bit, but honestly statistically you fit right in, don’t take my word for too much because I’m not a student there (I want to go next year), but I’d expect you to get in.</p>

<p>with those stats, I think you should apply to Wharton or the upper ivies and keep Stern for RD because you are a sure-in.</p>

<p>Thanks for the chances. But will the C+ in Spanish hurt overall?</p>
