<p>There's only one way to find out and that is to APPLY. I have worse stats and I'm giving it a try. If I get rejected I won't shed a tear, but I'll know I tried.</p>

3

<p>I think you're right ein1. I posted my "chance" post yesterday and after reading what you said I feel pretty ashamed. The only thing is to try...but people do get curious of how they are doing out of the whole applicants.</p>

4

<p>ACT seems a little low. But I think you're a strong applicant. Try... and good luck!</p>

5

<p>NYU is now my first choice school that I wish to attend. So I am going to apply for sure. Do you think I should tell NYU that they are my 1st choice?</p>

6

<p>If NYU is your 1st choice, I think you should apply CAS...</p>

7

<p>I have already sent my apps in and I dont like internal transfer stuff. I knowe I will have a better shot at CAS but Stern is where I want to go.</p>

8

<p>u would stand a better chance in CAS, but if u really want to attend then apply, it will be tough. good luck</p>

9

<p>haha thanks Ein1, I know I don't have a chance either but I'm going to try. Your activities are great. Seems like you will get accepted.</p>

10

<p>I would apply Stern, give it a shot. I got in with just marginally higher/similar stats.</p>

11

<p>I applied (my app and stuff is all turned in). I just really want to get in.</p>

12

<p>You should tell them that they are your 1st choice school.</p>

13

<p>i think i got a godo chance cuz of ur rank and ec's are great, and the act is low but not terrible...btw why is ur name wharton if sterns ur first choice lol</p>
