<p>I’m assuming you’re applying to Stern?</p>

<p>I know kids who have gotten in with similar stats. Just make sure you write a good essay and have teachers who know you well write recs.</p>

3

<p>Is a 28 on the ACT low for Stern?</p>

4

<p>yes, i am applying to Stern. Also, I forgot to include it - my class rank is 43/498.</p>

5

<p>I know NYU’s overall ACT middle 50% was like 28/29 to 31.</p>

<p>I imagine that Stern is probably slightly higher.</p>

<p>28 is kind of low but if the OP does get 32 there shouldn’t be much of a problem.</p>

6

<p>Oh, I quickly read your predicted score as your actual score. NYU’s admissions from what I seen is pretty holistic. I know kids who were LSP-ed with 31+ SAT scores.</p>

7

<p>I got the 32!!</p>

<p>You just look like you’re one of many applicants applying to Stern. What makes you special? Stern has a low acceptance rate. ( About 20% ED I have heard.)</p>

<p>BTW, being Asian really screws you. ( I feel the pain too :P)</p>
