<p>Hello fellow CCers, just another Chance Me thread to relief my paranoia and anxiety for the upcoming university decisions. I really like NYU Stern for its outstanding business major. Few of my ECs are geared towards it like internship at the bank or my research paper on profit maximization of farmers. Anyhow, give it a read and tell me what you think! Any constructive feedback will be much appreciated. </p>
