I’m a junior in high school and stern is my number one choice. Can everyone that got in post their scores and any advice please so i can see how to improve?
Thanks
Hey,
I was accepted to Stern with a full-ride scholarship.
My SAT score may not be strong in comparison to other applicants, but it was the highest in my small, public high school (Combined: 2010, CR: 720, Math: 590 (very low), Writing: 700). My weighted GPA was a little over a 97 when I applied and a 97.75 on the transcript sent for my mid-year report. I’m ranked third in my senior class. I only listed National Honor Society (President) and Chemistry Club as my extracurriculars. I think my essay was very well-written, probably my best college essay. My college counselor knows me very well since I do daily service for her, so I’m assuming that my counselor recommendation was effective, and I had two teacher recommendations, one from my Algebra 2/Trigonometry and College Now teacher and another from my AP U.S. History teacher. I also took several AP and honors courses throughout my four years of high school.
I don’t believe there was anything necessarily remarkable about my application, but it was enough to get me in.
@latina97 wow congrats on the scholarship. That is really impressive.
