<p>you should get in as long as you dont mess up your SATs and SAT subject tests</p>

<p>you're pretty much in. Stern isn't really that hard to get in if you have good grades and test scores, along with decent ECs. Stern has a pretty low yield (about 40% i think), so they will accept several qualified kids (unlike wharton, MIT etc, where tons of qualified applicants are rejected due to incredibly high yield rates). you should be fine. try getting an SAT score of atleast 2100 to maximize your chances</p>

<p>Thanks for all reply's ! However, I do have a couple of questions.
What does "screwing up the SAT II's" entail?? I got a 680 on my U.S HIstory (lol i know), does that count as "screwing up"?? Also what SAT II's does Stern require or recommend? Again Thanks for all Replies!!!</p>

<p>i don't think you even need SAT IIs for Stern, but I think they'll look favorably at high SAT II Math scores, and the second one can be pretty much any subject of your choosing. btw, what are your SAT scores so far? if you havent taken them, try getting atleast a 2100 to maximize your chances.</p>

<p>SAT IIs are required for all NYU colleges, with the notable exception of some programs in Tisch. Stern definitely requires SAT IIs and probably yields the greatest percentage of NYU who've actually taken them. 680 is not a poor score for an SAT II, it is pretty good in fact. Try not to worry too much, you'll be fine but most likely you'll need a 2150+ to get in (unless you're applying early, 2100+). Good luck.</p>
