<p>What are my chances for NYU CAS vs. Stern, RD vs ED?</p>

<p>Wow, great test scores, GPA is a little low (too late to pick up?) EC's look OK, looks like you can write and that's a big help with NYU's creative answer prompts.</p>

<p>ED is the way to go if it's your top school and money isn't much of an issue, Stern would be near impossible to get into with a 3.4 GPA.</p>

<p>Being a female from NJ might actually work a bit against you as well</p>

<p>Good Luck!
Try for CAS ED, might very well get into the General Study Program, they seem to accept kids that have either a great GPA and lower test scores or vice versa.</p>

<p>i doubt being from NJ will hurt you. anyway you have everything. GPA is not high but i have seen people get in with similar GPAs (not in general studies either)</p>

<p>I seen 3.4 GPAs get in but hey it's always best to have it the highest you can. The rest sounds pretty impressive.</p>
