<p>Essays should be decent if not outstanding.</p>

<p>Uh, so… which school are you applying to? CAS? Stern?</p>

3

<p>Stern is what i’m shooting for. Undecided if not.</p>

4

<p>I’m not sure I understand you. You’re applying for Stern, but undecided? What?</p>

<p>Regardless, for Stern your ACT scores are on the low side, I think. Using this conversion table (<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools)%5B/url%5D”>www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/highered/ra/sat/satACT_concordance.pdf)</a>, your composite score is equal to a 1340/1600. Ideally, you’d have 700+ on each section of the SAT, so I guess that translates into an ideal composite score of 32. Higher test scores NEVER hurt.</p>

<p>i’m done with ACT. took it three times.</p>

<p>does stern have it’s own ACT/SAT score range?</p>

6

<p>A search of Google using “nyu stern average act score” turned up the following.</p>

<p>So it might not be so bad for you after all. You’re still in the low end of the scale, but getting admission certainly looks possible.</p>

7

<p>so do i have a fair shot?</p>

<p>your stats are a bit low for Stern. the ppl that i know in Stern already did business internships in high school. you might be put in GSP with your SAT/ACT stats but you’re guarenteed a ride to Stern in less than two years. i think you’d have a fair shot for CAS/GSP-CAS, but you wouldn’t have a chance to transfer to Stern from there. (4.0 GPAs get turned down)</p>
