Likely to get into Columbia/Stern?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi! I'm new to this, so I hope I'm doing this right...thanks in advance for helping out! I'm a junior, and these are my stats:</p>

<p>SAT: Hopefully I'll bring it up 20 points to a 2270
SAT II: Taking them Saturday and October (Bio, US, Math I/Math II)
Unweighted GPA: A bit higher than 3.9
APs: Total of 11 APs in my 4 years of high school.
Many extracurriculars, clubs (2 leadership positions), and community service hours, and I plan on teaching sports this summer!</p>

<p>I think Columbia and Stern NYU don't offer early action, so I was wondering if there was a good chance for me getting into Stern NYU Regular Decision? My dream school is Columbia, but I am realistic, and I don't want to waste an early decision "chance" on a school I may not even have a chance in. Any thoughts on which school I'm more likely to get in? Thank you very much!!</p>

<p>Stern is easy to get into, granted I think it’s an extremely overrated school. If Columbia is your dream school, go for it.</p>

<p>Columbia is not likely. With a 2270 and I high rank, Stern is likely. And it does have ED.</p>

<p>Thanks guys! Why is it you think Stern is overrated? And do you think I could get in even regular decision? I think the acceptance rate for Stern was around 15% only, so I’m kind of nervous about applying ED for Columbia, which would lower my chances for Stern. Extremely smart kids at my school with 4.0 and 2380 were rejected from Columbia, so I’m not sure if I’m Columbia material…</p>

<p>These 2 schools are so different, the only thing they have in common is NYC. What do you want in a college?</p>
