<p>Academic Stats:
Unweighted GPA -93.984
Weighted GPA - 95.79
Class Rank: top 10% at least - (my school only gives 5 points for H. or AP classes so there are a lot of kids above me who took easy course loads while I took the hardest classes available)

SAT II's - 740 Molecular Biology, 780 US History, 650 Literature

<p>I know this may seem unimportant but it would really mean a lot to me if someone just gave me their honest opinion about this....it doesn't bother me one bit if you truly think I don't stand a chance, just say something</p>

3

<p>You're stats seem really impressive. I got into CAS ED with lower stats.</p>

4

<p>SATs are gonna hurt you big.</p>

5

<p>The only thing you need to work on are those SAT's. Try to get above a 1450 for a decent chance, as stern likes to see high math scores.</p>

6

<p>Stern is the hardest school and seems stat driven. I got into CAS with 2030 combined (550 math) but mine was a writing/english focus. Try the ACT's maybe. GPA and rigor of coursework look real good, as do SAT II's. Once that stuff is written in stone, just focus on killer essays and short answers, try to get some over-the-top recs too!</p>

7

<p>650's for math!!. there no way for finance maybe u can for international business.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good shot, although the math score may hurt, I got in with only a slightly higher math score so no worries. But, I applied ED. Best of luck :]</p>
