<p>Hey guys, I am in an awkward position. So, freshmen and sophomore year, I did not do anything and got horrible grades. Junior year, I buckled up and got myself together and got a 1 B. The twist is, that my course load was extremely difficult and my extracurricular activites are very good. </p>

<p>ACT - 34
GPA (UW) 3.3(yea ouch..i know)(2.8-->3.8) 4.5 Weighted
Couse load: I have taken 9 classes each year and 5 AP's 10th grade, and 7 AP's junior year.</p>

<p>EC's: Stock Market Club- Founder and President
Key Club - 3 years
Varsity Tennis - 3 Years
Speech and Debate Club -President (2 years)
Speech and Debate Club- VP (1 year)
Small computer science internship for 1 summer
DECA - 2 years (I won one local tournament)
I am a leader in my religious group: I organize events and conduct events on a weekly basis for 5 years.
Governors Page Program
Senators Page Program</p>

<p>Essays: I talk about my change using a clever metaphor. PM me if you would like to know.
Also, I talk about how I know what I want to do and my realization through high school. </p>

<p>My question is simple: Do I have a chance? After I took AP Economics, I fell in love into business. I have liked subjects before and contemplated about studying those in college, but after Economics, it was clear I wanted to go into Business in Finance(hence the club I started). Do I have a shot at these NYU Stern Early Decision?</p>

<p>Thanks Guys! I really appreciate the advice!</p>

<p>GPA is the only issue…but what REALLY separates you from all the other Stern apps? If you can answer that, you should be fine.</p>

<p>Thanks! Bump for more input</p>

<p>NYU stern is generally a competing school since it is one of the top business schools in the country. I think that your GPA is a big problem, but otherwise your app looks good. Regular decision is a definite reach, but ED will most likely give you a better chance. Overall, I’d say that you have a 50/50 chance of getting in</p>
