@fudgeonxz99 did u apply to lsp as ur first choice or did u go the CAS 1st LSP second route?
Hi! I am currently a junior, and I plan on applying ED to NYU as an Economics major! Currently, I am taking AP Physics 1, APUSH, Pre Calc Honors, English 3 Honors, and Spanish 3 (also waterpolo/swim). My GPA is a 3.72 (will raise to a 3.77 if I get a 4.0 second semester). The problem is - my freshman year GPA was a 3.43, so I have a very good upwards trend. Do you think Stern will understand that? Sorry about all of the questions… Also, I have developed an interest in business throughout high school, as I am in FBLA, President of Future Investors, and I am on the finance team for a robotics team. I also have a 34 ACT! (I took the SAT a few times… But it was not even close to my ACT, so I will not be sending those)
Also, how do you like Stern, and NYU in general? I have yet to visit, but my brother visited and he did not like the campus style so I am just very unsure.
oops meant to post thast in another thread…
