NYU ED1 Discussion Thread

<p>Now that my app is finalized, anybody care to chance me for CAS? I haven’t even submitted my app yet but absolutely cannot stop worrying about being declined. Ugh.</p>

<p>3.58 UW GPA (school doesn’t weight GPAs)
2170 SAT (800 W/700 CR/670 M)
APs: Gov (3… not sending), Spanish Lang, Lang/Comp, Euro, Environmental Science
ECs: Editor-in-Chief of school newspaper, NHS member, Spanish Honor Society member, GSA member, Key club member… few other things that aren’t very important</p>

<p>Lol, you’re definitely in. There have been 2050/3.3 that got in, you’re average GPA and above average SAT, plus ED. 99% in.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m sure those people had far better ECs and more rigorous course loads than I do, though (or had some significant hooks).</p>

<p>I can always count on you to boost my self esteem sarora haha :)</p>

<p>Man, you worry too much. </p>

<p>Just write good essays. I should be the one worrying :P.</p>

<p>Btw, those people were not much better…CAS ED is not difficult with your stats.</p>

<p>Hey sarora, you’re applying ED to Stern?</p>

<p>Yes I am - ED2</p>

<p>Good luck. I am applying ED1, but then again I am so nervous about not getting in, even though I have pretty good stats. If I don’t get in, I’m going to be screwed for regular decision because I’m doing so bad this year. =(</p>

<p>Noldi, I’m seriously in the same position. Last year’s GPA of a 3.9 has dropped to a 3.2. I <em>NEED</em> to get in ED because most of my regular decision schools are going to decline mine.</p>

<p>Hah…I’m the opposite. </p>

<p>My GPA:</p>

<p>2.6 - 9th
3.3 - 10th
~3.5. - 11th
4.0 - 12th</p>

<p>I think you’ll get in Noldi.</p>

<p>Ouch. I definitely think the best course of action for you sarora is ED2 so they can see your improvement. Are your SATs and EC’s up to par at least?</p>

<p>and yeah Elj. I’m currently working on a 65 in AP Calc (which I’m trying to drop once I get a doctor’s note hopefully) and a 75 in AP Eco. ;_;</p>

<p>@Noldi - yeah…my father died before 9th grade. I had a responsibility for my family – we had no family here, I’m first gen. My mom had two surgeries. And while she was recovering, I had a health issue and I was hospitalized for a day. (both in hospital) I missed 20 days 9th and 15-20 10th. Grades dropped from straight 97% in H Alg, H Geom in middle school to flat out Cs.</p>

<p>I own a five figure registered corporation, though, and employ several people. I manage all my corporate finance. Also, I invest in the stock market adequately.</p>

<p>SAT is avg for Stern.</p>

<p>Well, I own a seven figure registered corporation and I employ hundreds of peopl— jk
Nahh but my brother and I are making a website to generate revenue through advertizing so I guess that’s my hands-on business extracurricular. :P</p>

<p>What were your SAT scores btw? I’m afraid my CR is low, 650. My math and writing are alright though - 710, 750, respectively. So, 2110.</p>

<p>2100 - 720, 680 M and CR respectively</p>

<p>ED I for CAS Economics</p>

<p>GPA: 3.64 Weighted (my school only does weighted; no ranks)
SAT I: 2230, 1500/1600 (780 CR/720 M)
SAT II: US History 740, Bio 700, Math IIc 730, Chem 640
APs: US History 4, Eng Lang 5, Calc AB 3, Chem 3</p>

<p>Sooooo my GPA really blows. Probably like a 3.2-3.3 unweighted.</p>

<p>thanks guysssss</p>

<p>Does anyone know if Stern requires you to take Calc in high school? I’ve finished up to Trigonometry Honors. Is that enough or will they require you to take a calculus course? I’m trying to drop my AP Calc course because I’m failing miserably.</p>

<p>No they don’t. You start with Calc I (or II or III but 95% take Calc I since business isn’t super math intense).</p>

<p>3-4 yrs of math. Have you taken precalc?</p>

<p>dleif - CAS is a low reach or high match ED.</p>

<p>Nope, I haven’t taken precalc.</p>

<p>I’m concerned because I saw this link: [Stern</a> Special Program Requirements](<a href=“How to Apply”>How to Apply)</p>

<p>Is trigonometry honors considered the same as precalc?</p>

<p>also another question; where do we mail our letters or recommendation to? Like the exact address.</p>

<p>Mail letters of recommendation go to this address: 665 Broadway, 11th Floor
New York, NY 10012. The “Contact Us” page is also always a few clicks away: [Contact</a> Us](<a href=“http://www.nyu.edu/footer/contact-us.html]Contact”>Contact Us)</p>

<p>Bah, screw it. I’m just going to suck it up and go to tutoring. Time to go pro-mode. Thanks azhong.</p>
