@ilovecollege1998 GPA is a bit low for stern but your EC’s seem to make up for that. I’d say you definitely have a chance from what you’ve told me. How’s your essay & recommendations??
I have gotten pretty positive feedback on my personal statement, and I am still working on the “Why NYU?” Essay.
As for recommendations-
English Teacher, developed a good relationship last year.
Pre-Calc Teacher, he really liked me and I excelled in his class
I’ve also gotten a rec from one of the people on my team from JP Morgan who went to Stern. He holds a high position within the team.
Hi, I’m applying through HEOP steinhardt. My stats are as follows: M: 670, V: 470 and W: 550. GPA: 95.06. Did anyone hear anything about information session yet?
I did early decision for NYU HEOP.
Gpa-84.7
Sat-1650(470 Crit/650 math/530 writing)
I don’t know much about HEOP, but I know that the average CR+M for Stern is 1450 ish, and GPA is generally Top 20% ish.
For any NYU school your SAT is pretty low, though I’m not sure if apply to HEOP makes any difference. I think you could get in due to your EC’s and with a good essay, but I would make sure you have some safety schools if you don’t.
Also, I’m not entirely sure where you heard that Early Decision is more competitive – it’s a lot less competitive than applying regular decision because less people are willing to commit to a single school without having a chance to compare financial aid packages, so the applicant pool is smaller. ED isn’t for everyone obviously, but I just wanted to let you know that it’s not as competitive as RD. I applied to Tisch for film ED1 specifically because there is a smaller applicant pool and I know I want to attend NYU.
@16eforeman hey, HEOP is directed towards educationally disadvantaged students, so it would be okay to have lower SAT scores. I did end up applying early decision! thank you.
