<p>From what you gave it looks like you have pretty decent 55-65% chance, though what are your thoughts on your essay and recommendations, two things which might help you stand out more?</p>

<p>you’re in. My sister got a 690 on her math section of SAT and she got in.</p>

<p>my brother also goes to stern as a sophomore if that helps… and thanks for the response:)</p>

<p>Your SAT is pretty solid as well as your GPA. Keep in mind everyone who applies to Stern has a fairly good GPA 93-98 but the SAT isn’t great for everyone so you have an edge there. I would recommend taking time in your essays and working hard to show Stern why you want to pursue business and why Stern is the school for your needs. I know many people who have had lower stats and have gotten in but it was the essay that made the difference for them.</p>
