NYU Stern Chance of Admissions?

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

Hi all,

NYU is my dream school & I would like to major in business. However, I am afraid that I won’t get into NYU Stern.
I’ve read online that if you don’t get into Stern, NYU will just flat out reject you and won’t consider your second choice college. This makes me nervous because I would love to attend NYU, but I’m afraid if I apply to Stern and don’t get in I will ruin my chances.

So, should I apply to the CAS to raise my chances of overall admission, or should I take the risk and apply to Stern?
There are a few majors in CAS that I am interested in (journalism, politics), so it wouldn’t be a terrible idea, but business is still my #1 choice.

Stats:
AP courses: 6 total by end of senior year(scored a 3 on WHAP, 5 on APUSH, and 5 on Lang so far)
cumulative GPA: 4.0 uw/4.2 w
SAT: 1320/1600
ACT: 29 regular, 31 superscore

ec:
-4 years of varsity track
-3 years of varsity cross country
-2 years of leadership
-I have a job, and I was promoted to a management position over the summer
-Secretary of Youth Advisory Council
-National Honor Society

I know my test scores aren’t the strongest, but they’re not terrible. I’m hoping my GPA can make up for the loss, but I’m not sure what Stern focuses the most on.

So, my question is:

Are my stats strong enough for admission to Stern, or should I stick with CAS?

Bro you have exactly same scores as me… :smiley: sat 1320 here and gpa perfect xd.

you can definetely get in but you need really good personal essay and supplementary essay! but cant you send to both schools? STERN is really competetive ,so you could have CAS as safeschool

i wont send application to nyu , because of financial reasons .-.

i hope you will get in!

I got into Stern ED1 with a 3.8 UW 4.9 W and 1340 SAT. It’s definitely possible but still a crapshoot. You’ll get equal consideration for CAS, they told me that over the phone. Take the risk, it’s a tough road ahead if you want to transfer
