NYU Stern Chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hi, so I applied ED to NYU Stern, thinking that I was set and all to get in, but now I’m starting to have doubts. Would someone with experience/knowledge give my app a look and tell me my chances? Thanks.

GPA of 4.13 Weighted, our school only reports weighted (UW of 3.51 ish), and our school doesn’t report rankings, although weighted I know I am about 50th in a school of about 300. I put weighted on the Common App, don’t know if UW is available from transcript.

I have 10 AP credits:
Chem 5, USH 4, Enviro 5, AP Bio 5, Calc BC 5 on both AB/BC, Stats 3, Gov 5, Lang 5, Physics1 4.
as well as a bunch of honors classes. I also have 4 years of Latin (2 honors, 2 normal), but IDK if that actually helps.

For my senior year, I’m dual enrolled at the local university, Ohio State, taking 8 classes over 2 semesters for about 27 credit hours (max of 30). Those are: Ceramics, Prin. Microecon, Prin. Macroecon, Brit Lit Med. to 1800, Chinese 2 &3, Public Speaking, and Intro to Philosophy. As a bit of context, applying to the dual enrollment program is about the same as applying to OSU itself, if not a little harder.

My testing is relatively high with SAT of 2310 (CR 770, M 800, W 740) and ACT of 35. I also have 4 SAT II (Bio E 790, Math II 730, USH 700, Chem 800)

As for extracurriculars, I have Speech and Debate team, which I wrote the essay on, and a few other clubs, work experience over the summer, and about 120 volunteer hours from several sources, though no sports. I feel that the essay I wrote was pretty good, and I even went full try-hard on the “Why NYU” short essay.

Thanks for your input and help, BTW.

ECs are a little weak, but your test scores should more than compensate. Deferred, then accepted at the worst.

Your test scores seem really good. The only thing holding you back is ur ecs

Ah, OK, thanks guys. Just curious, what would be considered strong or ateast average ECs?

Your SAT/ACT and AP scores are fantastic, and what were the other clubs you didn’t mention? Because with speech, debate, and others along with the hours your ECs seem pretty good. Your unweighted gpa may be slightly lower, but your profile is great. I think you have a very good chance, good luck and thanks for chancing me too :slight_smile:
