<p>I think you have a pretty good shot! GPA is a tad lowish for Stern, but good scores and EC’s! </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I think it’s a low reach.
You have all good standardized test scores though, so I would send them all.</p>

<p>You look good except you seem to be weak in math. It seems that you are a very strong English/History student, when Stern looks for students that are extremely strong in math. I would say that you have a solid chance.</p>

<p>hey I’m really sorry to do this but I’m a junior right now and its eerie how close I am to your situation. I had a quick scenario I hope someone can help me with cause I know its early (since im a junior) but lets just pretend I was in the exact situation as nyc707 I want to work on wallstreet (preferably i-banking) and I don’t know what to decide and I would like to make a decision early. My dilemma is that I will definitely be applying to Fordham early action and am 200% sure I will be accepted. I need to decide whether to also apply early decision to NYU CAS or Stern. At CAS I would study econ and at Stern I would probably study finance. I would most likely be accepted to CAS and Stern is something of a reach. I need to decide whether to apply to Stern or CAS and what it comes down to is that CAS is something of a sure thing and I don’t know if it is worth the risk to take a shot at Stern because if I am denied I will wind up at Fordham. Can someone please help me? (
Just for arguements sake lets pretend my stats are the same as NYC707 because I don’t have time right now to type all that out and my stats are in the same basic league)</p>

<p>Please reply on the thread or PM me</p>

<p>Hey no problem man I was done with this thread anyway. If you want my advice i’d hedge my bet and go CAS just cause NYU is def better then Fordham. Good luck maybe ill see ya at NYU hopefully</p>

<p>Fordham is still a really good school, even though NYU is better. You have to ask yourself whether you would prefer to study Economic (either at CAS or STern) or Finance (at Stern). Personally, I would just apply RD to NYU if you still feel undecided next year.</p>

<p>Hard to say for stern… I’m an ED kid and I’ve seen a lot a lot of accepted/rejected stats</p>

<p>A lot of applicants with high stats were rejected, while some who were not as qualified were accepted For example, a student with a 3.8uw, and 2180 I recall, another with a 3.5ish uw, and 2300, both rejected but seemed very qualified. while your EC’s seem pretty generic, your scores are a big low… I had a 3.6uw, 3.9w, 2130 and applied to CAS(accepted).<br>
So your stats are fit for CAS but sterns still a reach</p>

<p>does anyone know the average stats for Stern applicants, like SAT ACT GPA and if the recession has at all affected the number of applicants…cause everyone knows Stern is pricy</p>

<p>Average Stern GPA: 3.76 (from website)
Average Stern SAT Score: 1445 (not including writing) [from website)
Stern ACT Range (middle 80%): 29-33 (from Newsweek, a few year old)</p>

<p>NYU in general has had an increase in applicants, so Stern probably has too.</p>
