<p>I finally received my class rank today and all the other official stuff needed.</p>

<p>GPA (unweighted): 3.75, weighted is 3.83</p>
<p>Class rank: Top 19%(OUCH)</p>
<p>1 Honors and 1AP: Calculus AB(5 on exam)</p>
<p>SAT I:
new SAT: I am taking them in October, got a 1280(M + V) in June, but have practiced a lot since then and I think I am in position to get at least a 1400 (M+V) since I have been scoring around there in the blue book</p>

<p>I think I have have an above average essay and great teacher recs.</p>
<p>I plan to go into business. I think NYU Stern is a huge reach, but here is my scheduale for senior year(the bulk of it):
AP Computer Science
AP Calculus BC
AP Physics C
AP Italian 5
AP Statistics
Oracle 2- Honors</p>
<p>I know it's a reach for me, but is it possible if I do well for 1st semester in senior year and send midyear report(or 1st marking period report since my school does that), I have a chance? OR should I just go for regular NYU.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>i think you should go for regular nyu, which is prolly a bit of a reach for you too, i think stern could be unattainable sorry</p>
<p>it'll be tough for you. i was from nj, higher gpa than you, higher sats, high sat 2's, higher rank, AND recruited for tennis and i got put in the general studies program. so i'll eventually be in stern in 2 years.</p>
<p>I forgot SATIIs: Math IIC- 800, Physics- Taking in November</p>
<p>If I can get my SATs up to around 1400 M+V(What I have been scoring on the blue book), and send in my Midyear report which I am working my butt off for all As, should I still try for Stern or just go NYU.</p>
<p>If you really want to go, apply!</p>
<p>I got into Stern with a 1280 SAT I, a 3.5 unweighted GPA, working for my dad, and two extracurriculars (community service & piano lessons). I had a hard senior year course load, like yours, but my grades weren't the best. The only thing I really had going for me was an awesome essay and good letters of rec.</p>
<p>I think what you have far exceeds that.</p>
<p>If Stern is the place you want to be, go for it. Don't let the statistics get you down, and definitely don't let the other responses get you down.</p>
<p>If a sub-par resume like mine can get in, you should, too.</p>
<p>Oh, and I was in about the 24% of my HS class</p>
<p>DavidJewlian did you get into Stern last year? Who did you get your letter of recommendation from?</p>
<p>DavidJewlian brightens my day, good luck all! He has the luck of the Irish or the Jewish???? haha</p>
<p>what do you mean by "OR should I just go for regular NYU."?</p>
<p>stern is a bit more selective, try CAS</p>
<p>I'm in the Stern class of 2008, entered in fall of 2004, if that answers your question</p>
