What chances do I have of getting into Stern?? I know my stats are a bit low-ish for Stern and I’m Asian American (probs a disadvantage)…thanks!! :slight_smile: I’m very nervous about decision day.

Also,
I put Steinhardt - Applied Psychology and NYU Shanghai as my alternatives. Please chance me on those if you can! Thanks!

Hope you get in

Pray that you get in! did you apply to UPenn …with your economic background, you might get full aid! Also, Harvard - Economics - again you will get full aid including boarding and lodging - that way, you do not have additional burden. Also, Princeton - they give most scholarship …Economics or Financial Eng. etc.

@kg2013 lol no. My stats are not even that good…I’d rather go to NYU Stern bc of the opportunities

Just wondering, did you get in?
