Hi I’m applying to NYU Stern ED II, which has the same deadline as RD does. Here is my stat
SAT 1: 2270
SAT II: Math II: 800 Chinese : 800
UW GPA: 3.5
Weighted GPA: 4.1
EC
1.Marching Band
2.President for investment club in my school, which I donated 30k to start with and profits go toward school.
3.Started a private equity with my friends, so basically they give me their money and I guarantee of 15% return and the rest is mine. It has been successful.
4.Parents donated a building to my school, which is more than 600k(does this help?lol)
5.Worked with a world renowned celebrity(can’t say who) and it’s on the news. We helped him to take the “shell” of a public traded company, so this way we won’t have to go through IPO.
6.Currently managing a 5million yuan(Chinese dollar) fund.
So basically, I have an average GPA but OKAY SAT scores. The highlight of my application is that 1. My family has many business connections and 2. I’m from a very wealthy family and 3. I show a strong interest in finance.
From what I heard, business schools want students who have strong connections and wealth, so they are beneficial to the school’s reputation. I don’t know if this is true though. I do not know whether my financial accomplishments will balance off my average gpa. Please chance me
