*A few science fair awards, Toshiba Exploravision Honorable Mention, but nothing major

Basically, I realize that I don’t want to pursue science, but I like math. I’m interested in business, but something more quantitative like Data Analytics/Computing, Stats, or Finance. Do I even have a shot at Stern with my lack of business experience?
Thanks, I’m a girl from NY btw.

With a 1530 SAT score, you do have a reasonable chance of being admitted to NYU-Stern, in my opinion. But your lack of business related activities & focus on medically related activities should be carefully handled in your essays and career goals discussion.

Yes you have a chance. I got in ED stern with a 3.76 unweighted gpa and 1530 SAT 800 Math 2. I did start a business tho. Just write essays that show why you’re interested in business.
