Hey there! NYU is need-blind for American citizens, so it doesn’t put you at an advantage. You have pretty diverse ECs and notable leadership roles. Your GPA is on the lower side though, as well as your SAT math score since business schools like those strong in math. Your chances for CAS are definitely larger. Write some killer essays & good luck!

I think you’re stronger in CAS than in Stern because that Math score is a bit too low for Stern standards.

Go for CAS, you’re probably not going to get in Stern. Gluck
