<p>First off, you can’t ED to both USC and NYU…</p>

<p>However, I think you’ll definitely get into Babson and you have a decent shot at both Stern and Marshall. I say decent because your GPA is too high.</p>

<p>If you apply ED to Stern, you cannot apply ED to Marshall.</p>

<p>If you apply ED to Marshall, you cannot apply ED to Stern. </p>

<p>As far as which is better, Stern has a better overall reputation, especially for doing Wall St. jobs. </p>

<p>Your course rigor will matter as well – how many AP/honors classes have you taken?</p>

<p>You list your GPA as out of 5 – what is your UW GPA? The average UW GPA for NYU 3.6-3.7 if yours is around 3.6~3.7 weighted, it’s going to be below average UW?</p>
