could somebody, please, evaluate my chances/or at least give me some advice - of getiing into NYU Stern? is there any chance for me to get in?
I know that my GPA literally destroys eyerything, what should I do to “cover” it a little?
also, I was thinking about choosing College of Arts and Science in NYU as a second choice.
please advise me anyways what should I do to increase my chances of getting into NYU Stern.
thank you, I will be very grateful for any help of yours.
I think NYU is unfortunately out of the question with your academic record. I would maybe try to go to a lower ranked school for business, do well, and then try to transfer in, but I don’t see any situation in which you are accepted.
could you please explain me why? @jarrett211
I just really do not get it. Since I am an international student, it is freaking obvious that some extracurriculars are DIFFERENT than those awesome standardized Leadership Teams, volleyball clubs, other super duper fantastic stuff that typical american person does in order to be a better human being in college. Fine, okay at this point. But I really do not get it why my 10hrs shift in a bank or accountancy office, all day long spent in an unpaid internship or being a Head in the National Finance club is worse than somebody’s attendance in state chess olympics, or, cheerleader group. I really, don’t, get that. Honestly, nothing new that my stats are not as good as they should be. They might have been better. But after this comment of yours I just realized, that nobody can be actually compared to another one. I am saying that with all respect of mine. Whatever. I am able to bumb my SAT into 2200. No problem. The only real bad thing is my GPA. But, so, there is maybe some circumstance under that. Maybe even with that awesome GPA I was in Top 25% in my school? Does it make a difference now, for you? So who the heck the NYU is taking? NASA workers? The children whose ancestor was Einstein? What do I have to do in order to get in there? Find another, next America or another new planet, continent? With all the respect from the deepest of my heart I would love to say, that there is no a person here who knows everything that much and who can that easily admit - “NYU is out of question here”.
Thank you for your evaluation. It at least motivated me to still continue with doing my thing.

Wait is your GPA 2.9/3.0 or 2.9-3.0/4.0? I interpreted it as the latter. If it is the latter, then I stand by what I said. If it is the former, then all you need to do is raise your SAT 100 points and you’ll be competitive.
@neverthmind
I think you state a false premise. Who said your 10 hour shift in a bank isn’t along the same lines as an EC? Lots of students have to work instead of being able to do sports or other ECs and admissions people are very used to taking that into account. So not sure why you are ranting about something no one said.
I think the comment was directed towards your stats, which are low for NYU. Unless, as was mentioned, that GPA is on a 3.0 scale. That would be unusual, but you are an international so what do we know?
