<p>[/ul]General Comments: I’m still in COMPLETE SHOCK and I can’t believe I’ll be attending Stern next year!! Despite all my setbacks (cliche ECs, low GPA) I still made it. For those of you like me, who practically memorized these NYU stats threads, don’t give up! Your hard work WILL pay off, and the schools that don’t realize that don’t deserve you anyways! GOOD LUCK! NYU STERN CLASS OF 2019!!!</p>
