You can’t apply for a master’s straight out of high school…

Regardless, you need to tell us your UW GPA, even though your weighted is a bit low. Your SAT math is pretty low as well, especially for Stern.

If you apply, be sure to emphasize your role in your family business on both your application and essays. Good luck!

Don’t apply to Stern, your math score would make it impossible.
You should be OK for Tandon.
