<p>besides the binding contract. </p>
<p>i'm wondering if ED can increase your chances? i know on nyu's site it says that it doesn't. but you never know.</p>
<p>my SAT is an 1830, i know that's a bit on the low side but i've seen some get in with scores in the 1800's and such. this isn't really a chance thread but, do any of you think that could really hinder me?</p>
<p>yup, ED does increase you chances - every school says that ED doesn’t, but if you check out the acceptance rates for ED and RD for stern, they are higher during the ED round.</p>
<p>your SAT will hurt you. Stern is more numbers driven in terms of admission and their median SAT is 1440 for CR+math. make up for it by having a great gpa + EC’s + essay but still your SAT may prevent you from getting in. but you never know. if you’re not a senior, i’d suggest retaking your SAT again after studying very hard for it, or taking the ACT.</p>
<p>well, i’m not applying for Stern, i’m going for CAS, and i’d say my gpa/EC’s/essays are pretty decent. and yes i am a senior</p>
<p>it’s too late for me to take the SAT again, so i’m kinda stuck with this score. >.></p>
<p>just how much higher is the acceptance rate by the way? do you have a percentage?</p>
<p>oh sorry for some reason i thought i saw stern in there -___-</p>
<p>well for cas you could get accepted, but you would likely get LSP’ed because of your SAT score.</p>
<p>I got into CAS E.D. with an 1860.
Don’t lose hope.
I feel I was admitted because of my strong extra curriculars and essay.</p>
<p>@justspice, what’s LSP’ed? lol</p>
<p>@mindfreak2011, thank you. i really hope i get accepted. i also took 2 subject tests and got a 710 in spanish w/listening and a 680 in literature, do you think that makes up for it a little? and congrats on your acceptance :)</p>
