really just frustrated

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, I am a senior at Piscataway High School in NJ. I really would like to major in business, so I am considering either NYU stern or Umich Ross. I know that Wharton is out of the question for me.</p>

<p>Stats:
3 superb teacher recommendations from physics teacher, english teacher, and math teacher. My physics teacher invented DSL by the way.</p>

<p>SAT: low 780 math 600 critical reading and ...550 in writing
SAT 2: 700 math2, 700 physics
Rank: 5/550
Asian (south korean)
GPA: at least above 96 (unweighted)
Senior Courses: AP calc, Ap english, Ap physics, honors economic seminar, and honors business organization and management</p>

<p>Work experience: helped my father start a business and many times, authorized and operated it extensively (health food store about 4000 sq ft)</p>

<p>Outside Activity:
1. School newspaper for 3 years
2. Science league for 4 years (didnt place anything)
3. Future Business Leaders of America: Won 2 state competitions in 2nd place: business plan and American Enterprise; in my Junior year, NJ state champion in business plan and attended national leadership conference in Chicago and won top 10 award for business plan
4. School tennis (2 years)</p>

<p>Volunteer hours: during the summer of 07' volunteered at the senior citizen center 3~4 hours DAILY. I have a great letter saying that I was their best volunteer of all time. And that I was really dependable, and had great work ethic.</p>

<p>I also need extensive financial aid. I am willing to sleep on the street, live in the library, or just move in with a household to save dorm room expenses. So that will make it around 36k per year. </p>

<p>Please...can anyone realistically tell me if I have a chance at these colleges? If not, what other undergraduate business schools should I consider? I am making an early decision for stern or ross.</p>

<p>anyone going to help me?</p>

<p>Stern will be a REACH. Scores are not high enough. Not sure about Ross though.</p>

4

<p>Your teacher invented DSL? What?</p>

5

<p>Stern is gonna be a REACH with THOSE SAT scores</p>

6

<p>what if I manage to get 780 math. 700 critical, and at at least 650 in writing? (i was never good at timed writing nor time reading) I always ace essays in english classes and my teacher always commends me on my writing skills.</p>

<p>hello? is anyone going to help me?</p>

<p>The only thing I found interesting about your application was the teacher who invented DSL, so I cross-checked the names of key figures in the DSL project with names of teachers at Piscataway HS. None of them matched. I don't feel like I can trust much of what you are saying. Regardless, your test scores are probably too low for both schools and especially for Stern. Anyone can say "uh...I'll bring up this and this and this". Go do it, then come back with your final profile.</p>

<p>I just found out that University of Michigan does not admit freshman for ross. If I do apply to University of Michigan, which school should I apply to? Engineering?</p>
