<p>Your SATs could hurt you. Stern is really pushing for 1400+ to boost its rankings. However, your ECs look very good, especially a devoted interest to business. Plus, being Asian and from Jersey helps IMO (as that's a good % of Sternies). I'd say you have a good chance, but not a sure thing, depending on how strict they want to go with SATs this year.</p>

<p>HAHA, if anything I would say this hurts in the admissions process, being a Jersey Asian is not doing anything for Stern's diversity.</p>

<p>I agree plus Stern is a lot better than Mich Ross ugrad in terms of SAT/gpa.
The USNEWS rank is worthless.</p>

<p>well nyusternman, you cant really compare ross and stern in terms of SAT and gpa b/c ross school of business doesn't take SAT scores or high school gpa b/c its a upper level school. They take kids after their soph year. btw, i also got into umich. </p>

<p>and as for being asian, yea i agree that won't help me at all. most kids who apply/go to stern are either caucasian or asian. </p>

<p>anybody else with chances?</p>
