<p>this blows.</p>
<p>you are not alone, nyu has had an interesting year, many great students no accepted</p>
<p>did you get in elsewhere</p>
<p>I didn't get in either, hopeful, despite thinking I would. yes, it does indeed blow, but life goes on.</p>
<p>did you have good ec's and was your essay creative?</p>
<p>top 6% is where you go hurt.</p>
<p>i got rejected by everything except for my safety, boston university</p>

</p>
<p>no way. I know someone from another school who got into stern who wasn't top 10%, so I can't really see that "hurting" this person.</p>
<p>I was only top 25% with a 31 ACT and I got in with merit money. LOTS of merit money.. That's really weird.. I'm sorry. I'm sure with those stats you got into many great schools, though!</p>
<p>I was top 30% (very very competitive international, no rank tho)
600V, 770M -- 700 M1, 770 M2
ok EC's and essays...accepted to stern.</p>
<p>Bad luck hopeful2007, you should have been waitlisted ateast. This is odd.</p>
<p>i got rejected too 1510 top 5%... but at least i got into unc oos. wth is going on this year, i thought the worst i'd do was get waitlisted</p>
<p>well i had a 1600 (2360 total) and got waitlisted</p>
<p>please tell me you guys did not have decent ec's. Because if i were you, i'd be going through hell right now.</p>
<p>Wow I didn't know competition was so tough this year!!! I got in with 1560 and 4.1 wt gpa, okay ecs, nothing spectacular, and they put me in the scholars program, which was only supposed to be for the top 15-20% or something.</p>
<p>My D got rejected, she is going to go to Fordham, her classmate got in with lower stats, blah ecs., and the same GPA</p>
<p>We also know some very quailifed students who got rejected as well.</p>
<p>3.9 UWGPA, 4.3 WGPA, 32, act, decent extracurriculars, but i like my essay and i got in. i kinda feel undeserving now seeing so many ppl better than me getting rejected. same thing w/washu. they waitlisted a TON of ppl who if i was an adcom, would've chosen over myself.</p>
<p>bleh, I feel like I wasted a year in high school for nothing. 1430 SAT, 4.3 WGPA, top 9% at an IB school, alright ec's. I got rejected from everywhere except Indiana U and UIUC. frustrated as hell.</p>
<p>I'm repeat what happened to me:</p>
<p>Rejected</p>
<p>1440/1600 on SATs
3.4 UW, 3.7 W
really really good ECs (don't feel like explaining)</p>
<p>I got in @ Wake Forest & RPI (half schol.) so I def. have good options, but I am kind of surprised I didn't get in. Kids in my school with 150+ points lower on the SATs, and lesser grades/ECs got in. </p>
<p>ah well, for the best: ceci est la vie.</p>
<p>I am a Stern Scholar with 1500 SAT and 32 ACT and rank 9/425. I was using NYU as a safety because I thought my stats were about right for NYU, but now I wonder if I got in because I'm from Kansas. I've been seeing on boards for other colleges, though, OP, that colleges waitlist or reject students who are too good and who probably won't go to NYU Stern if accepted. They have to protect their yield somehow. I think you seemed like too good of a student and Stern thought you'd probably go to Wharton, Sloan, Ross, Haas, or something like that. However, I read about a student who got rejected from some college in California and his counselor called the college and said that it was his first choice and that he would attend if accepted, so his decision was reversed and he went. If Stern really is your top choice, you could try to appeal your decision if NYU's decisions are not necessarily final.</p>
<p>"i got rejected by everything except for my safety, boston university"</p>
<p>Then something is clearly wrong with your applications. Do you mind giving us your stats?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Are Ross & Haas kids just that much more well rounded than Stern kids that you think they have a much more difficult programs to get into and therefore better? (i know that ross and haas are probably better overall, but at least in finance/accounting stern is up there). Because judging by sat's (coming from businessweek), stern has, on average 100 points higher sat scores than those of Ross and Haas kids.</p>
<p>& Maybe some people with high sat's just did not have the ec's or w/e to be desireable as stern scholars (pure spectulation).</p>
