Should I apply RD or EDII to Stern?

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

<p>Hello everybody,</p>

<p>I am currently an international student looking to apply to NYU-Stern. I am interested in a concentration in Business economics here.</p>

<p>I am contemplating whether I should apply RD or EDII to stern. Stern as a business school is amazing and I would definitely consider attending but I am not sure if I am ready commit 100% to it, especially when I have other universities that I would much rather attend (Brown, Northwestern). But if I apply RD, I am afraid that I will not be accepted through the RD process due to the lower acceptance rate.</p>

<p>Here are my questions:</p>

<ol>
<li>Is applying RD going to hinder my admission chances, and by how much? </li>
<li>Is the acceptance rate for EDII a lot higher than that of RD?</li>
<li>With my current scores, how much chance do I have of getting in through the RD process?</li>
</ol>

<p>Here are my stats:</p>

<p>SAT: 2240, (CR 720, M 720, W 800)
IB : 38/42, 39/45 (with core points)
Subject Tests: MathII 780</p>

<p>Confident of good recommendation letters, good range of EC's but nothing at national level.</p>

<p>I am looking forward to your comments! Thank you :)</p>

<p>You have good enough credentials to get in RD. But in the end its up to you to decide how much you love NYU</p>

<p>If you ED you will have a better chance - Your CR+M at 1440 is not really outstanding or anything for Stern and I think most people in Stern have a Math II of 800. </p>

<p>So it will only help if you apply ED but if Stern is not your first choice you should apply to it RD instead.</p>
