<p>You have a good chance if you apply ED. Stern is becoming increasingly competitive. Most ppl here have SAT > 1440.</p>

<p>Everything looks good, but your SAT subject tests might pose a problem.</p>

<p>At most top schools, not just Stern, a majority of the applicants take Math Level 2 and that’s what top colleges prefer.</p>

<p>While its certainly not a deal breaker, your Math level 1 score is slightly low, and the Stern adcoms might not like it as math is one of the things they tend to stress more.</p>

<p>I plan on taking the SAT subject tests over again if I decide to apply. I won’t apply ED though because money is a substantial factor.</p>

<p>You have better stats than I did when I applied RD last year and I got in. I thought my essays were mediocre, too. IMO you have a good shot.</p>
