sure thing! Why ED1?

5

Because NYU stern is stronger in getting people into my intended profession(I-banking) than most ivy leagues. What schools besides Wharton can match Stern? I don’t really care about financial aid.

Hey pokemon1, your stats are good enough to have a good shot at Wharton ED, so Im not so sure why you are doing Stern ED. You would probably be quite successful at Wharton too, which has a great reputation for I-banking (recruiters go to Wharton first), and is probably cheaper. You could get into Stern RD easily, so why not take a shot at a better school? Just my two cents.

7

I agree!

8

Thanks for advice but I was told that I have absolutely no shot at Wharton with my class rank

Well I think you do. You are in the top 5% of your class and chances are that there are only a few people applying ED to Wharton including you (or you just applying to Wharton) from your school, which means you have a very good chance. I dont see why anyone would say you have no shot at Wharton based on class rank alone; that’s irrational in my opinion.
