<p>I got rejected from wharton, HYPS. Oh well, i'm totally in for NYC. </p>

<p>SAT: 2280
SAT II: 800/800/730
GPA: 97/100
Rank: 2nd/650. this year dropped to 4th/650</p>

<p>Teacher recs: probably killed my application. positive but generic.
Counselor recs: great. better than teachers
Essays: Main essay was extremely risky... i thought it would show maturity and make me stand out... but i guess it didn't pay off at the big schools. My NYU short essays were kinda bad cause i did them in a rush. I made one typo in oen of them too...</p>

<p>EC's: Founded amnesty club (recognized by amnesty international, as in club was featured in their newsletter), founded political science club, founded intercity youth political organization (with chapters in 5 high schools, 3 cities, 70+ members, and is recognized by my city's mayor and my province's premier... i seriously thought this would be a hook... guess not), worked at my mom's company for the past 3 years (self-made entrepreneur), own my own company with 2 other friends, repair wheelchairs for the redcross (3 years running during summers), national stock market competition team captain. </p>

<p>Asian Male, Canadian</p>

<p>Well, i thought i had a good shot at wharton at least, but guess not. But screw that, i'm really looking forward to the big city, NYC, and having a ton of fun while getting a great degree at stern (if i get in).</p>

<p>Wow, after reading this thread I feel alot luckier for getting into Stern and a WHOLE lot luckier for the fact that NYU doesn't pay as much attention to class rank.</p>

<p>Rejected from Wharton, Columbia, Waitlisted at Rice, got into safeties.</p>

<p>I'm all for NYU, my only concern is that I feel like going to Stern will basically force me to have a career in business... well of course its a business school, and finance is no less tedious than other forms of business, but I'm still maintaining a strong interest in law and hope that Stern doesn't take away from the possibility of me going to a good law school.</p>

<p>Wow, vercingetorix, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect link!</p>

<p>What was originally and uncomfortableness with locking myself into Stern has turned into a much more positive feeling knowing that should I attend Stern that I have the opportunity to pursue the things that appeal most to my interests, Finance, International Business, and still be open to building a foundation for a law career with the help of the pre-law advisor and those extremely informative advisory packets...</p>

19

<p>This is good. Looks like I'm not getting into Stern. :(</p>
