Stern vs Cas chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University
1

<p>I want to go to NYU, specifically Stern, but I'm freaking out about applying ED because I could lose out on the chance of getting into CAS-which I'm fine with too. Seeing that NYU is my dream school, and Stern being the specific college I wish to attend, is it worth it for me to risk the application at Stern and lose out on potentially getting into NYU via CAS? So much pressure regarding my future on one simple application!</p>

<p>I would take the chance, unless you think of going elsewhere (other buisness school). Any volunteer work?</p>

<p>a <700 in Math?</p>

<p>a 670 in Math I?</p>

<p>No SAT Math II or Calc BC?</p>

<p>No Leadership?</p>

<p>LOL but since you’re willing to pay full tuition you could be accepted (after all its very difficult to reject someone offering free $50k)</p>

<p>I think you should apply to Stern. You have fairly average stats in terms of GPA and standardized test scores. You also have a good amount of extracurriculars. If you apply ED you should have a really good chance of getting in. As for what scores to send I think you should just send in your SAT 1 scores.</p>

<p>@ shuffleace It doesn’t really matter if he pays full or not since NYU is a need blind institution.</p>

<p>I don’t appreciate the condescension, ShuffleAce. But, are my stats really that low for Stern?</p>

<p>NYU is my dream school and Stern being the dream college, but is it worth the risk of me losing out on CAS chances? I wouldn’t want to go to school anywhere else but NYU.</p>
