<p>I was not selected as a Stern Scholar this year, but is it really hard to get in after freshmen year? I know you have to have at least a certain GPA?
And what kind of benefits do scholars receive that regular stern students don't?</p>
<p>I'm not sure about how hard it is to get in. For the other question:</p>
<p>About 70 or so in the class of 500 are scholars. From what i've heard, a lot of them drop out as they can't keep the 3.5 GPA. </p>
<p>You get to take free trips abroad and u get some perks that are scholars only. Don't quote me on this, but I think it's stuff like going to restaurants, meeting company reps, movies, etc.</p>
<p>Stern average SAT this year is suppose to be around 1430. I'd put the average scholar at something above 1500. I know my friend with a 2250, 3.8 (crazy intense schedule), and an Intel Semifinalist didn't get in....so <em>shrugs</em></p>
