<p>You said you don’t know your college GPA yet, “but it won’t be that great”. Then I can assure you, you won’t get in. </p>

<p>While your SAT scores are good, your high school GPA is low. </p>

<p>Stern will be looking for around a 3.7+ from high school and something similar from college.</p>

<p>I’m no expert on NYU, but I can tell you Stern is hard to get into as a high school applicant, and it is even HARDER to get in through trasnfers. However, the fact that you go to Cornell may help you at least a little, considering it IS Cornell…</p>

<p>Its weird, I know a few ppl that picked cornell over stern, and some stern over cornell. You have good scores + come from a good school so you should have at least a decent shot, but like someone mentioned, harder as a transfer than coming out of high school. Just wondering, why don’t you like cornell/are you in the AEM major?</p>
