What are my chances for Stern?

Hello,

I am a Junior this year and just wanted to get an idea of how I will fare with NYU.

  • Ethnicity: INDIAN (How much will this affect me?)
  • Household Income: 200000
  • Texas resident, top 4.2% of my class (23/548)
  • Highest SAT I: (2nd time) 2050 (640 CR) (720 Writing) (690 Math)
  • ACT: 33 Composite (31 English) (35 Math) (33 Reading) (33 Science)
  • SAT II: Haven't taken any, do I need to?
  • 3.9 Unweighted GPA
  • Taken 10 AP Classes
  • Taken 5 PAP Classes
  • Varsity Tennis (captain next year)
  • NHS, NTHS, STUCO
  • BPA (advanced to state for video production)
  • DECA (advanced to state for Entrepreneurship Innovation Plan, hoping to go to nationals)
  • An Independent study class where I'm under the mentorship of a business professional (He went to UT BHP so I know he can write a good rec letter)
  • Part of a marketing team for a local exterior painting company
  • Over 150 volunteer hours

Also, my ACT essay score hasn’t come out yet but I don’t think I did that well on it. Can someone tell me what I need on my essay to have a chance? Will the ACT essay be a big factor in admissions?

Thanks so much!

Stern kind of ignores the writing sections for the SAT and ACT. I think you have a great shot at Stern. Good luck!
