If you want to work in NYC for finance, you might as well go into Stern in NYU (which is in god damn NYC). It's a top 15 business school that actually is really high up for finance, and you probably won't have a problem finding a job in NYC once you graduate

You're probably lacking with your score in the ACTs (idk about ACTs but I think average SAT for stern is in the 2100s), but everything else on your resume seems fine
