Well, if you think that test scores are the only barometer for admissions, you’re kidding yourself. What does the GPA, ECs, Rank look like? You have a 1320 regular SAT. That’s a great score. It will get you into about all but the top business schools. Since you applied to Stern ED, i’m assuming that money isn’t an object.

I’d say just looking at test scores that these programs are good matches for you: Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Texas

Don’t know if any of those sound appealing to you, but without knowing GPA, it’s hard to gauge chances at selective schools (accept less than 50% of applicants)
