<p>Just a little bit about myself:
I am a Asian/indian male senior at a very prestigious school (ranked in top 100 in US). Nyu Stern is my Dream school. </p>
<p>Grades:
Throughout high school I have taken only honors/ap courses. I currently have a 88 cumalative GPA. It sounds low but I have an excelent upward trend (from 74 my frosh year to 96 junior year…) . I was alse very hars for me since I am only 15 years old (turning 16 in 2 months!!). </p>
<p>There’s nothing about your application that screams “I want to go to one of the top business schools in the country” Your app shows very little passion, just a decent SAT, decent GPA, and the standard set of volunteer work and sports. Idk if you know anybody in stern or will have AMAZING essays, but from what I can tell, it’s going to be decently tough.</p>
<p>I’d put it at a low reach to reach. You have to realize the type of people who apply to this school. That being said, your upward trend can help a lot.</p>
<p>Thanks, Tyrtle for the great input. Do you think doing ED2 will give me better chances. Also, i am taking SAT’s again in November and hoping for a 2250+
Is there anything else that can make my chances ></p>
<p>SAT Scores are are low/mediocre for Stern & GPA is very low which you can’t really do much to change at this point. Most people at Stern have 2200+ SATs with ~40+% having 2300+ so getting your SATs up is a must. Other than that show that you know what Stern is about and show your passion through your essays. I’d chance you at mid-high reach.</p>
