Again, most rigorous courses: HN Alg2, HN Eng, HN Bio, AP World, Chinese 2
the reason why my GPA was so low this year is because i have a C in AP World which obviously brings me down a ton):

I also have extremely unique and great EC’s (I am a very competitive figure skater who skates about 15 hours a week with a handful of medals from local competitions and I am in the highest level possible (Senior). I am also a dedicated figure skating coach who works about 4 hours a week for children, seniors, and people with mental disabilities. I can ask my boss to write me a good rec, because he really likes me and thinks im an incredibly active instructor).

My family has a history of doing incredibly well on the SAT’s because my dad is very good at helping me and my sibs prepare. My oldest sister who graduated HS with a gpa of 3.3/4 UW gpa and went to VT engineering had a near perfect SAT score, with maybe 50 points off (the 1600 SAT) and my sister who went to TJHSST and went to Columbia got a 2350 on her SAT, so my prediction would be:
2200-2300

I am interested in majoring in business, but to increase my chances, I will first apply as an engineer, since they are looking for females in that department, then switch to international-b if i get accepted!

Note that there are different schools in NYU with different admission standards. The engineering school, NYU poly, is fairly easy to get in. However, getting into poly does not mean you’ll get a degree from stern, the NYU business school. Not to mention how much harder transferring into stern is. If you want to do international business, apply to stern directly.

@Ghentsphenze thanks for the input! how hard do you think it would be if I applied to fashion marketing? also, are you trying to say that if I try to transfer, they might say that my grades, ECs, or Essays wasn’t good enough?

Stern in general is pretty selective. If you google “Stern by the numbers”, you’ll get a sense of their academic standards. Transferring to stern is very selective is what I meant. You’ll have a better chance applying as freshman than as a transfer. I don’t know anything about fashion marketing, but stern students do not declare their concentration (Finance, econ, marketing ,etc) until end of sophomore year
