<p>What are my chances of getting into Stern regular decision? Here is some of my info:</p>

<p>NJ public school (ranked #10 in state)</p>

<p>SAT I: M-760, V- 600, W- 680</p>

<p>SAT II: MATH IC- 750, MATH IIC- 800, CHINESE- 800, BIOLOGY- 630</p>

<p>4.02 GPA; rank #23 out of 288 (top 8%)</p>

<p>EC: Art club (treasurer), Computer Club (Secretary), NHS… nothing that significant</p>

<p>academic record: mostly A’s and B’s in honors and AP courses</p>

<p>AP exams: Computer Science A- 5, Biology- 4
I’m taking 7 more in senior year</p>

<p>good recommendations from computer science and math teacher. </p>

<p>Am I better off applying to NYU in general and not to a specific school? </p>

<p>Thanks guys!</p>

<p>Your stats seem decent; I would say it puts you in the running for Stern. You acknowledged that your ECs aren’t that significant; I would actively try to change that–do something you’re passionate about senior year.</p>

<p>You have to apply to a specific school, can’t apply to NYU at large; they only allow you to apply to one school, so you need to decide what you want to do, and which school is a good fit for you.</p>

<p>I’m not that active in school, but I have a lot of work experience and other activities outside of school. Would that help? Thanks for all the info. :)</p>

<p>Anybody else want to comment?</p>
