<p>Essay and teacher recs should be good!</p>
<p>plan on double majoring in journalism and finance.</p>
<p>Well, here’s the thing:</p>
<p>In order to do finance and journalism, you have to apply to Stern. Stern is the hardest school at NYU to get into in terms of scores; most Sternies have a 2000+ SAT and a 30+ ACT. While your GPA is great, your test scores aren’t high enough. And unfortunately, because the colleges have no other way of measuring how much you know, standardized tests take precedence. Right now, you would be almost certainly rejected.</p>
<p>If you’re a URM, you might be able to slide by with a ~2000 SAT, but if not, a 2150+ is a solid score for Stern and should pretty much guarantee you entrance.</p>
<p>what about CAS for journalism?</p>
<p>You could try CAS for journalism and CAS for Economics, but in order to have a major in Stern, you need to be accepted into Stern.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>would it be better to major in journalism and economics since they are both in CAS?</p>
<p>It will be easier for you to get into CAS. And you could easily do both majors since they are both in the same school. As a journalism major, you are expected to declare another major anyway.</p>
<p>Your GPA is good. Your SAT scores on the other hand, are not =/. The average Stern student has 2000-2100+ and the average CAS student has 1900-2000+. I would suggest trying to bring those SAT scores up.</p>
<p>where is this data located, can I find it online?</p>
