What are my chances into getting into stern and carnegie melon. Also ik i have no chances at ivies :’(
For your actual SAT try to get a 1500/1600 to be competitive. I think with this your chances of admission into Stern/CMU are pretty good. Also, I am assuming your GPA is UW. If it is not UW, then your gpa is most likely too low.
If you want to increase your chances at either of these schools ED definitely will help. Although the acceptance rates are similar for ED and RD, the ED pool is generally slightly less competitive than that of the RD pool.
Also for Stern specifically, I would try to find an internship over the summer. Its a great experience to get a first hand look at a workplace and it is a great thing to write about in your college essays.
I will be attending Stern next year, so if you have anymore questions about how the application process went for me let me know.
Decent shot for CMU since acceptance rate is greater than 20%.
Keep in mind though Stern is harder to get into than some the ivies so tough to say if you have a shot there,
Hi, sorry for replying very late.
I AM LOOKING FOR A STERN INTERNSHIP.
I talked to another person at stern, and they told me to search everywhere, and apply early. Do you know any other places/resources that could help me? I am very interested.
Thank you for your time.
