Stern SAT Scores avg 1350 - 1410 for Math & Reading. I don’t think they worry about the writing component. I wouldn’t embellish anything, myself. But I wasn’t applying Ivy. Too many kids get hung up on the top ten school thing, and life is over if they don’t get in.

I wasn’t big on leadership things in High school either. In fact not embellishing my leadership like my friends did or guidance counselor wanted kept me off NHS. Cie La Vie. I was in some clubs and did alot of volunteering, but I also worked 20/hrs per week, so I wasn’t just sitting home either.

No matter where you end up going to school. If you apply yourself, do well, you do fine. Lots of great schools out there that don’t have the best rankings.

I find NYU pretty friendly. My dormates who I met as a freshman are in CAS, and Steinhardt. I also have friends who are/were in GSP. Stern kids are fairly competitive. But overall pretty friendly too.

Although NYU is 60/40 female to Male, Stern is more like 50/50. We have a large international population. Stern also has a large group of Asian and Indian students.
