Only 2 from NYU undergrad??? That sounds a little too low…

About the Stern Curve, y17k, how big was the problem that he got wrong and how many problems were there on the test? That seem harsh, almost ridiculous.

But hey, look at it this way. The average SAT for a stern student of 2010 is supposed to be approx 1430 M+V. Among the people I know who got stern scholars, most got 1500 or higher Math + Verbal. This isn’t going to be like your high school where if you get a 1500 ur the genius because you’re going to be surrounded by kids like that. I figure that since everyone who has been admitted is already of a certain-caliber, it factors out to how hard you work. The kids who are willing to work hard for the higher grades will probably get them.
