<p>This year I won third in the FBLA’s national leadership conference in accounting, one of the most competitive events. Just wanted to some opinions on whether this is an all right award that fits the bill of what’s expected from incoming Sternies, or is this something that’s a potential game changer and will stand on its own, say if i have no other legitimate EC’s.</p>
<p>You’re going to need more than one EC. NYU like well rounded students. That might be okay for UK schools - they just care about test scores, etc. But, American colleges look for diverse students and student bodies.</p>
<p>It is a good EC, definitely “legit.” As NYU2013 said, I hope it’s not your only one.</p>
<p>Nah, yeah i have other stuff, just wanted to get a feel for how much this business award would help with getting into Stern?</p>
<p>It will help a bit, definitely.</p>
