So I am thinking of applying to NYU Stern in the next few months and I wanted to know my chances of getting accepted. Stern is my dream school and I would love to go to college in NYC.

I haven’t started my essay and teacher recs but will get to that soon.
“I haven’t started my essay and teacher recs but will get to that soon.”
You should get started on the essay as soon as possible. Also, for the recs, you should have had those lined up before you left school for the summer; at least based on what happens at my school.
Anyways, based on what you have provided here, you do have a shot of getting in with your high GPA and ACT, as well as your EC’s, but don’t take my words for granted, as a bunch of kids who I thought were qualified at my school ended up being rejected from Stern.
Oh, and also, there is the “What are My Chances?” forum, for future reference. (just saying :-)) Best of luck!
Check out Hofstra also! Great undergraduate business school - don’t set your sights on just NYU Stern, branch out!
