How much does Stern care about ECs?

Hi there! I got into NYU Stern ED1 just a few weeks ago. After looking at your stats (on your other thread), I think your GPA and SAT makes you gives you a strong edge in getting accepted. The fact that you don’t really have any business ec’s shouldn’t really hinder you ( I didn’t really have any business ec’s either, and I made it in ) but you should still be able to demonstrate leadership through your other activities. One of the most important things they look at in the application for Stern (imo) is the Why NYU essay. So many kids apply to stern because they hear that it’s a “prestigious b-school” without having a legit reason why they want to study at Stern. The admissions team really stressed the importance of this essay at their open house, and I think a big reason why I made it in was because my essay really focused on why Stern and not just NYU and NYC in general. Let me know If I can help you with anything else.
