I am currently a high school sophomore and am extremely interested in Stern. I don’t really want to post all my stats up, but I have a question. How important is the course difficulty when choosing students to admit for stern? Freshman year, I had a 3.9 GPA unweighted with 1 honors class, and this year, I have a 3.6 GPA with Algebra 2 Honors and Bio honors. Next year, I will we taking pre-calc honors and Mandarin 3 honors. (I am NOT asking for a chance, so don’t judge me based on my grades. I haven’t posted SAT’s or EC’s up.) So, does stern particularly look hard at the rigor of the courses you take? Will it look bad if I am not taking all honors/AP classes?
