I will be applying ED.
How would a 3.75 GPA and 2300 (1530) fare? My GPA is low, but I do have a rigorous course load.
How important are ECs? Unfortunately, most of my ECs involve either sports or music, so I feel that I will be put at a huge disadvantage compared to other applicants who have business related ECs.
How much of a disadvantage will i be at for being an Asian male?

This may be a bizarre request… could you possibly create a theoretical “chance?” By this I mean a 100 point scale where you would assign each application constituent (grades, standardized scores, essays, ECs, recs, etc) a specific point value.
e.g. SAT is worth 30 points. my 1530 falls within Stern’s 75% SAT score range of 1510 (found this number on BusinessWeek so I don’t know how accurate it is) therefore I would score roughly 23 points.
I understand how very, very flawed this method is…
