I want to apply to NYU’s Econ program.

Haven’t taken SAT 2 yet…

Chosen to compete at MSA University science fair.
(Sorry for limited ECs… Egypt doesn’t give me a lot of opportunities)

How do I stack up? Should I apply EA?

Are you going to apply to Stern or to CAS ECON? Either way I think you have a strong shot. Being an international I am not quite sure if that would help or hurt you to be honest. Take Math 2 for your subject test.

Good Luck

5

I’ll take Math 2 and Physics… Question, my father graduated from stern finance, so would that help my chances of going in (Legacy)?

6

And yeah, Stern econ.
