This is a basic sketch I can put together, My SAT is my greatest weakness and I am struggling to bring that up.
I intend applying ED to NYU Stern with CAS as my second option of school.
Financial Aid: No
Essay: Solid

What are my chances if I have any?

2

Is it possible to apply to CAS as 2nd option - don’t think it was an option when i applied

3

I don’t think you SAT is your weakness since your other credentials are so good! Also a 2070 is a good score! A higher score may improve your chances :slight_smile: All the best

@qwertyzxc In the Question Section of NYU in the common app you put your primary school of interest, and then there is the option of a secondary school of interest. In case you aren’t admitted to the first they will consider you for the second (and if applying ED the secondary option won’t be a binding acceptance)

@pallavijaniani Thank you! I’m having a hard time fitting all the credentials in to the common app. Does putting information in the Additional Information Section make a difference?
