Hello hencc

At my old college I took a **** load of math courses. math was always my thing so it wasnt really a problem doing so. I had even taken linear algebra in HS (im an international so we do alot more higher math here) I also took a higher lvl proof based class. Basically I was a math major and cs minor (there was no cs major) at my old college. And eventhough my GPA was slightly lower than those who normally transfer becoz i had A’s in all those tough math courses and it worked in my favour.

And I was waitlisted from stern when I applied as a HS senior, dunno if that had an effect or not.

And no I didnt apply to any other schools because I worried that my GPA wasnt gonna be enough There are alot of other fantastic schools out there that I woudlve tried like chicago, NU( a girl actually transferred from my old college there) etc but at the end of the day if i had gotten into all of them and Stern I wouldve chosen stern anyway lol so it doesnt make a difference. Though I KINDA REGRET not appliying to UPenn cas (which was my no1 choice in school) but again for finance, ibanking and that kinda stuff and im not talking about just the recruiting oppurtunities but about the whole ‘business experience’
Stern> Upenn cas and almost every other college in the nation (save for wharton and a few other obvious school). So im still really happy :)
