GPA is very low and so is your ACT. Try for atleast a 32.
How Much Does Extra Curriculars play as a factor in admission? Would going undecided first help?
You’re making too many threads at once…
NYU Stern: Out of reach
Ohio State: High match
Miami U: Low match
Fordham: High match
Baruch: Low match/Match
DePaul: Low match
Loyola Chicago: Low match
Maybe to NYU CAS, going undecided will help, but not much at Stern. Although this is a shock to some people and some people may argue against this, EC’s do not play a huge factor in admissions. GPA, SAT and Essay are the biggest factors. Being able to afford, NYU, or being a URM, are also factors that could aid you.
@SternBusiness I must disagree just a tiny bit! I have a friend that told me he believes he got in mostly due to his ECs as his GPA was not very high and nor was his ACT score. His ECs included a long list of business related internships and he was really really into computer science.
@stephq Yeah I actually agree that for some people some business related EC’s can help get you in, but they aren’t necessarily the most important aspects to your resume. They can help a bit, but I know a lot of people in Stern, with minimal EC’s.
