<p>And if I can’t get in NYU stern what are some business college that’s about as good as NYU stern or some are match school for me?</p>

<p>2000 to 2200 is a huge range for SATs o.o</p>

<p>a 2000 would make it a low to mid reach</p>

<p>a 2200 would make it a target</p>

3

<p>I think if you can get your SAT to 2200 and apply ED it’ll be a match. Otherwise work as hard as you can on your GPA + extracurriculars, apply ED, and hope for the best.</p>

4

<p>Is there any other good business school that will be a match for me incase I can’t get in NYU?</p>

5

<p>Depends on what you want to study and where you want to be. Plenty of schools within your grade range. Just speak with your school’s college counselor and let them know what you want to study in the future and I am sure they will give you a list of schools.</p>

<p>Business is very vague. Let them know if you are interested in Finance, Accounting, Economics ect ect</p>

6

<p>check the business school for undergrad ranking list if you just need a quick answer</p>

7

<p>I am thinking about to do both financial accounting and economics. Please give me some suggestion</p>

8

<p>It doesn’t really matter what you put in your application for major as you have until the end of your sophomore year to officially declare your major. Economics and accounting is a little awkward but you could if you wanted to.</p>

<p>People usually do:
finance/accounting
finance/econ
finance/math</p>

<p>I think like 90% of stern students are majoring in finance and something else.</p>

9

<p>Is finance hard to find a job compare to accounting?</p>

10

<p>Accounting is generally seen as a more stable field since all businesses need accountants. There has probably been a small shift in major selection towards more stable majors such as accounting due to the current market conditions and views on Wall Street firms. However I would not say that it is hard to find a job in finance especially if you graduate from Stern.</p>
