<li><p>Does applying ED to Stern significantly increase my chances of being accepted? I've heard some people say that, but I'm not sure whether I can believe them or not. </p></li>
<li><p>What's more important, GPA/transcript or SAT + SAT IIs? Right now, my GPA is really bad (3.4 UW with almost all APs/honors at a very competitive school), but my standardized test scores are decent (2150 SAT aiming for 2300+, 800 MATH IIC 790 CHEM). Will great standardized test scores make up for a poor GPA? </p></li>
<li><p>How much do extracurriculars and teacher recommendations matter?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks for the responses.</p>
