<p>Hey, personally I think you have a great chance at getting into Stern and a very good chance at the Stern Scholar program.</p>

<p>I got into the scholar program for this upcoming fall and basically everything you have is on par or better than what I had. Other than the SAT’s and AP’s, I think stern really values challenging yourself and taking a rigorous schedule so having a BC Calc (5) before turning 12th grade is a really big plus. Most of the people that apply all have good grades high SAT’s, so a personal essay demonstrating leadership could be the difference into getting the scholars program. Other than that, you’re looking great! Good luck.</p>

<p>However, this year, it doesn’t seem like any EDers got into Scholars, so to be safe, apply RD if you really want to be in the program.</p>

<p>Your stats look fine. Chem and Bio will be useful; you’ll be able to get out of NatSci, a requirement. Stat won’t help much, though, so if you don’t take the exam, it’s probably not a big deal next year. Stern requires everyone to take stat regardless of exam results. Lit is an elective credit. Advice for next year… sorry about the slightly off-topic-ness. ;)</p>
