<p>GPA seems good, near perfect SAT score, i suggest you don’t submit ACT, kinda low chem and french SAT II score but the couple 800’s in the front will shade them, Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do thats totally cool!!! I think your leadership positions are a bit lacking… but your series of awards might cover that? If you wanna major in finance, how did you get 740 in Math btw?
I honestly don’t know much about NYU stern( sorry!!! ) BUT:
I think you can definitely get into Babson, Lehigh, BC, Villanova, Umichigan, Rutgers.
You also might get into Cornell, CMU, Georgetown, and possibly Northwestern, because those are the schools that tend to look more at Stats ### than the ECs.
I envy your scores!!
ok now you have to return the favor.</p>

<p>Overall your resume, looks very strong. You have good EC’s with a lot of awards, and WOW. nice SAT score.
Personally I believe your Unweighted GPA isn’t low at all, 3.9 is very good.</p>

<p>I can’t really comment on your chances into some of those universities because I just began researching this kinda stuff (im a junior), but I would say that you are a shoe-in in such schools such as Rutgers, BC, Babson.</p>

<p>Also VERY good shot at NYU Stern, as long as you write a great essay.</p>

4

<p>lol my 3.9 is weighted! i dont knowwhat it is unweighted, my school doesn’t tell me, nor does it rank. thanks though :)</p>

5

<p>do you think you’re in the top 10%? </p>

<p>your SATs are very strong, and your ECs are good. stern is not out of reach.</p>

6

<p>Numbers are looking very solid. EC’s are good. Your internship thing looks very good.
I think you’re in at babson, lehigh, boston, Villanova, Carnegie, UNC, UMich and Rutgers.
NYU is on the same page with Duke, Cornell, Northwestern.
And the others are reaches.</p>

<p>First of all, your stats are amazing…also, how tough is your school? considering your scores, your weighted gpa is low, but if your school is really tough and notably so, that will be recognized…i dont know a ton about the schools but from what i do know, crystal pineapple’s assesment seems to hit the mark</p>
