Stern or CAS Econ? Chances for both?

I think that 1600-scale SAT scores mean very little, especially considering that most programs within NYU weigh all three sections equally. NYU is a fantastic school – my top choice, in fact – but collectively it’s still not comparable to an Ivy school. I’d say Stern is pretty close though.

SAT scores for Cornell and NYU don’t change the fact that the OP’s GPA and SAT are above the CAS averages. You can check the NYU results threads – or current applicant threads – and find out that the OP is definitely not an average applicant to CAS. It’s not a safety, seeing as that that’s the case for very few, but he definitely has an above average chance.
