hard but not super hard.... i had a 3.4 in HS but very strong test scores- 1500 SAT(800 M 700 V), SAT2's- 800M, 800 BIO, 800 Chem, 780 Phys and 710 writing, did a decent amount of extracurricular stuff but nothing out of the ordinary and i thought my essay and rec's were ok. aim for a 3.6+ gpa, sat around 1350, and good extracurriculars to have a good chance at nyu even though it varies a lil bit depending on your major. make sure to apply ED if you think you're borderline.

“Hm.. I applied and got into Stern, so INov 21 2004Finance
Hm.. I applied and got into Stern, so I guess I could comment about that. What I did, I guess is what you should do for any college. Do fairly well on SATs - I got a 1530, but you very likely do not need anything that high to get in. I'd say selectivity definitely varies by school. Stern being probably the most competitive stats-wise, and Tisch being competitive in it's own artsy way. Write good essays, do well in school.. that type of stuff.

Definitely don't exclude NYU from your list because you think you don't meet the criteria. Personally, there's no way I should have gotten into anything but a community college, given my high-school GPA (2.8, how's that for embarassing?), but NYU took other things (SAT scores, Essays) deeply into account, and I got in to Tisch. Work your butt off on your essay. Crazy things happen.
