GPA - Top 5% in your class is very good for NYU

SAT - 1310 is simply too low for what Stern normally accepts, even early decision. Try to retake to get at least a 1400.

EC - Hard time trying to find out what you're really interested in from what is on your resume as filler. I like the internship at the bank because it shows that you are definitely interested in business. Possibly rephrase some other EC's you have.

Mostly because of your SAT I scores and lack of SAT II scores right now, NYU Stern is a reach.
