HAHAHAHAHA, maybe be more specific and we can help you. Stern was in my top 2 but didn't end up choosing it. PM me if you have specific questions.

 

I'm at community college ready to transfer out with a 3.43 gpa. I know 100% finance is what i want to do. Only thing is i didn't save africa and didn't start my own hedge fund at 18 like the other potential candidates. What does it take to get iin? any advice?

Well for one, even of you weren't saving anyone or starting a hedge fund, what exactly were you doing that you have an avg. gpa from a community college? I mean how exactly do you think it comes across that someone that is supposedly dead set on finance and really wants Stern didnt want it bad enough to excel at a CC? Not being an asshole, just telling you what the admissions committee is going to ask themselves.

go back 2 years and get a decent gpa. I even sense you are trolling. How the hell do you get a 3.43 gpa in a cc? It's one thing to ask for help, it's another to self-destroy your chance of getting in anywhere decent.
