• Answer:

  Stern is competitive to get into at the best of times. They do accept A levels without making you take the SAT, and they are very used to international applicants. However, I note that to get into Stern in particular it is required that one of your standardized exams be in math, as it is a business school and math is very important. Everything else about your application sounds great and extra activities and sports are always impressive if you're at such a high level, but without a pretty exceptional math score you could be at a bit of a disadvantage. Given that, you might consider taking another standardized test, such as the SAT or ACT if they're available to you, and trying to get a very high math score to show that you are capable of it. Stern cares the most about grade point average and test scores, but they will put some weight on extracurricular activities. I have provided you with a page that has information about admissions rates for NYU, at least in terms of the above numbers. Keep in mind, though, that getting into Stern tends to be more difficult than getting into NYU in general.
