<p>After freshman or sophomore year, how hard is it to transfer from CAS to Stern? Do I need like 4.0 GPA? Or is it impossible to transfer from CAS to Stern? Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>come on! 24 views and no response?</p>
<p>... 24 views and no response! Oh, the horror! The travesty! What unimaginable agony!</p>
<p>Best I can say is that it's not easy. There are always people who make it from CAS to Stern. I just don't know how competitive it is. Maybe youkosiren or another Sternie can give you more answers.</p>
<p>The best i can tell you is that a handful of kids get in every year internally transferring, so its not impossible. The kids who fail don't really talk about it though, so its really hard to come up with a rough guess of the success rate. It seems a lot of Econ and math majors end up trying to transfer, so the success rate is probably low. It also seems the people who get in internally transferring had HS stats that would've enable them to get into Stern in the first place (and 3.8+ during their time in CAS)</p>
<p>i heard internal transfer to stern is virtually impossible. heck, stern is the most competitive school of nyu and they get enough transfer applicants from outside schools already, so you get the picture. i would advise you to apply straight to stern as a freshman.</p>
<p>From what I've heard, the competitiveness of internally transferring into Stern is dependent on the number of people who leave Stern/ the number of spots that opens up, so it varies from year to year. But like crnluv said, it is very competitive.</p>
<p>Does anyone know where I can find the stats of how many people each Stern undergrad accepted? I remember looking at it once, but forgot the website.</p>
<p>(I'm also trying to internal transfer in Stern from CAS)</p>
<p>I am a Stern sophomore. It's a bad idea applying to CAS with the mindset of internally transferring to Stern--nearly all CAS Econ majors apply for internal transfer.</p>
<p>As there are significantly more slots for external transfers than internal, it would be safer going to another (perhaps easier) college and then applying to Stern as a transfer.</p>
<p>If we trust business week (which we don't)</p>
<p>121 internal candidates (admitted and denied) sought full-time admission to the business program for the 2006-2007 academic year. 49% were admitted to the program.</p>
<p>VERY surprising</p>
<p>Well, if you do try it (understanding that you very well might not transfer successfully into Stern), DON'T put it off after sophomore year. Schedule-wise, it will suck. If you're going to apply, do it asap.</p>
<p>youkosiren, why do you say schedule wise it would suck to transfer into stern as a junior? can you mention any specifics?</p>
<p>You will have to take AT LEAST an extra semester to get all the pre-reqs out of the way. If you want to double major, you will need to probably do an extra year. Stern has A LOT of required classes. You can try to get into them as a freshmen/sophomores while not in Stern, but its difficult.</p>
