Ask yet another NYU student

<p>about the stern curve, does it exist only in finance major classes? or is it also evident in core stern classes such as intro to marketing, intro to mgmt etc. etc?</p>

<p>I was waitlisted then rejected to stern, but i still want to go to NYU so I will be applying to transfer for fall 08. I am wondering what's the difference between Economics at CAS and Stern, which one would be easier to get into, and which one would get me better internships/jobs? But i also plan on going to business school after undergrad so would it really matter which one I go to?</p>

<p>cas is easier to get into than stern</p>

<p>i think stern kids get better internship/job opportunities</p>

<p>also most people don't go straight to grad school after undergrad* just a thought</p>

<p>i got waitlisted-rejected
applied for transfer and got it.</p>

<p>apply to stern again imo</p>

<p>i liked kjayson, we we're going to start a sunglasses store, he got rejected</p>

<p>Stern curve is kind of an ambigious term, but generally classes have anywhere from 20-30% A/A's, with a class average of B or B-. We definitely have deflation compared to other schools (especially ivies) to get a good job you have to keep it above 3.5, which isn't that easy. Intro classes have slightly more forgiving curves most of the time, but still no where as easy as CAS classes (and you have lesser competition).</p>

<p>Don't go to CAS</p>

<p>Nobody goes straight from undergrad to business school anymore, top places won't hire you without a few year experience.</p>

<p>How good is the English program at NYU? I'm planning to apply to CAS.</p>

<p>haha, thanks for the update...</p>

<p>serious question though - can you leave stuff in your dorm over winter break or does NYU require you to vacate after first semester?</p>

<p>i've never ever heard of school that requires you to move out for winter break...
im 99.997% sure you don't have to...just summer break</p>

<p>No, you don't have to move out for winter break. Although if you stay on campus for holidays like I did, you'll find that the place becomes a ghost town.</p>

<p>thanks.
i've heard a lot of larger schools and state universities require you to move out between semesters, so i wasn't sure...</p>

<p>quite a few schools require you to move out over winter break, luckily nyu does not.</p>

<p>The question about English major...I have no idea, but I seriously would not spend the money (200l+ by the time you get here) on NYU to become an English major.</p>

<p>Well, I'm planning to minor in Cinema Studies. I've got some scholarships already, so we'll see how it works out.</p>

<p>Where would be a good place to spend $200,000 on an English degree?</p>

<p>I have a question about NYU dorms. I'm interning and don't attend the school so I'm a little confused.</p>

<p>I'm going to be in summer housing, but it turns out that a relative will be visiting for about 2 weeks, and I don't know where to put him. I know NYU dorms make you sign guests in, but if I just keep signing him in, does NYU strictly enforce that "6 night/month, no more than 3 consecutive nights" rule? I won't have a roommate, so that won't be an issue.</p>

<p>Also, I heard Water Street isn't like a typical dorm, and that it's leased- does Water Street require that guests are signed in?</p>

<p>water street is the same, sign in policy wise. 6 nite/month , 3 nights consecutive is the rule. You can break this a little bit, especially if your roommate helps, but no way you can turn 3 consecutive nights into 14. Besides this would be horribly unfair for your roommate.</p>
