<p>I wish to apply to NYU, and I have pretty high stats. I know that Stern is a lot tougher to get into than the school of arts and sciences, but I am not completely sure if I want to do business or not. If I 'take it slow' and study in the liberal-arts curriculum first to discover what I truly want to study, I may not be able to transfer to Stern if I find out that business is indeed my true calling, since I understand that internal transferring to Stern is very hard/impossible. </p>
<p>So with all that being said, should I apply for the CAS or Stern??</p>
<p>I would go ahead and apply to Stern…take business for one semester/year and see how you like it. It’s probably easier to transfer outside of Stern than into it. Then again, its also harder to get in to Stern than CAS.</p>
<p>Go for Stern, if you think you can make it. Transferring down is much easier. </p>
<p>The problem with NYU is that they only consider you for the school you apply to. They won’t consider you for A&S if they reject you from Stern. </p>
<p>Someone correct me if the above statement is false.</p>
