<p>Is CAS more or less selective than the other NYU schools? Or about the same? I know it's less selective than Stern, but I don't know about any of the other schools.</p>
<p>I'm not sure exactly how selective it is in comparison to other schools. I imagine that it is highly selective, because I read somewhere that 21,000 students applied to CAS alone. I'm not sure how many students CAS takes. I'm pretty sure it takes the most of any school...</p>
<p>All schools are about equal in selectivity (so they say). Fall '04 CAS total was 6551. Figure about 25% (1650) were freshmen.</p>
<p>I guess I should have phrased my question this way...</p>
<p>Is CAS harder or easier to get into compared to the NYU average?</p>
<p>The University gives no information about selectivity among the various colleges. Occasionally, the Deans give information about their college. Stern is the only one I know that did that this year -- 1422 avg SAT, 3.77 avg GPA. The "all University" figures for the class of '09 are SAT 75/25 (1310-1440), avg GPA 3.63. So, all we can infer from the numbers is what you already stated - Stern is more selective than CAS. Everything else is opinion, urban legend or speculation. Not that there's anything wrong with that.</p>
<p>Edit. Actually, it's a stretch to infer anything until Stern tells us what average they mean when they say "average". Is it mean, median, mode, or another type (of which there are many).</p>
<p>then again, im pretty sure more people apply to cas so you have to keep that in mind too in regards to competition</p>
