<p>So, I'm currently applying for NYU next year, and I just want to know what's the difference between taking a major from CAS and making a major with Gallatin.</p>
<p>I wanted to be a journalist, but also a screenwriter. I wanted to be someone who writes for the screen, but also writes for Vanity Fair.</p>
<p>I looked through the website, and I read about CAS and Gallatin. Both programs sound nice, but I'm not sure which is suitable for me.</p>
<p>I just want to know what's the difference between CAS and Gallatin, so I won't regret over making a bad decision in the near future.</p>
<p>I’m in the exact same position. I want to be an editor for a fashion magazine and work in fashion journalism. I’m not sure whether to take Gallatin or CAS either.</p>
<p>SAME position. I want to work for a travel magazine. Don’t know if I should go to CAS for Journalism, Steinhardt for Media Culture Communication, or create my own through Gallatin.</p>
<p>Bumping for anyone’s input on these questions. Only when I saw this discussion did I even KNOW about Gallatin. My D considered Steinhardt for vocal performance (though that’s an audition and you HAVE to apply to STeinhardt), versus CAS for philosophy/physics. But if she could COMBINE all that - it would be GREAT! I know she couldn’t take vocal “Performance”, but one can get a music minor at CAS. So…how in the world does a person decide between CAS and Gallatin? I read another thread where many said Gallatin was harder to get admitted into. (some posters disagreed and put CAS first). What I noticed is that I found merit scholarships (Presidential Honors) at CAS, and didn’t really find anything at Gallatin. If a student is possibly eligible for that top 5% honor and could get a scholarship at CAS…does anyone know if there is anything like that in Gallatin that I just haven’t found?</p>
<p>That’s really strange and coincidental. I’m also a writer, have thought about writing for Vanity Fair AND doing travel writing. And now I’m applying as a transfer to Gallatin. So we’re all on the same page here. Perhaps even the same paragraph, haha.</p>
<p>It seems like Gallatin is a lot more flexible and provides more opportunity for hands-on experience outside the classroom (through internships and such). CAS requires you to choose a specific major and stick to the program. It really is a matter of preference. All the schools have different standards for admission though. Gallatin focuses more on your experience and less on your GPA and scores than CAS.</p>
