Can you double major from 2 different colleges? For example, can I major poli sci in CAS and also major in finance in Stern?
As I understand it, if you are admitted to Stern you may be able to apply for a double major in the CAS but not vice versa. CAS students can’t add a major from Stern, Tandon, Tisch, Nursing or Steinhardt unless they apply and are accepted into those schools separately as a transfer.
so when I apply to two schools (lets say Tandon and Stern), is it possilbe to get rejected from Stern but get into Tandon? How does it work?
I don’t think you can apply to both. You need to apply to a single school (say, Stern) and that’s where your application is considered. If you aren’t admitted to Stern and you indicated that Tandon was your second choice school your application would be submitted and considered by Tandon. You are only considered by one school for freshman admission at a time. I think there may be a business-engineering specific BS/MBA degree program that is shared between Stern and Tandon and that you’d need to research by contacting NYU if you’re interested… but it’s still not applying to two schools where you could get accepted / rejected separately.
