<p>What is the easiest school to get into in NYU? I know that stern an tisch are pretty hard, but what about the other 12?</p>
<p>CAS is probably third, after those two.</p>
<p>i dont think there are 12 undergrad schools.</p>
<p>haha 12 schools... really?</p>
<p>i thought there was just stern, tisch, CAS, gallatin, gsp, steinhardt
are there more? haha i should really know more about my school lol</p>
<p>It really depends on how you look at it. I'd say CAS and Stern are the most stats orientated. Tisch requires good portfolios, and Gallatin probably requires you to display some uniquness. A lot of people consider Steinhardt to be easy to get into. GSP would of course be the easiest to get into since the people there were rejected from other NYU schools.</p>
<p>thanks all</p>
<p>school of social work too!</p>
<p>scps also has some undergrad majors</p>
<p>isnt there a hotel management school too?</p>
<p>what is scps?</p>
<p>hotel management is in scps</p>
<p>scps = school of continuing and professional studies</p>
<p>You really cannot rank the schools. If you were going based on reputation, Stern would rank most difficult because its competition is mostly comprised of statistics and not much else. Yes, Stern applicants must write good essays and give teacher recommendations, however you can be sure a 1600 sat and 105 GPA will out way a mediocre essay. In addition, Stern like most business, or Math and Science programs collect most of their prestige due to the consensus of our society. The program at Stern is in fact very heavy in the areas of Math and Science, which, I hate to say, in our society, are the two disciplines, held in higher esteem...(the humanities are not esteemed as much, you can believe whatever you want, the world is alllll about technological advantage)
Nevertheless, in all fairness, The College of Arts and Sciences, is also difficult however, they evaluate an applicant on a broader spectrum, and have an admissions criteria more based on the overall package that an applicant is offering, which include statistics, essays, teacher/guidance counselor comments/recommendations, extracurricular data etc.<br>
Concerning Tisch and Steinhardt, one can understand their admissions as both completely UNPREDICTABLE and completely random, not random in the sense that they pick anyone, but random in the sense that their criteria is very, VERY different from any of the other schools. Many of the programs are specific but still require certain academic standings. For example, you may be the best actor in the world, the most talented filmmaker, dancer etc, however, you still need to have excellent to borderline-average grades. In the same breadth are many of the departments in The Steinhardt School. As I have said before, the Studio Art department is very competitive. They accept about fifty-five kids a year out of an applicant pool of about three hundred and fifty kids, so an applicant needs to be admitted both academically and artistically, and as the University gets more applicants each year competition will only increase. What is also interesting about Tisch and Steinhardt, are that they will attract applicants of all different backgrounds, some who probably would have applied mainly to art schools but realized that they were too academic to give up the richness of a full University and did not want to limit their resources. This causes many people to be both highly talented and highly intelligent/intellectual, which creates a more stimulating atmosphere.</p>
<p>P.S The General Studies "Program" is NOT A SCHOOL, it is a "PROGRAM" hence the name, and it is never considered or included in the University's Admissions Data, however, it is an excellent program and I am, by no means, bashing it. I know that some kids actually choose it as a method to better aquaint themselves with the academics of the school in general, it is also for kids who qre looking for a broader introduction the the general academic spectrum</p>
<p>Some clarifications to Mike's last post:</p>
<ol>
<li> GSP is included in NYU's admissions data but not under the traditional baccalaurate programs. GSP graduates are awarded an A.A. (Associate of Arts) degree.</li>
</ol>
<p>See <a href="http://www.nyu.edu/ir/factbook/index.php%5B/url%5D">http://www.nyu.edu/ir/factbook/index.php</a></p>
<ol>
<li> Applicants cannot choose the GSP program "ab initio". They can choose to accept it only if it is offered to them.</li>
</ol>
<p>yes, the above poster is right, i do believe, you need to be referred to "General Studies", however, the apllication might have it as a school preference, because they ask you on the Undergraduate application to specify which school you are applying to.</p>
