<p>Discuss and/or chime in with more.
The numbers might be a little off, but should be about right.</p>
<p>are you enjoying your life there?</p>
<p>If you plan to double major or minor for something in CAS, is it easy to use AP classes for that?</p>
<p>I'd have to say that WTE is probably more of a why-not for most people (I liked my Stern WTE one too - though mostly because my prof let me write whatever I wanted to, which actually helped me understand WHY WTE is an elective - the normal NYU one sucked though).</p>
<p>Also, non-Stern kids in Stern lounges isn't really a legit reason not to pick Stern (and the LC isn't a Stern-only lounge anyway).</p>
<p>I'd also add to the pluses the access to major figures in business - not many other places can get CEOs of major corporations and well-known professors and whatever to drop by and make presentations.</p>
<p>i read about the new Stern grading guidlines, it says that 25-30% are assigned As...that is not a bad number actually, seems pretty attainable</p>

</p>
<p>In my experience, no... I'm going for a history minor, and only one course can be introductory level. APs can replace that intro class, but not the advanced ones, so APs really are kind of useless in Stern (besides how they help get you in).</p>

<p>It seems like it, but then you get into higher level classes. I've heard horror stories about most of the class getting above a 90 in a class...</p>
<p>I have a weird question about the curve. </p>
<p>Let's say there's a class that a professor teaches twice a week. Do you have to be in the top quarter of the kids in your time slot or in the top quarter of kids taking the class that semester?</p>
<p>What if two different professors teach the same class at different times? (I don't know if that happens...)</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure it's within your section. That's the way it is with Business and Its Publics, for example.</p>
<p>And there are lots of classes that are taught by two or more different professors... again, by section, I believe.</p>
<p>Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But unless if you have extremes in your classes, it shouldn't really make a difference.</p>
