<p>If you have any questions about applying, life at NYU, housing, financial aid, adjusting, or anything, I'll be glad to help. x)</p>
<p>I'm applying to Gallatin ED for this year. Do you think Gallatin is flexible, like I know there are some classes which are only open to Stern or Steinhardt students, etc but for the most part, are you able to take any classes you want? Also, what were your high school stats, if you don't mind sharing? I have heard Gallatin is more difficult to get into CAS and I'm wondering if thats true.</p>
<p>As far as I know Galletin is designed to be flexible and not tied to just one individual profile or course.</p>
<p>You really need to talk to an adviser, however that route may not be possible as thousands of students apply to NYU every year so an individual advisement may not be possible.</p>
<p>If you want to establish your own company, have you considered stern as they teach you business skills (one of the best in the nation).</p>
<p>Why exactly do you want to go Galletin, (will it fit your needs)?</p>
<p>I really want to open an international high end PR firm- like I'd love to do PR for Marc Jacobs, LVMH, Gucci Group, etc- and I think doing something a little off the beaten path would really set me apart. Since the fashion industry is so global, I want to take language classes at The College of Arts and Sciences, as well as culture and psychology classes at Steinhardt. I'm definitely going to want to take a ton of Stern classes too, but I think the other parts are really important as well. I'm on my 6th year of Spanish, 1st year of French (but its French II Honors, I taught myself French I over the summer) and I really want to pick up Italian as well.</p>
<p>Well, I am not sure if Stern classes, atleast most of them will be open to gallatin. The reason being is that Stern is considered very specialized. Whereas steinhardt , cas , gsp, gallitin take eachothers classes in different fields, I am not so sure about stern.</p>
<p>If you want to open a business, I suggest focusing on business. A minor/major combination would be great in another field such as a liberal arts , design, fine arts, something related to fashion. Think about a major/minor or double major to diversify yourself.</p>
<p>A bit of advice though, if your opening a firm, chances are you would probably hire staff who would know things you wouldn't know or have specialization. You could hire a person who is fluent in spanish, another in italian , at the same time the staff you hire could having fashion experience as well , ie foreigner from Milan who is just getting started and looking for experience.</p>
<p>You can't learn everything in ones lifetime, I cannot be a lawyer, doctor , dancer , musician, computer techincian, sound and video technician, room acoustical technican, fashion critic and designer, all at once.</p>
<p>Now if you want to be a valuable consultant, then thats a different story, it sounds to me as if you want to be a consultant who had fashion/modeling experience, speaks 3 languages and has an excellent portfolio, as well as an education at NYU. Another thing with opening a business is the need for capital.</p>
<p>I'm currently a Gallatin sophomore so I think I can help out here. Stern allows you to take classes as a Gallatin student, and in some departments the two schools even have a bit of an understanding. We don't get priority registering for their classes but they do send out an announcement for when we can register for their classes. I've taken and plan on taking a lot of marketing classes through Stern. </p>
<p>Gallatin students do have a max that they can take through Stern, but I've never heard of anyone hitting it.</p>
<p>Gallatin also really wants its students to have real world experience so your advisor, should you apply and be accepted, would encourage you to take a few internships throughout the course of your career which I think for someone like you would be helpful in establishing connections.</p>
<p>To the gallatin freshman & sophmore-- </p>
<p>What are your intended concentrations? Do you ever feel that the program is too individualized or that your missing out on the typical "college experience?"</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure I'm applying to Gallatin ED too; I just want to get another student's perspective before I press the submit button...</p>
<p>I applied early to Gallatin, and I have a few questions for the current attendees:
1) Mind I ask, what were your stats?
2) Does Gallatin place a higher emphasis on writing in the admissions process? I believe that I have heard this somewhere, although it may be a rumor.
3) Can Gallatin students be deferred to GSP?</p>
<p>I wish I had more...enjoyable?...questions for you; however, I'm frightened for December 15.</p>
