Hi guys!
Rising senior here… I love NYU and I’m seriously considering Gallatin. I heard the acceptance rate for Gallatin is lower? Can anyone answer that?
I plan to write the Why NYU? Essay for Gallatin although I also want to be considered for CAS. Is that alright?
Gallatin is just looking for different things than CAS. If you have a very clear, directed idea of exactly what you want to study, and it’s not something offered by a traditional school, go for Gallatin. If you just want to dabble in a little bit of everything, Gallatin is probably not for you. It works best for students who know exactly what they want (for example, I knew someone who wanted to be a science fiction writer, so he created his own major tailored to that)
