<p>christigrace: I believe that both fine arts (art history, anyway) and intl relations are in CAS - the only problem is that you might not have the time to triple major!</p>
<p>youkosiren, I agree with you. I was hoping that the idea of a concentration in Gallatin would allow me to primarily major in math (where I could explore broad topics in the sciences etc) and also have time to take art and cultural classes. If I were to study in CAS would I have enough time/space or use for these classes? haha oh college how confusing it is!! </p>
<p>and Thank you for your input!!</p>
<p>Honestly, christigrace, it seems to me like you'd be better off in CAS majoring in math and minoring in Art History, for example. I'm not a definitive expert on Gallatin, but I don't think you'd have time to do serious math research. This is my second year of doing research as a chem major, and to do a good job and get great results takes a lot of time.</p>

Regardless, I wouldn't count on it. From what I hear, it's quite competitive for CAS students to get in, let alone students from outside institutions.

<p>For the record, Stern usually accepts 28ish% of external transfers. There's a decisions thread from last year in the transfer forum last year and many people that took the required courses got in from 4-year universities and community colleges. It's not extremely difficult at all.</p>
<p>Thank you very much shades_children, when I visit NYU on Sunday I will make sure to speak with someone in CAS to see what their best advice for me would be. I'm also sure I will be speaking with many professors and people related with Gallatin, so hopefully I can get an idea of where I should go. : )</p>
<p>thanks, shades_children! :)</p>
<p>i got into nyu scps for hotel management and i was wondering whether it is reputable... like is it worth it to go?
it seems like not many people know of the hotel program in nyu so i am stressing out deciding on my university choice.. between mcgill economics and nyu hotel.
thanks.</p>

<p>I wouldn't worry too much about prestige, if I were you. I don't know jack about Hotel Management program, but anything connected to NYU will be at least reasonably well-known and 100% reputable. If you think the school is disreputable, why did you bother to apply?</p>
<p>Regardless, it probably boils down to what you want to study more. NYU's program will provide you with excellent internship opportunities, and I'm sure you'll get off on the right foot in the business, provided you work hard. Unfortunately, I can't speak to McGill's program, since I know nothing about the school.</p>
<p>This is somewhat irrelevant, I'm from the area.. but er, the 42nd street Bazaar closed down. The other two remaining fake ID places don't have the best print quality, and the people there are kind of shotty (which I expected). Any suggestions? This question could be skipped, it's not a huge concern of mine, I'm just curious.</p>
<p>in the words of one of my friends: "two words: irish pub."</p>
<p>If i end up attending NYU CAS how hard is it take courses at Stern? Say if I want to become an actuary, can I take the courses required for an actuarial sciences major at stern such as Statisitical Inference and Regression Analysis, Forecasting Time Series Data, Mathematics of Investment, and life contingencies? Thanks in advance</p>
<p>I think you can take a few stern courses for credit.</p>
<p>You can take up to 16 credits in Stern.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if you could take ALL the classes you need for the actuarial test, though they sound like there are probably some corresponding courses in CAS (at least for the stats classes)... None of those classes seem to be the ones open to non-Stern majors, so you'd have to get special permission, probably. Call up the Stern academic advising office and ask.</p>
<p>I have a question regarding the Stern Soccer Club, is that restricted to Stern students only or is it simply named after its founding school? I'm currently accepted at Stienhardt- if I minor in business at Stern, could I play?</p>
<p>I realize there is an NYU club team as well as other intramural teams etc, I was just curious..</p>
<p>how good is the education of biology/pre-dentistry in the college of arts and science (undergrad)? i want to major in a science-related field, most likely pre-dentistry or biology but idk how good the science is at NYU undergrad, because i heard NYU is primarily for business </p>
<p>also should i go to NYU over Univeristy of Rochester? Rochester would be $13,000 cheapier for me and it might be better for biology</p>
<p>icelemmings: I can't answer that question. Ask youkosiren, maybe.</p>
<p>tusakthedon:</p>
<p>You cannot major in "pre-med" at most major universities. It is not a major. It is a sequence of courses that fulfills most medical schools' requirements. You will need to select a real major.</p>
<p>NYU science is pretty good. I can't say I know much about bio, since I'm a chem major. The chem department is great, though, so if you like chemistry, consider majoring in chemistry or biochemistry.</p>
<p>As for the University of Rochester, is it $13k more per year or overall for 4 years? If it's per year, you may want to consider going there. If that $13k difference is over four years, I'd consider coming to NYU if you can afford the extra $3250 per year. NYU offers lots of opportunities for pre-dental students, and I don't know if the University of Rochester does the same.</p>
<p>And what kind of opportunities ar there for pre- meds? Are there good oportunities to shadow docs and get hospital exposure?</p>
<p>collegefreak12: Well, what is it that you want to do? NYC has a bajillion hospitals, and many of those have volunteer programs for undergrads. If you want to do some more non-traditional volunteer stuff, you can always join initiatives like Operation SMILE and others. Pretty much anything you want to do, you can find it here.</p>
<p>Theoretical situation: if someone gets a speeding ticket, and that someone got into nyu early, they don't have to tell nyu about it....right? I mean the common app only asks you if you were ever convicted of a felony or had any disciplinary action at school, neither of which this particular person has ever had. Um and this person's driving record and criminal record is squeaky clean.....except for this one ticket.</p>
