<p>I want to major in Entrepreneurship, and I really want to get into NYU. So I was looking at the NYU website and it says Entrepreneurship is an INITIATIVE at NYU. I thought Entrepreneurship would be part of the NYU Stern School of Business program? Not an initiative? </p>
<p>And when I apply for NYU as an undergraduate, do I just go to NYU? Or can I apply to Stern as an undergraduate? (My question is: is Stern a GRADUATE school?)</p>
<p>Can I just go to NYU as an undergraduate and take up core courses? Or do I already have to apply to a SCHOOL, like Stern, to take up core courses? I am so confused. Please do not tell me to Google this because I have googled it and nothing came up!</p>
<p>I can’t answer all your questions but here’s what I know.
When you apply to NYU as an undergraduate, you must apply to one of their schools.
CAS (college of arts and science) is the biggest and most popular school with the most majors. It has all types of liberal arts and science majors.
Tisch is the arts school for those interested in film, drama, etc. It is highly competitive.
Stern is the business school, and is easily the hardest school at NYU to get into. You need to have very strong SAT scores.
There are plenty of other schools, but these are 3 of the big ones. You apply and are accepted to one of these schools on the common app. Internal transfers are possible but not super easy.</p>
<p>You can also attend Stern as a graduate school to get an MBA.</p>
<p>^ that is correct. Also, the admission decision is a yes or no based on the college you select on the supplement. In other words, if you apply to Stern, you will either receive an acceptance toNYU ( and that means a yes to Stern), or you will not be accepted to NYU at all so choosing carefully is important and requires a thorough assessment of the whole application strength you are submitting and how well it aligns with the college you designate. The only exception is that they do ask if you’d be willing to be considered for the LSP if you are not accepted to Stern, etc. ( I do not think that option applies to Tisch applicants though). My info on the LSP option is based on last year’s application. You need very strong math scores on the tests you submit and generally they want to see Calculus on your transcript for Stern.</p>
<p>Another exception is campus choice. For instance, I chose Shanghai as my first choice. If I am rejected from Shanghai, they may offer me admission to my alternative choice, New York.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! This clears things up. Man, I want to get into Stern, but knowing that IF I get rejected from it, I might never attend NYU… it sucks! I really hope that I get accepted into Stern. I will definitely be taking AP Calculus next year. Gosh, this is hard.</p>
<p>Is it possible to apply ED I to NYU Stern and if I get rejected, apply ED II to NYU CAS? How does this work?</p>
<p>Is it so that if I apply to Stern and get rejected, I have absolutely no chance of going to NYU at all? Or can I still be considered for CAS, since it says “if we are unable to give you a spot in the program/school you are applying to, would you like to be considered for another school at NYU”? What does this mean?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, NYU says that if you are rejected ED, you may not reapply. Also, I MAY be wrong about this, but I believe that if you are rejected from Stern, you will not be considered for CAS. I’m pretty sure that whole “other school/program” option is for CAS applicants to consider being placed in the LS program. Never have I heard of someone getting rejected from Stern and then considered for CAS. </p>
<p>I would like to add that I was once in a very similar position to you. I wanted to major in Entrepreneurship and I also wanted to go to NYU really badly. I knew that I would never get into Stern. I developed other interests and decided to apply ED to CAS. I am hoping to major in International Relations with a minor in Business (which is possible through CAS). If I enjoy this, I might go to business grad school.</p>
<p>I also want to point out that you can do an internal transfer into Stern. It might not be as hard as a lot of people say it is, and it certainly seems easier than getting in straight from high school. If you do not think that your high school GPA and SAT are good enough to get into Stern, then apply to CAS, get a good GPA freshman year, take the same classes that the Sternies will be taking, and apply for a transfer. I found a lot more info about that here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/new-york-university/1323947-truth-about-internal-transfer-stern-cas.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/new-york-university/1323947-truth-about-internal-transfer-stern-cas.html</a></p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Hey ilovegoldfish, that’s amazing! I’m literally in the same position as you were before. I really want to major in Entrepreneurship at Stern but I’m not too sure that I’d get in. I’m already a Junior and I have not taken any AP classes (just Honors), I have some pretty good leadership positions… but my strongest point would be my essay. If that’s not good enough for Stern, then I’m done for! 
I think I’ll take your route… honestly, CAS is not bad at all to me. I just want to strive for Stern but it sucks knowing that if I don’t get in, I won’t be able to get into CAS. Man! That’s a painful process. :/</p>
