<p>I'm a little confused, so I just want to make sure- you can only apply to ONE school within NYU right? </p>
<p>My friend applied to Stern ED, and he got accepted, but he also got admission to CAS. How does that work?</p>
<p>Also, if you get accepted to CAS as a freshman, can you transfer to Stern later (like sophomore year of college?)</p>
<p>You can only apply to ONE school. Students in Stern are allowed to double major in CAS. So he wasn’t really admitted to CAS, so much as he is allowed to take classes/majors/minors from CAS. </p>
<p>Transfer from CAS to Stern is highly unlikely. It’s easier to gain admission to Stern as a transfer student from a different university. Which is more difficult than gaining admission as a freshmen. If you don’t gain admission as a freshmen, it’s highly unlikely that you will gain admission as a transfer.</p>
<p>I’m not quite sure how your friend got accepted into both Stern and CAS, unless you are talking about the Liberal Studies Program. LSP is completely different. You can only apply to one school, that is true, but you are perfectly able to transfer to any other school sophomore year. Generally, the other schools will let you in if you have a GPA higher than a 3.0 (except for Stern, which is a little stricter). Even if you don’t, not to worry, you still have your spot in your old school!</p>
<p>I know several people who have transferred from CAS to Stern and other people who double major cross-schools. If the option ever comes up that you want to do, say, Marketing from Stern but also Philosophy, you can do it!</p>
<p>The average GPA for CAS, Stern, Steinhardt, Gallatin is an A-</p>
<p>A 3.0 is a B average. Not even close. You’ll need higher than a 3.0 to be admitted to NYU unless you have exceptional circumstances. Only 1% of all students at NYU had a HS GPA of 3.0 or lower.</p>
<p>I meant you will be accepted into almost any NYU school with a 3.0+ GPA AFTER you are in LSP. Definitely not for freshmen admissions.</p>
<p>Ah - I wasn’t sure if you meant freshmen admissions. In which case I was very skeptical as to what made you think a 3.0 was sufficient for admissions to NYU.</p>
<p>Also, NYU defines on the LSP website “good standing” as a 2.0, not a 3.0, to transfer into your original school.</p>
<p>That might be true, I’ve heard that number too. The last advisor I spoke to told me a 3.0, but some things tend to differ depending on who you ask, it seems.</p>
<p>totiebinds, I wasn’t talking about LSP. I think it might have something to do with what NYU2013 said though about the cross-majoring.</p>
<p>I had another question. On CommonApp there is an option which asks if you want to be considered for other schools that may suit your fielld if you don’t get into the one you originally chose. Say I select yes - do they ACTUALLY consider that? Like if I apply to CAS, but I don’t get in because they think I’d do better in Stern - would they give me admission to Stern then? (or vice versa)</p>
<p>no, generally what that means is if your credentials aren’t exactly up to par with the school you’re applying to (except Tisch or Stern) they may LSP you. (liberal studies program)
In LSP you take liberal studies course for your first two years and then are able to transfer into your original school. But I’ve never heard of someone applying to CAS and then getting moved to Stern.</p>
