<p>Is it worth applying to NYU CAS for Econ. I currently have a 3.5 at Rutgers NB which can potentially be a 3.6 after this semester but am debating whether to apply to Stern or CAS. I want to try and land a IBanking job. Hows the placement out of NYU CAS? Any Opinions?</p>
<p>I'm currently at NYU pursuing an Econ degree with a pre-business minor. Placement with I-banks is very good, and finding internships with top banks is quite easy. I would pursue a pre-business minor so you have a strong finance and accounting background to supplement your econ degree.</p>
<p>Also, if you're planning on going to business school later and become an i-banking associate, I would go with Econ in CAS.</p>
<p>Is this actually true? Becuase in APril you were pretty skeptical.</p>
<p>PS Ibanking sucks, I kinda heard that from everyone.</p>
<p>Well in April I wasen't at NYU and thus and hadn't met NYU alumni or academic advisors for CAS. Why would I post this if it weren't true?</p>
<p>I-banking does not suck, it is just not for everyone. Doing an internship beforehand can give you a taste of what the job is like and whether or not it is for you.</p>
<p>That's true, so the CAS Econ department isn't really shadowed by Stern in terms of job placement?</p>
<p>Im applying as a Romance Langauge major, and I will probably double up with Math Econ. I have been skeptical ever since seeing that Stern has an Econ department.</p>
<p>Check out this thread, it will answer some of your questions.</p>
<p>is math econ a double major in math and economics?
In the undergraduate prospectus they appear as seperate majors.
Economics
Economics and Mathematics</p>
<p>I would like to major in Romance Languages and Economics but bot triple major in ROmance, Econ, and Math.</p>
<p>Would it be a double or triple major?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure it's a double...econ and math bascially focuses on the mathematical part of econ rather than the theory.</p>
<p>Yea, just found it, I looked before. Its called a joint Major, you cut off some econ and add on some math. Now for getting in to NYU.</p>
<p>You can major in Economics at NYU CAS with a concentration in Policy or Theory. Theory is the quantative version. Additionally, you can do a joint major of Economic (Theory track/concentration) and Math.</p>
