<p>It’s ~42k for tuition, all-in it’s 65k a year. This includes room, board, meal plans, and the arbitrary personal expenses. If you’re dorming, plan to dish out ~65k per year. And tuition increases 3-5% a year now due to inflation. </p>
<p>I think the 26k means for all four years. So more like a little more than 6k per year. Sounds about right. I know 65k seems daunting, so think this one through. </p>
<p>@Mufasa11</p>
<p>It’s worth applying. Who knows, anything can happen. Plan for the worst though. With an income of 30k a year, I don’t know if this is attainable without high financial aid. </p>
<p>Personally, I think OCR (on-campus recruiting) is a bit of a crapshoot, even for Sternies. They tell me this also. Think of a gigantic room full of Asians and Indians throwing their resumes to an overwhelmed recruiter. Your chance of anything materializing through that is marginal. </p>
<p>Try building your own contact base. Whatever school you go end up going to. Reach out to alumni and CAS Econ grads. That one-on-one interaction I believe is much better. I guarantee you that’s a lot easier than going through an endless number of overcrowded events. </p>
<p>Case and point: There was a career fair in the beginning of the year. All I saw were elevators filled with Asians and Indians fumbling around their resumes, looking like the douchiest bunch of college kids on the planet. The chance of getting any recognition in that recruiting maze is minute.</p>
<p>I disagree with jackhammer about campus recruiting. Seems like he may be basing his judgment on career fair for the most part, and career fair is indeed a claustrophobic’s worst nightmare. The recruiters there are mostly there to talk to juniors and seniors, and it is basically like a giant networking event held in a room entirely too small. The places real recruiting goes on is at club meetings. If you go to NYU and you want to get into business, no matter what school you are in, you need to join Stern clubs and have Stern somewhere on your resume (there are employers specifically looking for this once they see you went to NYU CAS or whatever). Most, if not all, clubs are open to all students. There might be some clubs that are exclusively Stern, like Economics Honors Society or the Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity. Those club events are much more personal and a lot of the current employees who come with the recruiting team are very recent alumni who have spent usually no more than three years with the firm. In addition to the club hosted events, there is also a large number of networking and informational events at Wasserman. In a given week, I would say about 10 recruiting/networking events are held at Stern clubs and Wasserman. So if you are not lazy and know what you should do, you can at least get an internship through campus recruiting easily.</p>
<p>I’m talking more about the official OCR like career fairs and Wasserman events. Club meetings and events are much better in that sense, but I wouldn’t characterize it as official recruiting.</p>
<p>jackhammer, the club events ARE the official OCR, if such a thing exists. I see you’re in CAS but if you want to go into business, you really need to check out a few of those events.</p>
<p>So for my sat scores, I got a 610 on my writing first time without studying. The second time I took it, I got a 570 on my reading, and I think I did absolutely terrible on this section for the one I took today. The third time I got a 540 on my math, but I took it again today and I think I did really well on my math (idk, I could totally have bombed it, I think I might have gotten in the 600s?). </p>
<p>So NYU superscores, right? How horrendous are my scores? What’s acceptable? How can I compensate for my terrible reading (and likely terrible math) scores?</p>
<p>also, im not sure you’re right that the 26k is for all four years. because im reading in this NYU booklet that i got and it says “most NYU undergraduates receive financial aid to support contributions made by themselves ad their families; most of them will not be responsible for these costs in their entirety. the most recent average financial aid award for incoming freshman was $26,056…” i think thats for a single year, right?</p>
<p>Hi jackhammer
I’m a junior student from Hong Kong and studying local diploma. So we don’t have AP or honors class in here, we choose electives which we want to study. Currently I’m taking 4 core subjects and 3 electives (Core:Chinese, English, Mathematics, Liber Studies; Electives: Phy, Chem, Econ) I really really want to get into NYU for my college. So I think next year senior year I might come to US (NJ) for senior year and finish my high school life (hope they won’t get me to repeat junior year :S). </p>
<p>I will take SAT and SAT II (phy, chem, math 2) soon. I want to apply CAS (chemistry) as major and try get into NYU Med School (It’s not a easy work for me :S). Also not much ECs or community service :(</p>
<p>In the coming 2013 Jan, I will look up for NYU pre-college course and see if I will get accept to have a summer course in NYU after finish my junior year. Also might apply NYU ALI for summer to improve my English also (if it would help). </p>
<p>However, I’m predicting that I might not get into NYU directly and fall into community college, because SAT is totally a new thing to me since i’m a non-native speaker, so I might get a very low score, I think SAT II would be alright :S. But if I failed to get into NYU, applying NYU’s CCTOP is it easy to get back to NYU? I could ignore the financial aid if its more easy to get in
Is there any suggestion that I could know? </p>
<p>Thanks a lot.
Anthony
(Sorry for my bad English)</p>
<p>Yea I know. My grade in sophomore and freshman class just screwed up Didn’t realize US universities also care about our school grades and ECs, i thought they just only care about our public exams grade. This is the only thing will care in HK’s universities.
Sigh…looking forward to apply nyu pre-college program and ALI</p>
<p>Math is competitive here. Courant is a very prestigious part of NYU and people there tend to be highly qualified. But you don’t apply directly to Courant. You apply to CAS. Graduate is more highly acclaimed than undergrad. Achievements would help your overall application and would further your cause to be admitted to NYU overall. Think about it, someone could just say they’re applying to do English here and then change to Math. So understand that you’re applying to CAS. The achievements will help you regardless.</p>
<p>Lol not that competitive. Stats for Steinhardt are typically lower. Overall, a 28 ACT at NYU would be low, but for Steinhardt I think that’s ok. But if you can, try aiming as high as you can.</p>
<p>could you please clarify for me exactly how many tests we’re supposed to send to NYU for undergrad admission? the more sources I read, the more I get confused…</p>
<p>NYU’s website seems to say that they need 3 SAT II’s, yet other people have said that it’s actually just 2 required, and the third one is recommended. Then again, I’ve also read from other people that it’s 3 SAT II’s OR 3 AP’s…good lord I’m confused.</p>
<p>From the NYU website, Notice the ONE of the following AND ORs in the requirements.</p>
<p>"To be eligible for admission, applicants are expected to submit results from one of the following testing options:</p>
<p>The SAT Reasoning Test; or</p>
<p>The ACT with Writing Test; or</p>
<p>Three SAT Subject Test scores; or</p>
<p>Three AP exam scores; or</p>
<p>The International Baccalaureate Diploma; or</p>
<p>Three IB higher-level exam scores (if you are not an IB Diploma candidate); or</p>
<p>Results from a nationally accredited exam that is considered locally to signify the completion of secondary education, is administered independently of the student’s school, and has been approved by the NYU Office of Undergraduate Admissions (approved options are listed below)"</p>
<p>How is the housing and meals at freshmen residence halls. Is financial aid really a bummer as I have heard? Most privates help out middle income students but NYU appears to not have a decent aid package.</p>
<p>I’m confused about applying to schools within NYU. Is there an application for each school or do you get in to certain schools once you get into NYU? This question is probably so stupid, but I can’t find the answer anywhere</p>
