<p>This may be beyond the scope of the freshman answering here, but since we are talking about transferring, how helpful is it to have been previously admitted? My kid was accepted to an audition program in Tisch last year and has decided to try to transfer into that same program afer spending a year elsewhere. Straight As at the current school. The auditioner mentioned that the previous acceptance would be taken into account in making the transfer decision, but the whole thing feels very up in the air. Has anyone had or heard of success, or lack of it, when reapplying to a program one has been accepted to previously?</p>
<p>Historically, transfer acceptance rates are lower than high school acceptance rates, but the previous admission definitely helps. Admission would be far more skeptical if you applied in high school and didn’t get in, then tried again. I’ve heard of everything, the high school acceptance and then accepted again, as well as the high school acceptance and then the transfer rejection. It’s all circumstantial. </p>
<p>Again, your kid is by no means guaranteed admission in the transfer process. However, the straight A’s in college are really the only thing different that has been added to the application, which further boosts your app. Your kid obviously isn’t a shoe-in, but with the GPA and previous acceptance, your in a much better place than other transfers are.</p>
<p>Actually I called and e-mailed NYU, you are permitted to retake standardized tests, that’s why I was wondering how much it would hurt you if you didn’t do well while taking them as a freshman in college, and if it’s better to just send your high school scores.</p>
<p>^so you would recommend to retake tests?</p>
<p>Did anyone go to NYU London during their freshman year? Please tell me the experience and the pros/cons. thanks!</p>
<p>@hsclassof2011</p>
<p>I guess if you can re-take the SAT’s then go for it because the only scores NYU would see are the ones that you reports. So even if you bomb the SAT on your latest go-around, the only thing you would lose is a registration fee. To refresh your mind for SAT questions, do some practice problems. </p>

<p>See above. </p>

<p>The only people who could go to London their freshman year are those in LSP, so you’d have to ask people in LSP.</p>
<p>Are there any Latin countries Econ majors can go to?</p>
<p>Being someone who is pursuing a future in business, should I major in Econ at Stern as opposed to CAS? </p>
<p>What are the admission requirements for Stern as opposed to CAS? I took the SAT this past weekend. Anxious to hear what I got. :/</p>
<p>would the greek life be considered pretty small or nonexistent? where do you fit along the spectrum of people who party/club/drink and the people who avoid it</p>
<p>@jsraquel</p>
<p>There is a study abroad program in Buenos Aires. You can go anywhere, you just have to know whether there are Econ classes being taught there at that time, and whether you would be willing to use your electives there. </p>
<p>If you go to Stern, it would probably be in your best interest to major in finance or double in something with finance. Econ CAS is supposedly top-10 in the country, while Stern’s Econ isn’t as reputed as their finance program. Recruiting opportunities are better in Stern, but if you are dead set on going into business, the Stern track of Econ+Finance would be good.</p>
<p>It’s harder to get into Stern in terms of acceptance rate. More quantitative than CAS. They don’t publish acceptance rates, but I believe Stern is around 20-25% while CAS is around 30%. CAS is more prone to read your application including the writing material as opposed to just your stats. </p>

<p>I know more people who go into Greek life than I initially estimated I would. It’s small, but I wouldn’t say it’s nonexistent. I’m not hardcore into partying. I don’t do anything during the week. I tend to avoid big parties and big clubs. I tend to fall along with the people who avoid the big stuff, but stick to the smaller scenes</p>
<p>Hi, I am an international student from Canada, and just wanted to know if you have met any other international freshmen, if it is relatively easy to get in “international”, if u have any clue at all… and also what is the tuition?</p>
<p>There’s a lot of internationals here. Especially from Canada since it’s close. It’s not easier, rather it’s harder to get in as an international because you are competing for fewer spots. Each NYU class is approximately 5000 students so it’s not like internationals are scarce. Tuition rises between 3-5% every year, and last year it was about $42k, but with room, board, books, and personal expenses you can realistically expect to pay between $60,000-$65,000. Internationals don’t get financial aid either.</p>
<p>Ah alright perfect, thanks. Also, I wanted to ask about the dorms, narrowing it down between Goddard and Hayden, I really would love a freshmans perspective… I am into the social scene, I do go enjoy a good party, but if Hayden is hard core, I’m scared it will suck me in, but if Goddard is too full of overachievers I’m scared I’m gonna hate the
Ppl in my dorm lol :/</p>
<p>Sorry to burst your bubble, but NYU in general isn’t that “hardcore” in terms of the party scene. 
Goddard has the community aspect to it, so you’d have to do community service. From what I understand, those in Goddard are tight-knit and like to hang out together. Hayden has the parties and the typical ambulance sighting on Friday/Saturday night. The people are really friendly in both places. A lot of rooms have their doors open so everyone wants to meet new people. They both have proximity to campus. </p>
<p>It all comes down to whether or not you want a close knit group of friends and the community service involved with Goddard. If you want to have a designated group then Goddard would be your dorm, but if you want to explore new friend circles and have choices, along with the party scene Hayden is your dorm.</p>
<p>Haha alright, thanks! :)</p>
<p>I have heard that Founders is a kind of closed door type dorm. I have also heard it is catching up with Hayden in its “party” reputation. How true is that?</p>
<p>Yeah that’s relatively accurate. From the floors I’ve been on in Founders, most rooms do have their doors closed. Also I’d say aside from Hayden, Founders and 3rd North are gaining steam with their party reputations.</p>
<p>Hey jackhammer25, </p>
<p>I am an international student.
I was just interested if I have high or low chances to get accepted to CAS Econ.
My SAT scores: CR: 530; M: 790; W: 690 (I took the test 4 times though)
My SAT math level 2 score is 800.
Also I am not applying for fin aid - I thought this could be a factor.</p>
<p>Also in my commonapp I have indicated my SAT scores from earlier test date, because after applying early decision to other university, I couldn’t change them there. So, I really hope that they will consider my newest and best scores which were sent through collegeboard.</p>
<p>Thank You.</p>
<p>jackhammer25–Thanks again for sharing all of the information you have been. I am curious about what your take is on Tisch, and Tisch students. What do you hear about the program? Do the Tisch students like what they are getting? Thanks.</p>
<p>@college00000</p>
<p>Apparently NYU only uses the CR+M scores, so you would have a 1320/1600, which is average. I can’t give you a great chancing without grades or GPA and other application material, but based on your SAT scores you stand a shot, but haven’t distinguished yourself. You know by now you have great math scores. Internationals can’t apply for financial aid, so that doesn’t matter. </p>

<p>Everyone I know in Tisch loves it. The students there of course are typically the artsy and hipster types. Tisch has world-renowned programs that always rank in the top 5. The only concern people have are their job prospects after, but the programs sound incredible and I only hear positive things.</p>
<p>It is known to be an awesome program, and I suspect that most of the students (at least in the performance end) realize job prospects for them aren’t what they are for others in other careers. We are just waiting to see if son has been accepted to the acting program and was curious if the students really loved Tisch! Many thanks!</p>
