<p>Yes. You will be a complete outcast and have a miserable college experience :|</p>
<p>Haha I’m just kidding! Honestly, you got into NY-freaking-U so I don’t think there’s anything to look down upon</p>
<p>I feel self conscious with a 1790 sat everyone here is 2000+ This sucks</p>
<p>^Nope I got a 1900. Yay for <2000 scorers!</p>
<p>Nobody openly berates LSP kids at NYU. I’ve heard a few jokes and snickering behind people’s backs, but everyone here is looking to make friends and get along. LSP gossip doesn’t exist. Anyway, by junior year you’ll be in another school. People compare SAT scores a lot the beginning of freshman year, but after that no one cares. People tend to leave high school things for the past.</p>
<p>jackhammer25, I have a 2150 SAT and am in LSP so will I be looked down upon if people are comparing SAT scores?</p>
<p>No one cares if you are in LSP. No one goes around asking. The place is loaded with students. It is not the first thing on anybody’s mind.</p>
<p>2150 is on the high end for kids in LSP. In fact low SAT scores are typically the reason kids get placed in LSP. But milkandsugar is right. Nobody cares if you’re in LSP. It’s not a big talking point.</p>
<p>Okay thank you.</p>
<p>I was wondering why I was placed in LSP with my SAT score but maybe it’s because my GPA is 3.69/4.3 Weighted.</p>
<p>Or maybe it’s because I wrote a lot about liberal studies and wanting to study abroad etc in my essays. </p>
<p>Either way, I actually like the idea of LSP and thinks it seems like a pretty good/cool program to be a part of. :)</p>
<p>I’m sorry to ask for a chancing again, but could you do it pleaseee? </p>
<p>SAT: super score of 2260 (740 CR 790 M 730 W) *side note- does NYU admissions only look at the highest scores in each section? If not, I have a 2160 [740 CR 700M 720W]</p>
<p>course rigor: school doesn’t allow students to take APs until junior year…but junior year took AP psych and USH, both 5s. Will be taking Calc AB, English Lit, and Bio. All other classes are honors. </p>
<p>GPA: (scale of 100) 101.6 weighted</p>
<p>ECs: science club president, national honor society, volunteering about 130hrs in hospitals, math club, jazz band, internship at a steel company during the summer, TA. </p>
<p>A by the way question: I’m considering a major for bio (so I applied to CAS) but also thinking about finance/business. Do people transfer from CAS to Stern? If a lot do, is it an easy process?</p>
<p>jackhammer, what is the SAT range for CAS?</p>
<p>@jackhammer Wait, NYU only considers math/CR scores for the SATs? D: This is not good! I thought that NYU superscores?</p>
<p>@rickyjang</p>
<p>In short, I’d say you’re likely in but I don’t know anything about your school and such. Transferring form CAS to Stern is extremely difficult. Every year apparently only 10-15 people are accepted to transfer in, and I think that number includes transfers from other colleges. </p>
<p>@cnhaynes</p>
<p>It’s on the SAT website on the NYU profile. Individual schools within NYU can be varied though. Stern’s average is around a 2100, CAS is 2000 or so, and other schools like Tisch have it around a 1900. </p>
<p>@HelloParis</p>
<p>They do superscore. But when they get all your SAT scores, they don’t consider the writing portion. So only the CR+M parts are superscored.</p>
<p>Well I’m screwed writing was my highest haha so not excited for decisions, but yet I kind of am. Ugh.</p>
<p>A good place to be in would be a 1300-1350/1600 if you wanna apply for CAS and 1400-1450/1600 if you’re applying to Stern.</p>
<p>For Stern the writing section isn’t useless. If you get a 750+ on writing then you can place out of Writing the Essay and into Commerce and Culture. An equivalent ACT score won’t work though.</p>
<p>Yes! 1420/2160.
Although I fear the Stern curve and the high tuition that’s only getting higher, haha.</p>
<p>I’m working to bump my GPA, it’s 3.5/4.17. Also am involving myself more with my ECs.
I’m rethinking ED though… I might ED to UCLA here since I live in California. Would you say I’d probably end up better off that way? This could be beyond your scope since you attend NYU after all, but whatever you have to say I’m open to.</p>
<p>you’ve probably answered these questions a thousand times but which freshmen dorms are the best? i’ve heard its between Hayden and Founders
also, is the greek life gaining momentum? do they have housing or special floors?</p>
<p>Hi @jackhammer25,
I just got accepted to CAS majoring in ECON(really pleased!).Would like to ask you a few questions:
How full is your timetable? i.e. how many hrs of lectures and seminars. How many courses do you need to do each year and what are they?(apart from those in Econ department) Also, how about the chances of getting interns? </p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>@jsraquel</p>
<p>UCLA would be cheaper, but I believe they don’t have an undergrad business school. The closest you come to that is Econ. I’d weigh that in also. I don’t know much about UCLA though. Nicer weather is a plus lol</p>
<p>@santabarbie18</p>
<p>As I’ve said before, it’s all about preferences. Founders is farther, but has the biggest rooms. Hayden is on the park and known as the frosh party dorm. All dorms have their positives and negatives though. When you’re here, you’ll realize that where you dorm isn’t as big a deal as you think because you get used to it and end up spending most of your time outside of it anyway. It doesn’t totally make or break your freshman year. </p>
<p>@bessyliao</p>
<p>You’ll have class 4 or 5 days a week. You can get 4 if you move a recitation or two around. A lot of people do that because Thursday is sometimes a party night. Lectures are all one hour and fifteen minutes long. Seminars are 2 or 2 and a half hours long. </p>
<p>16-18 credits each semester, so that’s 4 classes since each is 4 credits and a few classes are 6 credits so that would be your 16-18 credits there. Freshman year you’ll take a lot of MAP classes.</p>
<p>Internships are hard to come by freshman year simply because freshman have no skills that can help employers, unless you simply want to bring coffee around or do the labor they don’t feel like doing themselves. </p>
<p>I got a internship freshman year, but I also sent out 40-50 applications and out of that got only 3 interviews. It’s partly luck since employers only hire when they need people, which is at select times. I’ve heard from upperclassmen it’s much easier getting internships sophomore year. Chances are, during your 4 years at NYU if you want an internship you’ll likely be able to pull something off as long as you don’t set your bar out of reach.</p>
<p>@jackhammer25</p>
<p>Thx a lot! Another really silly question…are courses generally one term long?(actually more than one) How many hours of classes will you get each week? Also, how difficult it is to get a job after 4 years in NYU(econ major).
I really love NYU but my parents worry a bit about getting a job after graduation…I also got an offer from LSE, which they pretty much fancy because it seems easy to get a job…</p>
<p>Courses are one semester long usually meeting 2-3 times a week. Not difficult to get a job, but harder getting a job in Investment banking/Wall Street because Econ majors don’t have the usual finance education. </p>
<p>I’d go to LSE. More prestigious. NYU Econ is top 10, but LSE is better.</p>
