Hello guys, just wanted to start a thread on these three colleges within NYU rather than Stern. I am international student and let’s state the obvious, stats, FA and scholarship within each school of NYU
So i had got into NYU Shanghi class of 2023 but couldn’t attend then. Now I am applying to NYU main campus and Abu dhabi as my second option.
CHANCE ME? Current NYU students, prospectives give me your thoughts, and others who have an opinion 
Applied to NYU Gallatin as my main option and then CAS, LS and GLS.
About my stats;
90% or 3.83 GPA

Letter of Recommendation - Two of my favorite teacher and mostly got amazing LOR.

Ask yourself why do you want to attend Gallatin. As a current student the sales pitch sounds great if you are into Gender Studies, Poetry, Social Causes. But the reality is that the advising that they tout so much is haphazard at best. The advising is actually really bad compared to what my friends receive at Miami Of Ohio, Univ. Of Southern California, Colorado Boulder, etc. You can’t get the classes you want at the other schools at NYU because they go to the students of that college and you are left scrambling to take a hodgepodge of classes just to keep track to your credits.
If you have other options… seriously consider them. Your parents will be glad and better off financially.
Late reply but I’ve heard a similar experience with an alum friend of mine. I was just recently accepted into NYU Gallatin and I’m already looking at a potential internal transfer to stern (very hard but doable was how it was described to me) or CAS for Econ because of how hectic selecting classes seems to be. I’ve watched tons of Gallatin videos and talks by the Dean Wofford and she seems to explain how advising is a strong suit of Gallatin’s and how they don’t expect 18 year olds to know how to create a concentration but I’m not sure if they’re gonna help micromanage the exact spaces a class has left for students to take. Seems weird to say the least
