Hello. It’s not possible to do a dual degree at Stern. I don’t even think you can directly minor at Stern (I’ve tried). You can, however, minor in Business Studies at CAS, and take some classes at Stern to fulfill the minor requirements.
I don’t think being at Poly will help you transfer to Stern. I think they even say this on their website. It’s quite difficult to get into Stern, more or less transfer, so you’re stuck at Poly. I can’t answer your question about salary. You’re going to have to look that up yourself. I have heard nothing but good things about the BTM major though, so you shouldn’t worry too much. I do recommend that you do your research though. If you find anything interesting, please post it here so your fellow peers may acquire your newly found knowledge.
@PolyEngineer Thanks for the help!!! Oh wow why is Stern so secluded and exclusive of other NYU schools…it seems weird they don’t even allow for a cross school minor…yeah my only concern was that I field of interest was in financial analyst or investment banking and at other schools I applied for the business schools’ finance program. I was going to do the same at NYU but the BTM seemed very appealing as it was a combination. Oh well guess it must be for the best. I’ll try doing some research into the BTM program for those who are interested in it. Do you know why Stern is so like exclusive and hush hush about everything? Like I heard that they have seminars with some top NYC area firms ( Goldman, JP, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley etc.) but they don’t tell Or let other NYU students into the events. Why do they do that???
To be honest, I have no idea. I guess it’s because their program is pretty prestigious. I don’t know the reason why they don’t inform other students or schools, but it’s probably just because they want to boast about how great they are. Nevertheless, you can still find these internships and seminars on your own if you’re determined. Don’t let it get to you. If there’s a will, there’s a way!
Hi, I was admitted through the waitlist for NYU Poly. I am going to be majoring in chemical and biomolecular engineering at NYU Poly. I am confused about when things are due, when and how I should be registering for classes. How does everything work?
Thank you. I was admitted like maybe half a month ago and I made my nyu email and such. For registering classes for poly, when does that start? My classmates who are going to nyu cas are already registering for classes. Is the registration process for each school different? I also read somewhere that I need to meet with my adviser and get adviser approval before I can register for classes? Is this right?
@newml123
I’m not too sure when it starts. I believe it does differ between schools. It doesn’t matter anyways… All of your first year classes will be at Poly, and they have a lot of sections because they are expecting many freshmen, so don’t worry about classes closing.
In regards to the meeting with your advisor, last year, all I had to do is complete some online course. It was done all electronically for me, so you should expect the same thing. This information will all be provided once it’s time.
@newml123 hey! I think you would find it very helpful if you joined the poly 2019 Facebook group if you have a Facebook. You can find the answers to most of your questions there
There is a registration tutorial coming up on June 15th, and then there’s an advisor appointment thing on the 22nd and on July 1st registration opens up and you can pick your classes.
How is intro general chemistry in polytechnic? Is it a particularly hard course to take freshman year, or is it not that hard to get a 90+ in the class?
If you’re talking about chemistry for engineers or whatever it is called, it depends. There is one professor named
Mitra that goes HARD and everybody seems to get a C+ in his class, haha. I haven’t taken it yet so I can’t say, but a lot of friends that had Mitra HATED it.
As far as classes go, I believe depends on your major but most majors have nearly all of their classes at the Brooklyn Campus. You can definitely take some classes (mostly electives like language courses, music, etc.) at the main campus but most courses which are required by your major will be at poly brooklyn campus.
For switching majors to another school, it really depends on which school you want to transfer to – every school is different. For example, if you want to transfer from poly to CAS it’s much much easier than if you want to transfer from poly to Stern. You also need to wait and complete one year at poly in order to do an internal transfer to another school.
@Ali121 thank you for answering!
Would you have to reapply to the university to transfer like you have to at Columbia when going from CC to SEAS (or vice versa)?
I’m not really familiar with how Columbia works but at NYU, when you want to apply to another major at a different school, you apply for an internal transfer. How it works is that you just write a couple of essays (which varies depending the school), then they look at your grades during freshman year and I believe they also take into consideration your high school transcript and standardized test scores. Some schools are pretty strict and look for very high grades and scores (like stern), other schools are easier and more lenient I believe.
I’m not sure what you exactly mean but NYU requires both a standardized test score (ACT or SAT) and your GPA. I don’t think they have a preference; they look at both, however, usually your standardized test score is more powerful than your GPA. If you have good essays, good GPA, and your SAT score is 2000 or higher, you’ll most likely be accepted to poly.
