<p>I was wondering, what programs does nyu offer? because i heard there were different schools in nyu like tish. my question is which one is which and what is the application process for them?</p>
<p>Laura</p>
<p>That's a hard one... you're going to have to research this yourself. just keep browsing the academic prgs. and schools link at nyu.edu
tisch school of arts. (performing arts)
College of Arts and Science.
Leonard Stern (Business)
Gallatin school of individualized studies.
etc etc etc...
they have the same basic application (if i recall correctly), u just indicate what school u want to apply to. maybe they have different essays for diff. schools. for eg. if u're applying to stern, they'll ask u what draws you to business etc.
get on the mailing list, request a prospectus.
There are hundreds of programs. what do YOU want to do?</p>
<p>Okay I'll just add on some to that.</p>
<p>-CAS is where all the liberal arts majors are (history, math, international relations, etc.)
-Stern is, as said, for business
-Gallatin: a lot of people are confused about this. Individualized study means where you want to major in something that isn't offered as an NYU major (i.e. Entertainment Law or I think one I heard someone doing was Comic Book creation). Sometimes this will combine two or three other majors into one, sometimes it'll just take various classes. It's not a place for simply double majoring, that can be done at any of the schools, with limits.
-Tisch: drama, dance, film, photography, recorded music, dramatic writing. You have to send in a portfolio or audition for these majors. The requirements are on the Tisch website.
-Social Work: just social work. period.
-Steinhardt: majors such as education, studio art, music, teaching theater (something like that). This is the school I personally know least about. Some majors require an audition/portfolio, some dont. Again, you can check the website.</p>
<p>All of those except Steinhardt and Tisch you can just apply to the school itself. S & T you have to apply to your specific major. If you want to know more about a particular school, just go to <a href="http://www.nyu.edu%5B/url%5D">http://www.nyu.edu</a> and theres a drop down box at the top that lets you go to the specific school websites, and each school site should have a list of the majors they offer (except Gallatin). You'll see other schools listed, but the ones we told you about are the Undergrad schools.</p>
<p>Hope this helped!</p>
<p>i'm surprised that steinhardt is really low profile at NYU
I've been hearing that Communications is one of the biggest department or most popular major or something at NYU</p>
<p>but yea, it's the school with all the misc. majors</p>
<p>that helps a lot. i think i would like to double major. i know their theatre program is really good... my interests lie in marketing, nanotechnology, aeronautics engineering, and anything else i won't end up being bored of. i'd be going in fresh if i choose any of those options because my strengths are in the arts. =T sucks for me. best graphic design in school, anything photoshop related i probably know it. its just that if i decide to go into the world like that its going to be tough living. so i think double majoring is much better.</p>
<p>is it hard to get in? like in terms of what they want.
current students if any please post stats if you don't mind. i just want to know that i stand a chance.</p>
<p>Scrapnel, you forgot Cinema Studies at Tisch.</p>
<p>If your strengths lie in the arts, and you're simply worried about the feasibility of a lucrative career, then I'd suggest applying for Drama at Tisch and looking for a double major you would enjoy in CAS (<a href="http://www.nyu.edu/cas/Academic/Programs/Programs.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.nyu.edu/cas/Academic/Programs/Programs.html</a>). As a Cinema Studies major in Tisch, this is what I'm considering doing (leaning toward Philosophy). If you're truly passionate about marketing, moreso than the arts, then you could apply to Stern, but if your main focus is simply going to NYU (Stern and Tisch are definitely the most competitive NYU schools, and I am talking about academically for Tisch as well), then you could apply directly to a major you like at CAS. I wouldn't recommend this, however, because it means that you will never be able to major in Drama or Marketing. That being said, if NYU is your focus rather than either of these careers/areas, applying to CAS would make sense.</p>
<p>You should probably just post your stats, and we'll evaluate your chances... The people at this board (statistically) are definitely not representative of NYU as a whole. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, here are NYU's stats for the class of '09, and you can compare them to yourself:</p>
<p><a href="http://admissions.nyu.edu/fast_facts/%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.nyu.edu/fast_facts/</a>
Note: These are the stats only for baccalaureate programs (which is probably what you're going to be pursuing), and that is why they differ from the stats you'll find at collegeboard and other college websites.</p>
<p>Percent Offered Admission: 29.7%
Average High School GPA: 3.63
SAT Score Range (middle 50%): 1310 1440
Ranked in Top 10% of High School Class: 71.9%</p>
<p>If your SAT is a little lower, you have a chance at GSP (<a href="http://www.nyu.edu/gsp/%5B/url%5D">http://www.nyu.edu/gsp/</a>), I don't know enough about it to explain it)... I don't think these stats include GSP. Also, expect slightly higher stats for Stern and Tisch and don't forget that things like ECs, essays, recs, and artistic portfolios (for Tisch) count as well.</p>
<p>I hope that helps.</p>
<p>Shirobot - haha whoops, sorry. I knew I'd forget something!</p>
<p>Romantik - I'm going to have to go against what Shirobot said. I would not apply to drama if I were you unless you are dead on committed to trying to make that your career. Drama students have INTENSE schedules of studio 3 times a week, 2 "normal" classes a week, and having to put on plays and all sorts of things like that. They are devoted and committed to what they are doing and plan on doing it for as long as they can.</p>
<p>Now, graphic design...hmm, not sure if NYU has anything to cover that. You may want to check out Steinhardt and their "miscellaneous majors" because I know they have studio art. And although I know that's not the same, maybe they have some sort of graphic design in there somewhere. I know undergrad Tisch doesn't, though (closest would be photograph).</p>
<p>But yes, if you do want to do a double major, make sure you have an idea what those two majors will be when you apply to NYU. Because if you are in, say, Steinhardt, you can only have another major in Steinhardt or CAS. Not Stern, not Social Work, nothing like that. Same goes with the other schools. You can only have a second major within your school or CAS (if you're in CAS you can only have a second major in CAS). So make sure you get to the right school to start off at.</p>
<p>I thought for tisch, your artistic capabilities mattered the most? There is leeway for gpa and sats?</p>
<p>For Tish, academics vs. artistic abilities are weighed 50/50. There may be a little leeway, but most of the kids I know who got in had high stats in addition to good auditions/portfolios/etc.</p>
<p>Scrapnel: Maybe I didn't make it clear, but that is what I meant. When I said, "If your strengths lie in the arts, and you're simply worried about the feasibility of a lucrative career," I meant that if she's truly passionate about the arts (she mentioned theatre, so that's what I assumed she was most interested in), and the only thing stopping her is "that its going to be tough living," then she could feasibly double major in CAS for a fallback. Sorry if that was unclear, Romantik.</p>
<p>iwannatopcollege: From what I hear, Tisch follows Stern for best academic stats at an NYU school, both schools being ahead of the NYU averages. Artistic capabilities do matter as well (around 50%, like Scrapnel said, but I'm pretty sure that's a very rough measurement), but both abilities are expected for a Tisch student.</p>
<p>Tischies had the highest suicide rate, right?</p>
<p>shirobot - okay just making sure things were clear =]</p>
<p>affi - haha it wouldnt surprise me. artistic types, ya know? (hey im goin to tisch so i can say what i want =P)</p>
<p>lol... actually i don't think its possible to jump off from an nyu building anymore. I say we go to columbia's library instead!</p>
<p>Nanotech and marketing are good here at NYU. Engineering is pretty bad - don't come here if you're seriously interested in that.</p>
<p>I don't have my heart set on anything. It's hard to think about how I will do in that area post college, but I would love to do nanotech and marketing.</p>
<p>I JUST took the SATs and the ACTs so I didn't get any results back yet.
I think these are correct
PSAT: 55 Verbal 56 Math 42 Writing
SAT 2: 510 Chemistry (planning to retake)
~88 average for Junior and Sophomore year.
~90+ average for Freshmen (that was a really easy year)
My best subjects (grade: 87+): Sciences [Advanced Chemistry, Conceptual Physics, Biochem 1, Biochem 2]</p>
<p>Most likely will be taking 2007:
Calculus (NYU semester course)
AP Calculus (School course)
AP Comparative Government or US History
Advanced Physics
Plays for Social Change
Yearbook</p>
<p>Top 15% in graduating class (out of about 120 students)
Well known for artistic skills, extra-curriculars, and impressive transcript.
Asian and female.
Honors High School
Passing grade is a 70.</p>
<p>In response to suicide rates in NYU, lol I didn't know that. I knew mit was like O_O but I haven't heard about many at NYU anymore. Columbia is also a college i'd want to go to. 2nd choice.</p>
<p>Does your transcript matter?</p>
<p>judging from your PSAT scores, if you were to take the SATs, your scores would be 550 Verbal, 560 Math, 420 Writing. </p>
<p>regardless of whether we think SATs really measure your intelligence, NYU, Columbia, and other schools will highly weigh them, and so i'd say try to improve in the test scores area.</p>
<p>yeah... i thought the SATs matter a lot esp. at nyu, with those projected scores nyu's gonna give u a hard time... or the aid will be very unattractive
regardless of the details in which we discuss suicides... nyu is absolutely worth the hardwork, and columbia would be even better. think about it.. these scores are worth however many years of schooling u've gotten....
give it everything. best of luck!
(i wish someone had said this to me in high school....)</p>
<p>well I've been taking SAT prep courses but the reason I'm not really reporting on those scores from the practices are that they go up and down. The highest I ever got in practice or psat was: verbal 620 math 560 writing 430. but i also "heard" that most colleges don't weight the writing as heavily.</p>
<p>Even if they don't weigh the writing portion of the SAT as heavily as the other two sections, they still do look at the score. Yeah, just improve your math/writing to 600+ and you'll be golden. : )</p>
<p>I wouldn't say golden. 600 is still low for NYU. And having a writing score BELOW 600 is realllllly gonna hurt you. Maybe they don't look at it as much, but be sure that they do look at it. And I know that SAT scores aren't necessarily reflective of real life capabilities, but if your writing score is that low, it's possible your essays aren't going to be very good. And NYU definitely pays attention to those. So keep that in mind, too.</p>
