@CaMom13 - Thanks for the reply, but my first choice campus was NYU Shanghai. I was just wondering if I got in for the major I applied for since there is no mention in the acceptance letter.
Hi, I was accepted into the LS Program despite applying to CAS. Is LS looked down on or is it for less qualifies students? My GPA was 4.72 W 4.00 UW, and my composite ACT score was 32.
Here is info for CAS honors, it is top 10% of entering freshmen. If you are not admitted as a presidential scholar, you can apply later to join the program, if you demonstrate “ outstanding academic achievement and a commitment to leadership and service”

@gorilla1000 - well that has me puzzled because Stern is in NYC? So possibly there are new programs in Shanghai that I’m not familiar with. Sorry I can’t help!
Your prior post said you applied for Stern - Stern is at the NY campus. Do you mean you applied for a business major at Shanghai?

@SJ2727 - My primary school/college/program of interest I applied for is the Stern School of Business. Then, I chose a primary area of study and a Shanghai Academic Interest. So I’m pretty sure I applied for Stern.
Accepted; SAT: 1560; GPA: 4.0 UW; 4.52 W; 3 Subject SATs: 800; 12 APs: 5 + extracurriculars, research and publication.
DS accepted into Liberal Studies. Can someone explain this program please.
Also as a side note, the only Financial Aid was the Unsubsidized Loan. We didn’t expect anything but seeing the number in living color was… ouch…
Ok but Stern is the business school on the NYC campus, so then Shanghai was not your first choice campus, do you see what I’m saying? So it looks like as @CaMom13 said, you were denied at Stern and offered a place at NYUSH as an alternative. I don’t think Shanghai admits by major so you decide what you want to do there.
