<p>I don't see how you wouldn't get accepted by NYU for this school; IMO, it's one of the easier schools to gain admissions. Good luck!</p>

<p>I agree. the School of Social work is one of the easier schools to gain admission to. You would be a compettitive applicant in CAS as well. Make sure you want to remain in the School of Social work however because transferring out is virtually impossible.</p>

<p>I want to remain in the social sciences field and work with people, preferably with a psychological emphasis. Do you think that applying to the school of social work is a good idea? Or should i apply to CAS for the psychology department?</p>
