<p>I'm planning on applying to NYU but I'm worried my GPA is a little too low to get into CAS. I'm planning on majoring in English or Literature and I heard SCPS is a little easier to get in to. Which on should I apply to and are they really that different? Also, If I get accepted could I transfer to CAS?</p>

<p>I’ve always been under the impression that most of the students in the Paul McGhee Division of SCPS are adults who have already been out in the workforce and are returning for further education. That is not necessarily true however of the students of the Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism and Sports Management. Coming in as a 17/18 year old you would likely fit in better and be happier in CAS, though you should check out this link for the SCPS undergraduate programs to see what you think.</p>

<p>If what you want to study is English, you might as well apply directly to CAS. It won’t be any easier as an internal transfer. This “will it be easier to apply to NYU school X and then transfer to NYU school Y” needs to stop - the difference is usually negligible when you factor in the internal transfer, and you end up having a year taking classes you might not really want to take.</p>
<p>Agree with CASmom - although SCPS takes anyone over 19 as a full-time student (you are ineligible if you are under 19, at least that’s what it seems like to me), your classmates will probably overwhelmingly be working adults or returning students, with the exception of sports management and hospitality management. I don’t know how employers would see the degree, but I would expect an English major to be in CAS unless he/she had circumstances that precluded being a full-time student (working full-time, caring for a child/aged parents, etc.) I can’t comment on how different the classroom experience will be.</p>
