<p>@cv1214 Finance & Marketing double major w/ a EMT concentration is definitely possible in 4 years because it’s essentially just 2 majors but with more concentrated classes for marketing.</p>
<p>@shuffleace It’s been a while since I took the class, but I’ll try my best to remember. I got an A- in the class and took it with Savov. The class was difficult for me to stay awake during, which is why I had to do a lot of the reading on my own, but the material is easy enough. </p>
<p>How boring the class was may have been why the curve wasn’t too difficult - people would just not pay attention in class and by actually reading the textbook and doing the problems, I was able to do well. This would take quite a bit of time each week because I would read the entire chapters, but you could probably get away with focusing more on the number heavy chapters and just reading the slides more in depth. I don’t think you can just “review” the questions though, you have to actually do them, and a lot of them to get the hang of the twists in the problems. I think the reason why I didn’t get an A is because the final was a lot more cumulative than I thought and it required me to remember some formulas that I had already forgotten by the time it was the final (so if I could do this again, I’d make sure to write down all the formulas from the 1st half of class on my cheat sheet). And I’d participate more in class (there was 5% participation and Savov wasn’t really good at encouraging people in class to talk. People sometimes got around this by sending him news articles about stuff related to class).</p>
<p>None of the prereq classes seemed to really apply to this class, so no need to remember them in detail. I never really heard anything particularly bad or good about the other professors, so no recommendations in that field.</p>
<p>@hello3 I don’t know much about the LSP to Stern transfer process and have actually never met any LSP to Stern transfers who were juniors. That being said, I did know 2 people who external transferred to Stern in their junior year (Boston College & Indiana University I think), so I think it’s still possible as long as your qualifications are good. </p>
<p>If you’re not able to transfer to Stern, CAS has its benefits as well, especially if employers are looking for people who think more “out of the box”. Many consulting firms chose candidates from CAS that were usually Econ majors. I would recommend double majoring in Econ and Math if you want to enter a more stats heavy field, or if you want to enter something based more on soft skills like consulting, doing a writing/analytical skills major like English would be beneficial, as long as you’re able to explain to the interviewer why you chose that major and why you’re passionate about it.</p>
<p>What are the job prospects for graduates of NYU Stern? (They don’t release job datas)
Do most people end up at Big Four?
What about more prestigious firms like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs?
Do VCs and PEs (Apollo) recruit?</p>
<p>Hi there! I’m also interested in applying to Stern this coming year. I’m also from Canada Toronto. Like what jackNYU2018 mentioned before, some of our high schools are extremely hard on the curriculum and giving out good grades. (there are teachers who always gives marks around the mid-80s, which is very upsetting.) </p>
<p>Does Stern take GPA into account really heavily? Because I know most universities in the States consider your overall application which includes the essays, SAT, GPA, ECs, and so on. My GPA is not good, I think it’s around 3.6 ish, but I have a excellent SAT score, great ECs and leadership, will try to polish my essays as well. Since my GPA aren’t good enough, I’d kill my grades in the beginning of my senior year and see where it’lll take me. Do you think I’ll have a chance? Because Stern is one of my two top choices, do you have any recommendations? Does Stern look GPA more than SAT or vice versa?</p>
<p>Sorry for rambling on so much and bombarding you with all my questions! Just a worried applicant 
Thank you!</p>
