<p>do you think it is harder to get into Stern than the college or arts and sciences at NYU?</p>
<p>would i have a better chance of getting in and then applying to stern after fresh or soph year.</p>
<p>also wondering about the student body at nyu and the fact that it is in nyc and somewhat of a commuter school? coming from a relativly small town would life in nyc without knowing anybody be a real challange?</p>
<p>internally transferring to stern is extrememly rare so if you want stern.. go stern. you can always transfer out.</p>
<p>yea but what about transfering into stern? i</p>
<p>and its easier to get into the college vs. stern right?</p>
<p>If you can't get into Stern as a freshman applicant, your chances of getting an internal transfer from CAS are virtually nil.</p>
<p>really? is it that difficult to do the internal transfer?</p>
<p>so no one really answered my question--is it harder to get into stern vs. cas?</p>
<p>i just talked to the admissions office and the guy told me that basically all of there schools have the same admit percent, but wasn't sure how right that sounded.</p>
<p>it may be true they have generally the same admission rate, but if you look at the quality of the applicant pools and level of competition so to speak...it is indeed "harder" to get into Stern....if you compare GPA and SATs of admitted applicants...Stern is the harder school to get into....believe me...despite what the CAS die-hards say...</p>
<p>as opposed to a stern "die-hard"?</p>
<p>irregardless of which school is more difficult to gain admission to, apply to the one that is the better fit, the one that you are actually interested in getting into. while applicants to stern generally have higher statistics, the admissions precentage is still the same, since nyu doesn't release info for seperate schools. but know this: if you think your stats are too low for stern, consider your chances at cas to be slim as well, if non-existant. both schools are very difficult to get into.</p>
<p>well lindseygs....be that as it may, what i said wasnt from a "Stern die-hard" perspective, ask anyone who knows about NYU which school is harder to get into, which is more competitive, and generally more difficult academically and the answer always comes back...STERN....let me tell you.....of the 4 ppl.....ranked below me i might add, from my school who applied to CAS........ALL WERE ACCEPTED!!! With lower SATs/GPA/Rank than me....i'll guarantee that there is no way in hell that 4 people from the same school, or at least my school can be accepted to Stern...believe that...I was just stating the facts...check admission...and SAT stats</p>
<p>man, that was not the point of my post at all. chill out, now...</p>
<p>What lindseygs? Well.... do tell what you meant....
BTW everyone else, lindseygs and I had a exchange in a previous post where she acted like a petulant child...but anyway, no one can deny Stern as the more academically challenging</p>
<p>man
ban THIS guy, hes so friggin annoying</p>
<p>I thought lindseygs was a guy. lawl. Facebook plz kkthx</p>
<p>To answer, what I meant was...you're perspective is that of one who went through the process of applying to Stern. Obviously a student who went through the process of applying to CAS isn't going to have the same standards as far as pro's/con's, their passions, achievements, statistics (for example a cas student may excel in the reading sect. of the sat while a sternie excels in math, and cas may be looking more at lit. as opposed to stern looking at math). It's not fair to say which school is easier to get into if you have only applied to one. (Ex: I've applied to Tisch-- I know what they are looking for in an applicant and could therefore offer my advice on the subject of applying to TSOA, but I don't know at all how I would want to "sell" myself if I were to apply to CAS, Stern, Steinhardt, etc.) </p>
<p>What is fair is to follow nightboy's advice: which school is a better fit? Found out what areas you need to improve in to look better for whichever school you choose, and go from there.</p>
<p>If, though, you are looking for the easiest way to transfer, it seems that it is easiest to go from stern to cas instead of cas to stern.</p>
<p>supa: I have no idea what you mean....did you mean you wish this was like facebook (so that my gender-neutral name would not throw you off)? But, yea, I say "dude" and "man" a lot...so, I guess that would confuse you...haha.</p>
<p>corporatelaw637, stern is arguably the more difficult school to get accepted to, but as lindseygs and nightboy have stated, you would fare much better in the admissions process if you apply to the school that is a better "fit" for you. Passion in a subject tends to get carried in an application, and the adcoms can see that. Applying solely based on admissions percentages will almost definitely leave you sorely disappointed.</p>
<p>Now as to the rest of your questions: it's said that an internal transfer to stern (i.e. transferring from CAS to stern) is extremely difficult. You would have a better shot by applying for stern freshman admission than as a CAS transfer. NYU certainly sees lots of commuter students, but this should not detract from what could be a very valuable experience for you. I would encourage you to see "adapting to the city" as a motivating challenge. Duobeef has a very good point of view in the following thread:

<p>And lindsey, supa is just asking for your facebook. (I hope I wasn't thrown off by your "gender-neutral" name!)</p>
<p>eji2006, perhaps you should reconsider your post:</p>

<p>You cannot be so ignorant as to state that Stern is more challenging than the other schools of NYU in every academic facet. Certainly, Stern is a renowned business school, but you cannot dismiss the individual merits of schools like Steinhardt or Tisch. To each school, their own strengths.</p>
<p>No...I am female...haha.</p>
<p>What?! Fo rizzal? I guess I've lost touch with my feminine side. :) (I'm a guy, by the way)</p>
<p>Wait...you thought I was a guy? Hahahaha...</p>
<p>ok ill say first off, I am a Stern Scholar and therefore biased....but if you think CAS is a harder school, you are sadly mistaken. Stern is definitely the harder school to get into. I think most kids from Stern could get into CAS if they wanted but the opposite would be a lot more rare. As Wikipedia says</p>
<p>"Admission to Stern is very competitive. It is generally known that the admission rate at Stern is lower than almost every other NYU undergraduate school, with the notable exception of the Tisch School of the Arts."</p>
<p>I mean who are you all trying hoodwink here...even NYU thinks Stern students are superior. Take for example the fact a Stern student can basically take any class at CAS without having to get special permission or anything and can major/minor in anything offered by CAS, yet the opposite is not true. Also, as I am willing to say Stern students have a higher SAT score on verbal AND math compared to CAS students. There is a reason why Business Week said the only drawback from Stern is the amount of competition at the Stern School of Business. Stern kids are extremely driven and thats why the leadership and standarized test scores for Stern kids are ridiculous. If you dont believe be just go to the NYU thread with everyones stats and whether they got accepted or rejected. Stern students stand out from the crowd.</p>
<p>P.S. If you are Tisch you are not included in any of this because the fact that you have to make a portfolio and are graded on potential makes you impossible to compare with anyone.</p>
