<p>@aswimmer525 Are you sure? I don’t NYU has Poly & Stern Double Major. </p>
<p>Hey guys, I know tHis is for early decision 1 but I need help! I was sort of surprised that I was accepted into CAS, I only got a 1750 SAT. SAT II: Spanish 790, French 670, world history 600
My class rank was about 20%. And my gpa 3.96. Captain of the football team and a bunch of other ECs. Also first generation college, and ESL student. I have a big dilemma because I’m still waiting on 5 other schools ( Boston college, Notre Dame, Rice, ucla, uchicago) I was already accepted to Fordham and Rutgers. However I gotta let nyu know by march 11th which is before any of my other colleges reply. NYU won’t give me any financial aid bc I missed a stupid deadline for a non custodial parent form… My family is very poor and nyu is so expensive so what do you guys think, is it worth it? Should I wait for my other schools or just take NYU?!.!?</p>
<p>@bassinator Do not go to NYU if you cannot afford it. NYU is one of, if not the most expensive university in the country. You will graduate with a mountain of debt</p>
<p>Yes you can double major through other schools like Poly and Stern is a good choice since engineering and business go very well together.</p>
<p>A little late, but I figured I should post my info anyway</p>
