<p>I am worried about my grades, but would ED help? Am I allowed to apply to Stern as a Finance major and CAS and an economics/math major so I can double major in finance at Stern and economics/math at CAS? So if they reject me at Stern can they still place me in CAS for the economics/math major I will also apply for?</p>

<p>you can only apply to one nyu school</p>

<p>stern is the hardest school to get in
and you're on their average line kinda
so your SATs would really matter a lot</p>

4

<p>you can only apply to one school. however if you're looking to double major then i suggest you apply to stern. it's more competitive but if you are accepted there i am fairly certain you can pick up a double major in CAS. if you were to be accepted to CAS you wouldn't be able to pick up a double major in Stern. </p>

<p>I don't think your SATs are average. given that those are your PSATs, i'm sure your SATs will be a lot better.</p>

<p>good luck.</p>

<p>you shouldnt rely on hypotheticals. anything can happen and nothing is guaranteed.</p>
