school of continuing and professional studies..any info??

<p>hey, does anyone go to the school of continuing and professional studies for sports management or hotel hospitality and management? I was wondering if anyone had any details of the program and how competitive admission was. any help would be super!</p>

<p>i got accepted in the hotel hospitality (tisch center) program... it's not very competitive at all... i'm smart but not crazy smart and i still got a really big merit scholarship because i was probably top of the tisch center program.</p>

<p>did you have a lot of ap's and good sat scores? im a little nervous about my scores..i have loads of extra curriculars and leadership and a moderately strong course load but i am by no means at the top of my class.</p>

<p>hmm... i went to a really good competitive high school but my SATs were okay, 1410. i had a 3.6-3.7 gpa all throughout high school and i took AP BC Calc, AP Psych, Photography, AP Literature and an internship. </p>

<p>which program do u want to get into?</p>

<p>I thought the school of continuing and professional studies was for adults, like night school?</p>

<p>it is but it also has two undergrad programs</p>

<p>Oh I see. All I know about it is from the ads I see on the subway :p</p>

<p>i think im gonna apply for hotel hospitality and management. i dont know if i exactly want to work in tourism..more along the lines of major event planning so i need to find out if that is even feasible within one of these programs in the tisch center. im going to an info session specifically for the tisch center to talk with the profs and admissions people so hopefully i'll know if this is exactly the school i want..</p>

<p>Anybody in this program? Do you enjoy it? Why go to NYU if your interested in hospitality? The website doesn't give much of a feel for the program.</p>

<p>This is from NYU's admissions messageboard. This message is dated from November 2005:

Last year, about 150 students applied and about 80 were offered admission. Keep in mind that in addition to meeting the academic requirements for these majors, many of the students who were successful in gaining admission also had several internships in the hospitality fields.

The program has a very high acceptance rate in comparison to the other schools at NYU. I think many people associate the SCPS with only adult programs because of those subway ads (I thought that myself), and that's probably why so few people apply. Like Cornell's Hotel School (although not as difficult to get into), based on the above post, I guess NYU places less emphasis on scores and more on actual hands-on experience, although your stats should still be decent.</p>

<p>I applied as a Spring Transfer to the Sports Management program. If you want to find out more info, there is a better description of the two undergrad SCPS majors in their Bulletin, which you can sign up for and get snailmailed to you.</p>

Typically, there are about 50-60 new students each year who enroll in the Tisch Center Programs in Hotel and Tourism Management as well as in the Sports Management and Leisure Studies Program.

The program also has a very high yield. Although you'll be in SCPS, you do take courses with other NYU undergrads outside of your major. I have a friend in Steinhardt who has met some Sports Management majors in her speech class. I also remember reading that the reason why these two majors are in SCPS is because they integrate a lot of internship opportunities into the curriculum, which is something many adults would want in a school - to get jobs upon graduation or receipt of degree. SCPS students generally aren't looking to go to grad school immediately upon graduation, they want to enter the workforce in their field.</p>

<p>i want to transfer into the hospitality school for NYU.
does this mean i will always be around much older people 20- and up.
if i get in?</p>

<p>I want to transfer too. As long as you are majoring in Hotel or Sports Management you will be with other traditional undegrad students who are of typical age.</p>

<p>are u planning on transferring fall 07? or spring?</p>

<p>I'm a freshman in college and I applied for the 2007 Spring term but NYU contacted me and told me that freshmen aren't considered for that term, so my app was deferred to Fall 2007. =(</p>

<p>i see...well good luck!
if possible id lke to discuss this more with you.</p>

<p>is there a specific reason u want to transfer to NYC for this particular major...</p>

<p>Hey guys,
Just thought I would let you all know that I'm a current SCPS student. One thing to bear in mind: you have to take the admission exam, and if you have brains, you can ace it with flying colors. Rest assured that there is no automatic guarantee just because you aced it.. you based their decision on a certain criteria and depending on what program you're hoping to gain admission into. I'm a double major at SCPS - Info. Sys management and Hotel Management. It's a plus to have both for they both reinforce the versatility of your degree from NYU. </p>

<p>Everyone is equally intelligent at NYU. The main question is: how are you going to market yourself as an NYU student, how are you going to take advantage of the resources being offered? How are you going to network throughout your years here? Ask yourself these practical questions rather than asking yourself "is this the best school? can I get a good job afterwards?" obviously it is a superb school no matter in which division you're in, n getting a good job ultimately depends on well you reach out.... POINT MADE> n STOP WITH THE FUSSING WHETHER IT IS IN THE LOWER TIER OR NOT - IT"S STILL WITHIN NYU - IM SICK N TIRED OF ALL YOU PEOPLE CRITICIZING THE DEPARTMENTS>>> BUT F**** GLAD YOU"RE EVEN IN COLLEGE...</p>
