If Stern In, no pity to give up all UC. if in NYU CAS, 4 years *$60K yearly tuition difference, looks could not offset my family expection.
Thanks again for all your time and advices!
@Kevinyuan … I can’t answer your question 1 but I know ED has a better chance of getting into NYU Stern than RD. Your question 2 - I believe you can transfer. It will be very very hard to transfer into Stern. If your goal is getting into Stern I will suggest apply to Stern direct. I am also answering some other poster question and I am copy and paste my response below. I hope this helps. Good luck.
My son just got into NYU stern (class of 2023). Just want to provide some insight. He applied Stern RD got rejected and later he got accepted from waitlist. My spouse is a NYU stern graduate so I assume legacy status did not help him for his RD application.
His high school stat: went to a top public HS in NYC, GPA unweighted around 94%, SAT 1570 (E770, M800), SAT2 - math2 800, physics 760, USH 740, he took 10 APs (6 thru junior yr all 5s, 4 in senior yr - 2 4s 2 5s).
He just finished his first week of NYU stern orientation. He told me during orientation the president says class of 2023 Stern admission rate was 7% (year b4 was 8%). Total Stern accepted 600, 50 in the BPE program. My son is in the BPE program. Based on what he says most admitted students are from ED1 and ED2. Very few are from RD. So I assume Stern ED1 and ED2 chances are much much higher but make sure you are ok with the tuition.
Few tips on AP classes - He took AP Biology so he gets 8 credits from the elective. He took AP French so he gets waive the foreign language 4 credit. He took AP stat and he needs to take a NYU stat placement test to see if he can waive the fundamental Stat class 4 credit (just found out today he passed the placement test) and he only needs to take the regression stat class 2 credit. Unfortunately his AP Mico Econ and Macro Econ can not waive his NYU Econ classes. I believe Stern core classes can not be waived. So long story short. If you get accepted into Stern ED1/ED2 take a look at the Stern AP placement sheet and see which AP classes are most beneficial to you to take in May 2020. AP classes (score of 4 or 5) can save you big $.
I hope this message helps.
Good luck.
Transfering to Stern from CAS is very hard. Basically every Econ CAS student on campus hopes to transfer but there isn’t room for everyone. Applying ED is the way to go. I got into Stern ED last winter for the class of 23 so you can message me if you have more questions! Good luck!
Hey, I am applying to NYU Stern ED this year, any last-minute tips before I submit my application? What does Stern really like to see in essays, extracurriculars etc?
