<p>I'm a soon to be senior in a competitive public high school in california and it's my dream to go to NYU but I'm simply concerned about admissions for the different schools, since each of my three main interests/potential majors each has a different school (Education, Economics and Film for Steinhardt, Stern and Tisch respectively).</p>
<p>I'm thinking of applying to Steinhardt because Education is the main thing I'd wanna major in and easiest to get into from what I've heard and then cross-majoring/minoring in one of the other fields. Before you get mad at me I'm not just doing that cause I wanna take the easy way in, I actually am geninuiely interested in education and have worked with kids basically my whole life proven by over 300+ community service hours from various organizations that I've worked for, lead and some started all on my own. My only concern is that while I've had boatloads of on-the-job type of experience in the real world with education and helping out kids, my school doesn't offer any courses in child development or psychology, two courses I know are required for many education majors. I tried to take a class in them at a cc this summer but didn't get either and instead ended up taking MicroEconomics, which sparked a newfound interest in that.</p>
<p>At least with Economics or Film, even though I haven't had as much involvement outside of school (Though not nothing) I can say I've taken Media Arts 1/2-3/4 at my school, Micro in the summer and am signed up for AP macro and AP Stats next year.</p>
<p>What do you guys think? And thanks in advance :)</p>
