Should I go for NYU Stern???

<p>This thread should probably go in What Are My Chances, but I posted a similar thread there about a month ago and didnt get many responses. So any additional help would really be appreciated.</p>

<p>One of the schools I'm applying to is NYU, but since I want to major in something business related (to hopefully go into IBanking) applying to Stern would make more sense than applying to the CAS. But I don't know how selective Stern is, just that it is more selective than the CAS... So I'm not sure if I should just stick to the CAS (which I think I have an OK shot at) or risk applying to Stern.</p>

<p>So, do you think Stern is too much of a reach? Should I just apply to the CAS?</p>

<p>i thought NYU stern was nothing like Ivies and that caliber.</p>

<p>It's not as hard to get into as harvard and princeton but it's probably the same as the rest of the ivies</p>

<p>hmm... OK, thanks for your input</p>
