Yesterday I submitted my NYU ED application with an intended major of Biological engineering. But what I really want to apply is Stern school of business, Biological engineering is my second interested major. Should I make a change to that or because of the low acceptance rate of Stern, keep my primary major?
My stats is pretty strong for non-impacted major:
GPA: 3.45 UW, 3.75 W
ACT: 29; SAT 1420
SAT 2: Chem 740; Math 2 760; physics 700
AP: chemistry; literature; physics; biology; studio art; calculus AB; Chinese; Statistics
Activities: I have some leaderships but not very strong related to business; a lot of activities and volunteer work; currently have an internship at mathnasium; have 1 year of JV sport.
DO I STAND A CHANCE OF STERN? And does changing major affect my chance of being admitted? Thank you!
If you really want that business major, you shoukd apply to Stern. There is no guarantee whatsoever that you woukd be able to transfer into Stern from a different division of NYU.
Yeah, but does a request of changing major stand against me? Although I have mentioned in my essay that I would like to be in business, I don’t have amazing extra curriculums aligned with business…
The only people who can answer that question, are the people in the admissions offices of those divisions at NYU.
You ned to decide what it is you want to study. Or is the truth that you don’t care much provided it is at NYU? If that is your situation, you need to ask yourself why it is so important that youhave a chance to end up at NYU, rather than at any of the other plces where you could study either or both of your potential majors.
