Sophomore Transfer to NYU CAS, Gallatin, or Stern

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I'm currently attending BU and I want to transfer to NYU for my sophomore year (Fall 2013). I really want to major in Business and maybe eventually Law at NYU, for example (Finance, Business Management, Marketing, A&M, Corporate, etc)</p>

<p>Since, I am applying for sophomore transfer, my high school transcript and ACT would still matter.</p>

<p>In high school, I was a B/B+ Average student.
My ACT was not as good as I wanted it to be... 27
I've also taken 5 APs</p>

<p>I'd have been in a lot of extracurriculars, volunteering and sports while in high school.</p>

<p>In college, I'm seriously going to work my butt off hoping for a 3.7+
---- I'm currently taking the pre-requisite that is needed to apply for Stern and some other classes that are unconventional, but helps with the business world/major.</p>

<p>I also am determined to do the same in college with clubs and such.</p>

<hr>

<p>The problem that I have right now is....</p>

<p>I'm not sure if I would be accepted to Stern even with all that.</p>

<p>I read the article by one person saying that it isn't as near-impossible to get into Stern as a transfer.</p>

<p>Do each program accept a different about of transfer students?</p>

<p>I want to apply to Gallatin since I am very intrigued by the individualized major and I can intertwine different majors that I want to study.</p>

<p>Stern, for it's business program.</p>

<p>CAS for Econ or History.</p>

<p>The thing is that I'm in a rut, I'm not sure which program I should choose to apply too..
NYU has an option of being placed in a different program that they think is more suited for you if you get denied a spot for your choice of college.</p>

<p>I'm torn apart on whether if I apply to Stern, I have a big chance of being declined a spot and I would not be able to attend NYU (unless they offer me in a different college) or apply to Gallatin/CAS and have a wee bit better chance of being accepted, but not being able to pursue my career in business.</p>

<p>So, I'm here to ask the fellow alummus of NYU, current students, and the people who have an idea of what would be the best option to pursue in this case.</p>

<p>P.S. I've heard that Gallatin allows their students to take 36 credits at Stern. I'm not sure if that would be a great big help with my interest in business or whatnot.</p>

<p>P.S.S. I am also thinking about applying to The New School - Parsons School of Design (Maybe Design and Business Management or Fashion Design) & maybe Fordham.</p>

<p>So, please give me your opinions. I'll take all the help I can get.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>First things first. Money. Are you paying full price now? Can you pay for NYU? It’s extremely expensive and is known for giving lousy aid.</p>

<p>You don’t need to go to business school to go into business. A few basic classes, like accounting and statistics, would be helpful for many people, but you might be able to take them without being in Stern. In fact, there’s no reason to take them in an expensive school. </p>

<p>If you’re in Gallatin, how many requirements will you need to pass? How do you feel about taking those classes?</p>

<p>If you’re in CAS or Gallatin, you can expect to take essay tests and write research papers. How strong is your English? (Hint: your post contains numerous spelling, punctuation, and grammatical problems.)</p>
