<p>(Forgive the thread title, but I had to go for the slant rhyme.)</p>
<p>Anyway, I was at Sunday at the Square for Stern Scholars this morning and couldn't help noting the huge percentage of students of Asian (both far-eastern and Indian sub-continenters) descent who showed up--65% would be a grossly conservative estimate. Is this type of "diversity" characteristic of the school as a whole?</p>
<p>i was at stern scholars sunday at the square too and this is not an exaggeration. but i would think at most 100 students were at the breakfast and when i spoke to the dean she said that they admit something around 300 scholars in the hopes of having 80-100 accepting</p>
<p>I go to school in Connecticut--I'm at a boarding school that sends many to NYU, so I've been there a lot, and I got this sense about Stern too, which I was actually thinking of applying to, but didn't. I don't want to offend anyone here, but there may be some accuracy in the characterization of Stern as "little Shanghai"-an NYU friend of mine called it that. Btw I'm actually considering NYU-CAS, not Stern...so nothing against any school there, this is just an observation.</p>
<p>omg were u the guy that said the whole "asians for animals" thing at the students only panel? hahahaha</p>
<p>Stern is crazily Asian, as are most business schools. It's a running joke that all the Asians at NYU are either at Stern or Pre-med at CAS. It's also the most politically conservative out of all the NYU schools.. the student body at least, I can't really speak really for the professors.</p>
<p>btw.. asians are not usually conservatives...
in california, where most asians reside, the majority of asians is very liberal...anti-bush!</p>
<p>NYU has 18% Asian, which is a lot compared to some schools, but not a lot compared to others.</p>
<p>Yep, NYU's asian population at 18% is in line with most other top privates including the Ivy League. So in that sense, NYU is disproportianetly asian, but it doesnt' come close to some schools in CA. I would assume Stern and CAS science depts. are more asian than the rest of NYU, but where is this not the case?</p>

<p>Heh, thank God no. I thought his first comment was funny, but he should have shut up after that...</p>

<p>"is dioneo chris or james from xavier?"</p>
<p>Heh, damn right, doggy. It's James. I already know who you are, aint I clever?</p>
<p>In CAS, the bulk of the Asian population is found in a) premed programs and b) Science TAs.</p>
<p>Most of the TAs for labs or other science courses are Asian. And Asians that can't really speak English. </p>
<p>I'm not exaggerating. I go to CAS, I'm premed, and I'm Asian.</p>
<p>i speak engligh</p>
<p>i wonder how you could have ever figured it out? (yes this comment is laced with sarcasm)</p>
<p>asians can too speak english</p>
