<p>No offense but people should really do their research b4 commenting. </p>
<p>Stern DOES have an econ major. Its not a traditional econ major ( u do business courses are ur core instead of econ theory ones) though</p>
<p>yeah stern’s econ focuses much more on the business side of economics and policy while the cas version is more theoretical </p>
<p>but my initial question was whether or not stern econ would look better than cas econ or cas international relations in getting i-banking jobs. im considering an internal transfer with an approximate 3.7 GPA from CAS to Stern. i have several club positions as well. although my SATs are a bit on the low side (high 1300s/low 2100s), do i have a shot? from what i’ve heard, SATs cease to matter after freshman year. it’s moreso the academic record</p>
<p>i appreciate hsseniorlooking’s comments but would also like to hear from others!</p>
<p>i dont think there would be much difference btw stern and cas econ. Though the “Stern tag” could help you. If you want an i-banking job why not major in Finance (like the other 499 sternies in ur class) ?</p>
<p>well, for one, I want to be different. the majority of students in Stern does finance. </p>
<p>but at the same time, I’m interested in econ and business. I know I could just stay in CAS with Econ and a Business Studies Minor. But, I want to learn more about Economics in relation to Business. The Stern Econ courses address that. Also, you’re right. The “Stern” name and all of its associated perks and privileges don’t hurt too :]</p>
<p>so I am hoping that with my GPA of 3.7 I could hopefully internally transfer.</p>
<p>i don’t think it is possible now with a 3.7 GPA.</p>
<p>Out of all the majors at Stern which would require the LEAST amount of math.</p>
<p>Which one do most of the applicants apply to?</p>
<p>And which one is the easiest to get into?</p>
<p>going to stern and only majoring in econ is a waste for a few reasons. first, for an econ major in stern you only need to take 4 econ classes. second, majoring in only econ will not make you stick out. there are plenty of kids who major in both finance and econ simply because its really easy to do since both majors only require 4 additional classes on top of the business core. also, it is known that econ classes in cas are much easier than econ classes in stern (for the most part, there are a few exceptions). being in stern will probably give you the edge just because you can also choose to take stern electives, in partciular finance and accounting electives which are crucial to ibanking. also, it will be much easier to to hear about networking events if you are in stern. i honestly dont think majoring in econ in cas will put you at an advantage, if anything it will be a disadvantage.</p>
<p>Do you know if it is hard to get jobs at other locations besides Wall Street as a NYU Stern graduate? I would like to work in California or Hong Kong when I graduate but was wondering if Stern has the same name value in other places.</p>
<p>stern is recognized in hong kong banks and large firms.</p>
<p>There are a lot of people in Hong Kong. Tons.</p>
<p>West coast, not as much, unless they get an MBA elsewhere. The name isn’t bad, but we have no network there.</p>
<p>Stern econ is markedly better. More quant, better analysis, and better name than CAS. If you’re going for banking though, I don’t understand why you wouldn’t do finance. Recruiters are familiar with NYU, and understand that doing econ alone is a bit easy.</p>
<p>Unless you had pretty solid economic research papers or could demonstrate extreme high level classes, in which case finance would be easier.</p>
<p>wow. just found this thread and at moments it scared the **** out of me. but very useful stuff…just a general question for anyone out there- any marketing majors with a double in steinhardt? id imagine the marketing at stern and media/culture/communications dept kind of go hand in hand. </p>
<p>also, what sorts of employment opportunities are open to marketing majors? im deciding btwn tisch (film/tv production) and stern, leaning towards the latter-- ideally id have a future career in advertising/ media, and was wondering how stern kids fare in that industry because its a different beast altogether</p>
<p>How much harder is it to get in Stern than CAS?</p>
<p>Can I apply for stern as first choice, and, list CAS as a second choice in case i get rejected by stern?</p>
<p>I’m just estimating but let’s say the CAS admissions rate it about 23%, and the Stern rate is like about 14%.</p>
<p>soooo I’m in a slight dilemma here.</p>
<p>Just got accepted as a Spring transfer into CAS Econ.<br>
However, I’m on track to get a 4.0 this semester at Penn State.
I’m thinking I have a much better shot at Stern now (cumulative GPA ~ 3.85, major gpa 4.00)</p>
<p>Ive heard Stern RARELY (if ever) accepts internal transfers from CAS.
But I don’t want to stay at Penn State another semester.</p>
<p>What are my options.</p>
<p>@crazi4uni no you can’t apply to 2 schools</p>
<p>Okay, I’m bored, so I’m going to answer some questions…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Um, well, they spent a couple million dollars to renovate (secret reason, because Wharton and the others did it) Tisch Hall, which is the main Stern undergraduate building. The classrooms and lounge areas look pretty good, but the glass stairs (read: architectural mistake) have already cracked, so no one is allowed to walk between the ground floor and UC (first basement level) at the moment using those stairs. Not that I want to… the stairs are supposedly opaque, but if you’re female and wearing a skirt, walking up and down those stairs is not recommended.</p>
<p>We also have some fancy technology like flat-screen TV bulletin boards that are also in our group meeting rooms (last I remember, at least)… of course, the cords for those are always disappearing. Oh, and we have free printing.</p>
<p>In the end, the rest of NYU has it worse, though, for the most part, so I shouldn’t complain.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, it’s not very rigorous. Or at all. IMO, it’s kind of a BS major, but that could change after this coming semester, when I take my higher level major courses… </p>
<p>There are marketing internships posted on the school’s career site, but you’ll find that Stern really does pay a lot more attention to finance majors (especially with On-Campus Recruiting). However, while there are fewer marketing positions advertised, you are also not competing with as many people for them, most likely. Again, I should really update this after I go through OCR…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You don’t apply to majors. And I wouldn’t go to Stern if you’re afraid of math, because even majoring in marketing (probably the least math-oriented major) requires you to take a marketing research course in addition to the overall stats/econ/finance/accounting/etc. requirements.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There’s a track called EMT that’s exactly what you’re talking about. Some Stern propaganda (hehe): <a href=“http://w4.stern.nyu.edu/emplibrary/Sell_Sheet_EMT_April_05.pdf[/url]”>http://w4.stern.nyu.edu/emplibrary/Sell_Sheet_EMT_April_05.pdf</a></p>

<p>I think it’s possible to get a job in any marketing field, technically, although no idea about chances in those fields. Pretty sure we have a boost with advertising/media, though, since we are in NYC. However, off-topic slightly, I do hear McKinsey doesn’t like Stern or something, so if you’re hoping to go into that area…</p>
<p>when do stern applicants receive their admissions decisions?</p>
<p>Good afternoon.
I am a senior year student from Argentina, and I am writing because I would like to know what are the basic things that NYU Stern finds attractive from applying students. What I read from the web pages was that they are really interested in community service and high gpa´s. Is there anything else I should take into account when choosing extra curricular activities this last year? Thank you</p>
<p>For community service, I only had like 44 hours. That’s kind of mediocre.
I think they put more emphasis on leadership than community service, as long as you have some.</p>
<p>How large are average undergraduate classes? How personal is the student-prof interaction?</p>
