<p>I was talking about from a different school. Does NYU look at second semester grades if you are applying for Spring Admission? Well, I guess better start working hard on my essays as well as my classes when I get back to school in the fall.</p>
<p>Getting into stern from another u is EXTREMELY hard. Go on the nyu admissions website to see what classes you HAVE to take in order to be seriously considered. Note that it includes financial accounting. Good luck.</p>

managerial accounting-this semester->so check</p>
<p>i'm not worried about the pre-requisites so much as the stats.</p>
<p>That's awesome. I think as long as you have over a 3.5 gpa and very strong essays you should be fine. Out of curiosity, where are you looking to work after college?</p>
<p>I really haven't decided, I might want to go into i-banking like everyone else, but I'm also thinking of doing M&A or some sort of other law. I eventually want to start my own business at some point, but I know I can't start off like that without the capital to back it up.</p>
<p>You can always try to find someone to give you a loan for a small business. That being said, good luck transferring. What school do you go to?</p>
<p>Case Western. In Cleveland. I am absolutely miserable.</p>
<p>What if your stats aren't enough to get into Stern and you instead major in Econ at CAS? I hear that both Econ majors and Stern students can land the same jobs, but are Econ majors at any significant disadvantage?</p>
<p>CAS is getting a lot more competitive, so make sure you have really good stats before applying. That being said, it is true that CAS econ majors and Stern kids can land the same jobs (in other words CAS students are not simply disregarded), but CAS kids need to apply themselves more. Go out and meet people in the field you want to enter, work hard and get excellent grades, and you'll be fine. That's what I did and I landed both a banking and consulting internship before my sophmore year.</p>
<p>Econ majors definitely do get into ibanking and other competitive fields, but its is more difficult for several reasons. </p>
<p>1) Alot of the on campus recruiting/ interviewnet listings are for stern students only. Most of the top internships after junior year (with 70-90% of people whom obtain these internships obtaining full time employment there) only actively recruit Sternies. This means you will need to apply through the internet (extremely low success rate) or network with a recruiter.</p>
<p>2) The curve in economics is rough, but you are being compared to other CAS students (with higher gpa's)...you can't go along blaming your GPA on the "stern curve" like many people in Stern do. </p>
<p>3) the aforementioned junior level internships depend on having some sort of decent prior internship, which is slightly more difficult without the network at stern. </p>
<p>but basically just to summarize...its by no means impossible. You will however have to rely more on networking than in Stern (which also relys on alot of networking) due to the lesser degree of active recruiting. The problem is compounded by the lack of networking capabilities compared to being in Stern: Stern has business frats, networking events, alumni networks, clubs, plus alot of the students have high level finance fathers that help their son's friends out (especially getting an internship freshmen/sophomore year that helps big time getting the golden ones as a rising senior), upper level classmen often hand the internships off to friends in the grade level below, etc.</p>
<p>Err, (1) is not really true. Generally, the business jobs will be limited to certain majors, but economics is usually one of the 'acceptable' majors. In addition, the top tier banks do have positions open to all majors. </p>
<p>Also, most of the clubs, presentations, and other activities are open to CAS students as well. The problem for CAS students is finding out about them, but that's pretty easily fixed (walk by some of the bulletin boards in the LC of the Stern building).</p>
<p>is stern economics and nyu economics separate? or are they the same thing?</p>
<p>The depts are combined, and the majors are almost identical (except Stern has slightly different reqs in order to fit all the business core classes in). It's mostly just a dept thing - if you're in Stern, you have to major in econ at Stern; if you're not, you have to major in econ at CAS. In terms of content, though, they're the same thing.</p>
<p>some of the classes are different. i spoke with someone fom nyu regarding that. the overall content of economics at stern is more business-focused.</p>

<p>This is completely false. I've had internships at both a boutique ibank and a hedge fund, neither of which would ever limit their recruiting to business majors. Investment banks and consulting firms generally DO NOT recruit by major/area of study, and if they do then (1) Econ. is almost always accepted, as many top schools do not even have business programs or (2) it's for a technical position where the only accepted majors are comp sci and IT.</p>
<p>Consulting firms hardly recruit business majors at all...where I worked, they did not even accept applications from Stern kids.</p>
<p>I was wondering if you felt it would be appropriate to mention a high interest for the stock market in my NYU essay. I have been investing since i was 16, and after just turning 18 a couple days ago, i can honestly say that i know a ton about stocks and the market and have made a nice buck as well =] </p>
<p>my SATs are a little low for Stern, my ECs are above average, and my letters of rec. should be good. I take the most rigorous schedule at my competitve highschool, all APs. Im in top 10%, white male from NJ.</p>
<p>Im planning on applying ED to NYU. </p>
<p>Math: 720 CR: 650 WRITING: 630
Planning on taking again the last round of 2008, i think in november, which would be too late for ED. </p>
<p>SATIIs: Take this october should expect high 700s in all.</p>
<p>So.. should i somehow mention my love for stocks in my essay? Also, how are my chances looking as of right now? Should i try to bump up the SATs and apply RD ?</p>
<p>november is not too late for ED</p>
<p>ED is Nov. 15...</p>
<p>You dont get ur SAT scores until a month after you take them.. its too late unless im missing something..</p>
<p>you get your scores in 3 weeks, as do schools, electronically.</p>
