<p>Hey! 
I was just accepted to Stern, majoring in Business. I currently live in France and am going through the OIB system (Option International Baccalaur</p>
<p>Hello! I applied regular decision to the Stern School of Business. On the NYU supplement, I listed my major of choice as Business and Political Economy. If I do not get into the Business and Political Economy Program, can I still get into the Stern School of Business? Thanks!</p>
<p>I applied to NYU Stern RD. Hopefully, I can get in with the HEOP program. But I have not been called for an interview yet. :</p>
<p>Do you know if they are still conducting interviews???</p>
<p>Hi everyone! Iām so sorry I havenāt been answering. These past few weeks have been super busy. </p>

I donāt know much about internal transfers except that theyāre extremely difficult. Your GPA looks good, but it really depends on how many people are applying this year. They only take a handful of students. Best of luck!</p>
<p>@2013ag
Have you taken any AP classes prior to junior year? Are you taking any AP classes currently? If youāre only planning on taking 2-3 in your entire high school career I have to say thatās very low. I would also recommend retaking the SAT if possible. Your score is on the lower end of accepted students. Let me know more information later on. </p>
<p>@moviepyro
haha thatās a great question. Although Iām a commuter, I have eaten in every dining hall on campus at one time or another. Hayden and Palladium are the best. Kimmel is alright. Downstein and Upstein arenāt that great from what Iāve seen. </p>

Ypur ecās look great, they donāt need any work. However, your ACT score does. Post your new score later, and if itās pretty much the same I would suggest taking it over. A 30 isnāt very high. Your GPA looks really good, but your AP classes are a little low. Let me know how you do on AP Lang&Comp and APUSH. Good luck!</p>

Thatās great, congratulations! A typical fall semester schedule will look like this:
Microeconomics OR Statistics (whichever you donāt take in the fall you will take in the spring)
Writing the Essay
Calculus I (or a higher level math, whichever you choose)
Cohort Leadership Project (mandatory for all Stern freshmen)
Texts and Ideas OR Cultures and Context (whichever you donāt take in the fall you will take in the spring)
In total, this will add up to 16 credits. If you want to take anymore classes, you will have to pay extra as this will exceed the credit limit (which is 16-18). However, this is only a sample schedule. You donāt have to take calculus in the fall (but you will have to take it at some point). You also donāt have to take microeconomics or statistics in the fall (again, if you choose not to, you will have to take BOTH in the spring semester)
Typically students can expect to spend about 16 hours in classes per week. However, you ultimately get to decide what time you take each class, so itās impossible to say when your day will start/end. Message me for more details. </p>
<p>@NYUSternhopeful7
Yes. You will be considered for admission into both programs. Best of luck!</p>

Stern does not do interviews. They never have. Donāt expect any call from them. The only thing you will receive is a letter in the mail with either an acceptance or a rejection.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually, this year Stern will be doing acceptance calls. Theyāve been soliciting alums for the āTorchbearerā program. Maybe some of you guys will be getting a call from me :P</p>
<p>@CollectivSynergy</p>
<p>Thanks for the correction, I wasnāt aware that Stern was doing something new this year.</p>
<p>Yeah, Stern seems to be continuing its effort to cast off its (deserved) reputation for being the cold, impersonal school. Iām guessing the smaller schools at NYU will be following suit sooner or later, if they havenāt already.</p>
<p>Hi! I am a junior and considering business school for college. Specifically, Iām thinking about NYU Stern. I was wondering what are some good extracurricular to pursue this summer. Iām thinking about interning for a day trader. Any other ideas?</p>
<p>@nyustern13</p>
<p>Interning for a day trader would be fantastic if you can get it (good luck!). Otherwise Iād just stick to volunteer opportunities and community service. The more the better!</p>
<p>Hi Jen! I know youāre from Stern but do you happen to know of any friends who studied something in the sciences and if itās possible to get a GPA of 3.8?</p>
<p>@filmophile</p>
<p>I do know quite a few people from CAS but none I know of who got a 3.8. Sorry!</p>
<p>Hi Jenā¦My dream school is currently NYU Stern and I know that it takes a lot of time and work to get into this school but could you please take a look at my chances?</p>

<p>@jen72197
I have been told that colleges look more for a personality in college applications that merely the stats. Is this true? If so, then what would you say is the personality that Stern looks for?</p>
<p>Which courses did you take during your freshman year? I am an incoming freshman, and I want to do an internal transfer from CAS to Stern. Which courses do you recommend?</p>
<p>So everyone is saying that Stern offers great opportunities in terms of finding intern and jobs. I wonder how does stern do it?</p>
<p>@s24qs24q
Your intended major doesnāt affect your chances for admission. Your math scores do seem to be a little weak but I think you can make up for that with everything else. Have you taken any other AP classes? Ecs look great, keep it up! Iād say your chances are ok. Best of luck!</p>
<p>@bwein23
Iād have to say that Stern looks at grades more than anything else, so keep those strong. Liberal arts colleges/programs look less at grades. However, this doesnāt mean that you shouldnāt worry about the essays. Those need to be strong as well. Good luck!</p>
<p>@alisha4NY
In the fall I took microeconomics, calc I, cultures and contexts, writing the essay, and cohort leadership. In the spring I took financial accounting, statistics, texts and ideas, and business and its publics. I would really recommend getting requirements out of the way as soon as possible so you can take more difficult classes later on. PM for more info. </p>
<p>@appletoapple
Iāll let you know when I graduate haha.</p>
<p>So how much do the Sternies look down on CAS people that go to the Stern clubs/events/etc.? I hear they are quite arrogant. Obviously not all of them, but an unfortunate amount.</p>
<p>Iāve never seen that, but itās possible. I think itās more that CASers assume Sternies will be arrogant so itās easy to misconstrue or read things as such. That plus Sternies socialize more with each other outside of those events, and most are sort of awkward (a generalization, but true). So they may not be the most talkative/approachable people to strangers, at least at first.</p>
<p>Hey!! First of all thank you so much for doing this thread!! Its heckka helpful!! Aight so like whenever I ask people whether Stern or like some other college like Cornell is good for IB, most of them say: āStern is better because its in the city and you can do internships during the semester.ā So is this really true and also like how helpful do you think being in NYC is???</p>
<p>Alright so I visited your fourm a few months ago and since then I have come up with a few questions. One: how is your dorming situation at NYU because I have heard mixed reviews about dorms and honestly I have read some pretty petrifying stories as well. Two: do you have any suggestions or hints with helping someone who really wants to get into NYU as far a the admission process goes? Three: (you do not have to answer this question if it is too personal) in NYU offering you any financial aid such as scholarship and if so how much/ what type of scholarship is it? Four: Is there any advice you can offer to someone who needs to gets some scholarship money from NYU? Five: Do you feel like you are revieving an education that is worth $56,000 a year? Six: Is there any advice you feel is necessary that I should know?
Thank you so much!
