<p>So how do we know if we are in or not? The first time i called stern they said if you got a Sunday at the Square invitation you were in, but the second time i called they said if you hadnt received additional confirmation after that then you werent in? Does anyone know what is going on here?</p>
<p>A Sunday at the Square invitation means that you are accepted into the Stern Scholars program. There is no other confirmation.</p>
<p>Actually, I got a phone call from NYU as the official confirmation.</p>
<p>I forgot about the phone call, but it wasn't made by admissions; it was done by current Stern scholars to answer any questions/concerns you may have.</p>
<p>It is an official confirmation nonetheless unless someone prank called your house.</p>
<p>well i got the call from a current stern scholars student yesterday, but he wasnt sure whether i was a scholar or not.</p>
<p>If they were calling you, you've definitely been accepted as a Scholar (I was one of the kids calling you admitted scholars yesterday). I don't know why he would think you weren't o.o</p>
<p>thanks for the response, b/c these mixed signals were not going so well in my college decision for NYU. At UT BHP all the questions I had were recorded and then within the day I received a phone call back with a reponse, whereas at NYU I still havent heard from them about anything I asked them about. This is my biggest source of info at this point in time.</p>
<p>Are you trying to call NYU admissions? I would honestly just call Stern people, not general NYU. If you have questions about Scholars, you ought to talk to one of the people here: <a href="http://w4.stern.nyu.edu/uc/currentstudents/studentlife.cfm?doc_id=5035%5B/url%5D">http://w4.stern.nyu.edu/uc/currentstudents/studentlife.cfm?doc_id=5035</a></p>
<p>If you have any general questions, I can try to help, but if it's anything about curriculum.... things have been changing, so my info's probably outdated.</p>
<p>do you think stern scholar's has presented you with a significant advantage over stern students as far as internships, recruitment, and class difficulty go? Also, are seperate classes that stern scholars take or are the differences very small between regular stern and scholars?</p>
<p>Thanks for the help youkosiren</p>
<p>Scholars don't take any different classes. It's really much more like a club at Stern where you get to go on international trips and do a little volunteering every semester. I know that some scholar classes have made resume books and mailed them out, but each scholar class is run by scholars, so it depends on whether your class is ambitious enough. I would say that it certainly helps to have Stern Scholars on your resume, but I wouldn't say that you'd be horribly inconvenienced if you didn't. In the end, it basically says you have above a 3.5 gpa and Stern thinks you're one of the top students in the class.</p>
<p>also what do you think about the stern curve and its eventual impact on future jobs and graduate studies. Basically the difference between NYU and UT BHP is the GPA i will leave with. They are recruited by basically the same list of companies, but my biggest worry now is the GPA aspect and the stiff competition I will face at NYU</p>
<p>I don't think the Stern curve's been a major factor in most of my classes. I mean, it's not a school-wide curve - individual professors can choose to use it, but there's no standardized distribution. In any case, what you really mean by the Stern curve is probably the finance dept's published grading guidelines - but that's pretty skewed towards higher grades anyway, and professors have leeway to modify it if they want. Plus, I've found that classes usually break down fairly naturally along the curve.</p>
<p>When you get the Sunday invite, that means you're in because they only send it to accepted students. But technically, the "official envelope" is your acceptance.</p>
