<p>Actually, I have applied for LSP in my CommonApp,(SAT R 700, W 730, M 800), but right now I am worrying about whether I can transfer to Stern after two-year or one-year study?? If I can't, will LSP prepare me well, meaning finish all the prerequisites, for the economics major in CAS??</p>
<p>It’s impossible to transfer from LSP to Stern. They just won’t let you do it. </p>
<p>It should definitely prepare you for CAS though.</p>
<p>Edit - I was just checking out another topic: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/new-york-university/1323947-truth-about-internal-transfer-stern-cas.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/new-york-university/1323947-truth-about-internal-transfer-stern-cas.html</a> and someone claimed to have met someone who transferred from LSP to Stern… I’ve asked around and many people, including the NYU website, has said that you can’t transfer to Stern. I’m not sure if NYU is just discouraging people to do this or what (because LSP is much easier to get into than Stern, which could prove to be an easy way to Stern if people find out about this method).</p>
<p>– I dont think that transferring from LSP to CAS for an econ major is that easy. LSP course allow only one elective for each semester of Freshman year, and econ majors have math pre-reqs for many courses. </p>
<p>Here is requirement for NYU econ major in CAS. I dont see how anyone can start in LSP, and then major in ECON and graduate in 4 years, if at all. Anyone without excellent math ability, and placing well is going to struggle. </p>
<p>Program of Study | Economics | NYU</p>
<p><a href=“Department of Economics”>Department of Economics;
<hr>
<p>At least 42 points (10 courses) are to be taken in the Department of Economics: six core courses (ECON-UA 1, ECON-UA 2, ECON-UA 10, ECON-UA 12, the 6-point ECON-UA 18, and ECON-UA 238), plus four electives. Of these four electives, at least two must be numbered ECON-UA 300-399.</p>
<p>A typical sequence of courses consists of the following: by sophomore year, ECON-UA 1, ECON-UA 2, and ECON-UA 18; by junior year, ECON-UA 10, ECON-UA 12, and ECON-UA 238; by senior year, four electives. Note: Statistics is to be taken as early as possible. Senior-level courses (300 level and above) presume a knowledge of statistics.</p>
<p>Students are strongly advised to pay close attention to the prerequisites for each course, as they will be strictly enforced. Students should be aware that Algebra and Calculus (MATH-UA 9), or its equivalent, is required for the principles classes (ECON-UA 1 and ECON-UA 2). Students intending to major in economics must have a strong working knowledge of algebra and introductory calculus. Furthermore, a course in calculus (MATH-UA 121) is required for the intermediate courses and statistics (ECON-UA 10, ECON-UA 12, and ECON-UA 18). A grade of C or better is needed to pass both the economics and the mathematics requirements. Both Economic Principles I (ECON-UA 1) and Economic Principles II (ECON-UA 2) are required for intermediate macroeconomics (ECON-UA 12).</p>

<p>In addition, all CAS grads have to meet normal CAS requirements including foreign language</p>

I think it is possible to go from LSP to CAS for ECON because you ghet two electives sophomore year plus, having some AP credit may help fill requirements for this major… </p>
<p>I would email seomeon from the department to double check though. I can’t be certain…</p>
<p>Cricket, it is theoretically possible, I just dont think it is so easy. Yes AP credit would help. The problem is that econ, especially at NYU is very math based, and very sequential. You cant take B before A, you need D and B for C, etc.</p>

I understand :)</p>
