<p>I'm in CAS at NYU which was a mistake, mostly because I've always wanted to do Stern but due to my brothers talking (he was a stern finance grad), I applied to CAS. I don't want do to any of the majors here now, and although I'm undecided, I know I won't want to do any of these majors later. I feel like staying here would be a waste of time, so I want to transfer and do Marketing at Stern. Heres where my problems begin:</p>
<p>Similar to everyones doubts about NYU, I hate the lack of community. I visited my friend at Babson and I feel like I meet so many more better people there than here. I'm an outgoing, likable person and it's just so much harder here meeting people here...no one knows you for you because the relationships are fleeting. </p>
<p>Some of the comments here sum up my feelings: NYU</a> Local ? Maddi Gilje Considers Transferring From NYU</p>
<p>A lot comment on studying abroad and say how they met most of their core friends there...but it shouldn't be that you have to wait until your junior year to be able to have that. What I don't get is that, why isn't it made more apparent that so many people don't like it, because almost EVERYONE I've talked to had these same feelings. Most of the time I feel like people just pretend to like it cause you feel lame saying you don't. I've met so many 'dumb' kids. The guys suck and I'm not going to lower my standards. And the number of *****y people i met here outweigh the good by a lot. </p>
<p>Okay, so I seem like I absolutely hate it, but I have met some great people and I do love and know the city. And I'm sure it gets better, as others have said, but a lot will stay the same. You make your clique and thats that because it's so big and because its staying in touch with people. I feel like I would be having a better time if I lucked out on my rooming situation, where I didn't. </p>
<p>Anyways, for Fall 2011, I'm going to apply to Stern for marketing along with other schools. Ive talked to my Sternie friends and they seem to enjoy the benefits along with other things and if I get in...I feel like I could stick out my stay here.
Here's where the other problem is, it's going to be extremely hard to transfer into that school. I don't think I'm going to have a 3.8 GPA either considering my midterm grades of A, A- and B so far. It sucks cause it wouldve been so much easier for me just applying to Stern in the beginning as ED, rather than have to transfer. I'd also have a better gauge of if I'd actually want to stay here or not.</p>
<p>So other than Stern, I want to look at other schools, preferably in Boston maybe BC or Babson. I'm into start-ups/marketing/entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship at Babson would be cool (when I visited, the amount of success youre surrounded by motivates you) but my brother doesn't believe Babson's legit enough, prestige and ranking-wise ("it may be #1 in etp but thats only bc no respected school does etp"). Any suggestions for similar tier b-schools such as BC ? My SAT's were a 1990 :/ but I had great extra-currics.</p>
