<p>Hey guys, </p>
<p>I really want to apply for Stern and major in business becuase I want to be an investment banker when I grow up, but I think I'm applying to CAS ed2 and was wondering how hard it is to trasnfer from CAS (assuming I get accepted) to Stern. Thanks</p>

Sorry, I’m not trying to sound mean or judgmental… It was just really cute to see…

<p>Basically, it’s very difficult to go from CAS to Stern. </p>
<p>It’s widely known that it’s easier to get into NYU as a freshmen than as a transfer.</p>
<p>Internal transfers are very uncommon. The number of internal transfers to Stern have been in the single digits annually for the past several years, because they also have to evaluate external transfer applications as well, and they don’t want to swell that year’s class too much.</p>
<p>It’s nearly impossible. Trust me, I’m a current student and I have met with my advisor to discuss this same exact circumstance. He said that the first thing you have to do is take Calculus 1. That sounds reasonable enough, until you hear this next part: You actually have to be INVITED to take Calculus at NYU. Here’s how: Your AP test score for math must be a 4 or better. Or, your math score on the SAT must be over 700. If you don’t meet either of those requirements, then you must schedule a date to take a math placement test from NYU. If you don’t do well on this test, then you have to take Pre-Calculus before you can be “invited” into Calc 1. This is all a bit ridiculous just to take a Calculus course (which is the most failed course at NYU, anyway), if you ask me. So after you go through this nonsense, and get some Econ classes in from CAS, THEN you may apply to Stern. However, your chances are still extremely slim to none (even with a 3.8 GPA or higher), because there are so many others who are in the same situation as you. In fact, Stern won’t even take the fact that you’re an internal transfer into consideration (the exact words from my advisor). Good luck.</p>
<p>Fairy011- While I agree with most of what you said, I think that whole part about being invited to Calc being ridiculous is not something to complain about. If someone can’t score a 700 or higher on the math section of the SATs, I think it’s a pretty good indicator that they would not succeed in a high school calculus/pre-calc class, much less a college level one.</p>
