<p>Hi, NYU is my ultimate top choice for college, but my stats are kinda borderline. I have pretty good SAT scores and I am retaking, but low GPA and great extracurriculars, but I really want to get into NYU and my two main choices are Gallatin and CAS. Which one is easier for admission? I think that I would probably be a bit happier at Gallatin, but I would be willing to do GSP if worst comes to worst, but which is easier to get into Gallatin or GSP?</p>
<p>anyone?</p>
<p>Which is easier to et into Gallatin or CAS?</p>
<p>Acceptance rates and SAT scores at CAS and Gallatin are comparable. Both range from high 1300s to 1400s...i think.</p>
<p>Except the fact that you can be GSP'd (NYU community college) at CAS and Gallatin wants to fill only around 200 incomming freshman spots per year. Gallatin also looks in your essays for you to be 'individualized' 'independent' etc.</p>
<p>anyone else? </p>
<p>Which is easier to get into CAS or Gallatin?</p>
<p>Neither are easier.</p>
<p>I recently visited the information session at NYU, and the admissions representative said that all of the NYU undergraduate schools have relatively similar acceptance rates
, which is about 29 percent now. However, if you apply to CAS there might be a higher chance that you are accepted in the General Studies Program (if not CAS). Gallatin, on the other hand, usually doesnt defer students to the General Studies Program, according to the admission representative. Therefore, your chances are a little smaller.
I am also in the same situation as youto choose to apply to Gallatin or to CASthat is the question. Who knows what I will end up doing, but good luck with your decision and acceptance to the school you want to attend.</p>
<p>Gallatin has lower average stats, but less chance of being referred to GSP (although they do put some in gsp). Comparable acceptance rates is very misleading...for example Stern has similiar acceptance rates, but an average SAT score about 50 higher among other things...its just that higher caliber students apply.</p>
<p>ugh.. my life will miserable at stern :D</p>
<p>Gallatin does not have lower stats than CAS. They are the same.</p>
<p>suub, gallatin has lower average sat and gpa, unless you group GSP with CAS.</p>
<p>And where are you getting this information?</p>
<p>uhhh....man I am soo confused right now. My main goal is to do something economics related and business related and gallatin is the back door, but CAS has econ which is also great, but I really didn't understand what I would be doing at Gallatin. Could someone explain to me what I would be doing at Gallatin if I got accepted, I mean they don't hav majors. Also, later on I plan on going to a top MBA program, if that makes any difference.</p>
<p>uh...you're thinking of applying to gallatin but you don't know the first thing about it</p>
<p>so why gallatin, why not steinhardt or another random school...</p>
<p>apply to the school you want to attend. no backdoor alley ways etc. whats the point if you get in if thats not originally the program/school/department you wanted? yea you can transfer later, but your first year...um NYU costs A LOT OF MONEY, but i'm sure you already know that</p>
<p>pre-medwannabe, I'd research Business more before you apply if I was you...If you don't think you can get into CAS, I don't see how'd you get into a top MBA program (They have 10% acceptance rates). Furthermore, to get accepted you need about 3-4 years of real world experience with constant promotions...make sure your major allows this. </p>
<p>Econ is basicaly a worthless major unless you do good enough in it to get into grad school (You need a Masters to basically get any econ job) or a MBA program, make sure your up to the task of doing well. Everyone says they'll do better in college, but the truth is, most don't.</p>
<p>Definately do CAS if econ is your choice, we have an awesome department, but at the same time its going to be difficult so you can't screw around.</p>
<p>Gallatin students tend to have lower scores but have much more extracurrics, because NYU looks for creative/innovative people for Gallatin. Note: you can still apply to Gallatin and get into GSP and do that for 2 years and then transfer to Gallatin.</p>
<p>Don't think about MBA programs now, do as well in school now and get a good job and then try for an MBA. Of all professional schools, MBA schools accept students with the lowest GPAs because they value work experience more.</p>
<p>mattistotle- premeds performance in high school has no bearing on him being able to get accepted into a top MBA program. Admissions into a graduate school is largely based on ones work experience and GMAT scores, not schools he/shehad difficultlygetting accepted to during senior year.</p>
<p>superman, thanks for completely missing my point. My point was is he had trouble in high school, theres a high probability he wont be stellar in college, and thus not beon the path for a top mba program. The fact that his alias is "premed" furthers my point that he really needs to figure out what he wants to do with his life before applying..not just random applying to a school he thinks is easier on a weeks fling.</p>
<p>hahaha...thanks for the funny responses everyone..Well, I guess i should give a little infor about myself since some of you are kind of missing the point. I attend a top tier magnet high school in new jersey where I was in the Medical Academy, which i realized was a complete mistake and realized that I should have been in the Finance Academy because medicine really wasn't something that I wanted to do, but when i signed on CC I made my sn pre-medwannabe because I thought medicine would be good for me, but then with the realization that a finance careers was definitely a better fit for me. My stats are somewhre from a 3.25 - 3.45 GPA no rank amazing extracurriculars around a low 1400 SAT probably. Also, I have a lot of leadership and extracurriculars. I want to do something economics related, maybe work at an Investment Bank or a consulting firm. All I want to know is whether beign an Econ major at NYU CAS would get me a high paying Wall Street job? I am in the same situation with Umich- Ann Arbor, but econ majors there get recruited by top firms pretty well, even though they are not in ross and they have the chance to transfer t oross business after two years. What I am saying is whether I would be able to get recruited by top places being an econ major, even though im not in Stern?</p>
<p>umm i understood your point i just don't agree with it</p>
