New York University (NYU) (2023-2024)

[hot cypress]

how many clubs are you in

[tiny bane]

2

[hot cypress]

ah

how big of a commitment are each of them

[tiny bane]

Not that big but I’m not in like the specialized programs. I was in one last sem but this sem I’m focusing on classes internships and prepping for soph recruiting

[solemn venture]

[solemn venture]

[hot cypress]

[tiny bane]

There’s always rly active ones

[hot cypress]

if you can

[solemn venture]

gotchu

[hot cypress]

maybe later

[tiny bane]

Yea the club programs can be huge time commitments but it’s not like high school where u have to be super involved w clubs if it’s not ur thing

[hot cypress]

okay you're right it's dead asf

[hot cypress]

fair

I mean I plan to be as involved as I can

how is it making friends

[solemn venture]

yall tryna do IB?

[hot cypress]

considering it

[fierce arrow]

ib/consulting

[tiny bane]

Keep in mind all these club programs have like 5-10% acceptance rates if not lower

And that’s among stern kids

[hot cypress]

fucking wild

[tiny bane]

But yea def get involved but don’t overdo it

[hot cypress]

which clubs did you go with

[tiny bane]

Finance is more about clutching up during those few weeks when u gotta do a ton of work rather than like nonstop grinding and starting super early

[hot cypress]

fair

[tiny bane]

They cycle is very like 2-3 chill-ish weeks one very packed week

[solemn venture]

i heard it's hard not to break into IB from stern lol

[tiny bane]

Everyone who wants to do it does it

[solemn venture]

that is pretty crazy lol

are clubs required to break in?

[tiny bane]

Almost all go to BBs and EBs

[hot cypress]

what do you have to submit for club applications

[tiny bane]

Out of the ppl who rly want to do IB

[tiny bane]

Don’t worry about it at all until ur on campus

[hot cypress]

still

[arctic briar]

idk anything abt business and i got into stern

how cooked am i?

[hot cypress]

is it all resume-based

[tiny bane]

Ask me around then it’s not worth any space in ur mind rn

[tiny bane]

Not at all

[hot cypress]

huhhh

[tiny bane]

Srsly dw abt it until ur here

[solemn venture]

same bruh i just got clubs like fbla lol

[arctic briar]

bro my main extracurricular was working at target

im Seriously cooked bro

[hot cypress]

none of my extracurriculars were business-related in the slightest

[tiny bane]

Not cooked at all clubs and internships literally don’t give a flying fuck about past experience for Freshie and sophs

[arctic briar]

Oh

GREAT

[hot cypress]

so do freshies and sophs just not get admitted or like

how do they maintain that 5-10% acceptance rate

[tiny bane]

No they do

[hot cypress]

what are they even looking for then

saying dw about it isn't gonna stop me

I'll just ask someone else

[nimble slate]

how safe is nyc tho?

[hot cypress]

depends on how conscious you are about it

lived here my whole life I've never had an issue but

[arctic briar]

nyc is safe

Lol

[hot cypress]

I'm also a white male

[tiny bane]

A lot of subjective stuff u can’t rly control or only develop through habits you’ve alrdy had for a while just don’t worry abt it yet lmao

[nimble slate]

like my parents are terrified to have me go to college in nyc

as a brown female

[tiny bane]

Super safe

[hot cypress]

mfw serial puncher

but no it's genuinely safe

[tiny bane]

I’ve been out late at night all the time

[arctic briar]

Bro thats just a Deranged man

let loose

[tiny bane]

Alone and w groups

[nimble slate]

i live in the suburb of all suburbs

[tiny bane]

Encountered many crackheads but they’ll never do anything

[nimble slate]

and i’m just worried abt how id adjust to nyc

[fierce arrow]

bro imma network with nyu/columbia/pton kids cus all are in 30-45min radius

[hot cypress]

I live in east harlem and I'm white and haven't had a problem

you will be ok

[tiny bane]

No don’t

[fierce arrow]

why

[hot cypress]

most people that tell you otherwise are intentionally fearmongering

[tiny bane]

You’ll become that one nerd emoji kid we all clown on

[fierce arrow]

shit

how come tho

is it cus im from rutgers?

[nimble slate]

also i heard that classes are rlly far from dorms?

[tiny bane]

Because if you do that you ARE that one nerd emoji kid

[tiny bane]

No doesn’t matter where ur from it’s just cringe

[nimble slate]

ahhhh rutgers!!! (former nj kid)

[fierce arrow]

ah

[hot cypress]

this is still insane to me

[fierce arrow]

stern dont have a campus

[hot cypress]

yeah

[tiny bane]

Ehh we p much do

[nimble slate]

is it a lot of walking tho???

[fierce arrow]

what do u recommend then? jus stay within rutgers

[arctic briar]

stern supremacy

[tiny bane]

The area surrounding WSP is basically that campus

[fierce arrow]

oh

[tiny bane]

Yea and don’t rush networking

Don’t network at all until ur on campus

[hot cypress]

stern is like

on w4 itself right

[fierce arrow]

got it

[tiny bane]

Ask me abt it then it rly doesn’t matter rn

[fierce arrow]

bet

[tiny bane]

Ye

[hot cypress]

convenient

ain't no way Imma be attending college one stop down from my hs

[nimble slate]

@tiny bane would you say it’s a lot of walking 😭

[hot cypress]

if anything nyu seems so compact it's probably less than a lot of other campuses no?

[nimble slate]

okok

[hot cypress]

plus there's always your shuttles

[nimble slate]

there’s shuttles?

just for nyu students?

[hot cypress]

yeah I've seen them around

yep

[nimble slate]

oh ok

[tiny bane]

Uh

[hot cypress]

don't know the specific routes but

[tiny bane]

I mean it’s not terrible

[nimble slate]

and do ppl use them a lot?

[hot cypress]

a lot of top universities have them

[tiny bane]

It’s about the same as any other large college

[hot cypress]

did uchicago summer session and used em all the time

[tiny bane]

Like you’d walk the same if not more at Penn

[nimble slate]

sorry for all the random questions i’m like rlly just scared abt the safety

[tiny bane]

It’s super safe

[nimble slate]

cuz i live in the suburb of all suburbs

[tiny bane]

Most policed area in nyc

[hot cypress]

doesn't mean there's not crackheads in wsp but

they're

regulated

[arctic briar]

when u applied, what did u apply for under stern specifically

[tiny bane]

There’s plenty but like they just want crack and spare change lol they’re not out to get you

[arctic briar]

u seem Like u have everything planned Out

[tiny bane]

Just be respectful and say you don’t carry cash they’ll walk away

[tiny bane]

Idr

[hot cypress]

mfw most people don't carry cash anymore and homeless people still don't believe me

you basically never find yourself at the brooklyn campus if you're not a tandon student tho right

[tiny bane]

Yea I’ve just always really liked business entrepreneurship and finance for a long time

[tiny bane]

I’ve never had one bother me longer after I say that

[hot cypress]

I have lol

[tiny bane]

I mean I go there for badminton and ping pong open gym sometimes

But yea rarely

[hot cypress]

oh dope

[tiny bane]

I got quite a few friends there but they usually come up here to hang

[nimble slate]

so would yall say it’s worth tbe extra money and all the effort of living across the country to go to stern over ut?

[tiny bane]

I’d say if their ur clear top two, visit both and talk to students from both and decide which environment you fit into better

But finance job placement from stern will hands down be better

[nimble slate]

they are very clearly my top two

[arctic briar]

Yeah (never been to NYU a day in my life)

[nimble slate]

i want to do quant tho

[tiny bane]

Ik guys here w $700k quant offers

We get plenty of quant kids

[nimble slate]

whaaaaaa

[tiny bane]

If ur good enough to do quant you’ll fs get into quant

But that’s way easier said than done

[hot cypress]

quant?

[nimble slate]

yeaa

[oak cloak]

HOLY

[tiny bane]

If u wanna do quant start reading green or red or whatever book it is immediately

Whichever is the first

[nimble slate]

ok

can i dm you sometime with questions?

[tiny bane]

Last year a guy from stern got a similar quant offer but turned it down for a $1M/year startup comp package and executive tech position

Shit was wild

Bro dropped out senior year too for that

[nimble slate]

damn

[hot cypress]

christ

[tiny bane]

Yea sure add me

[nimble slate]

TYYYY

[hot cypress]

how common is it for employers to pay for grad school when recruiting stern grads

[tiny bane]

Tony Wang is that you

[tiny bane]

Very

But for finance that’s way later down the line

[hot cypress]

well yeah

[tiny bane]

Like for banking you won’t need it until 4-6 years in

[hot cypress]

which do you think is the most lucrative

well quant I guess you answered that but

[tiny bane]

Lmfao

[fierce arrow]

is that what u wanna do too?

[hot cypress]

I don't plan to get a phd in math

[tiny bane]

Don’t think abt things that way

[hot cypress]

I know I know

I'm just curious

[solemn venture]

yea prob and then exit and make my own business

stern is so perfect man

[tiny bane]

Once u get here you’ll learn quickly that everything in finance leads to stupid amounts of money if ur good

[hot cypress]

valid

I had a startup idea I wonder if I can make anything of it at stern

[tiny bane]

So the important thing is just to find what you enjoy most so you can get good and stay good

[tiny bane]

Yea we have a p good startup scene

[solemn venture]

that's so tuff

[tiny bane]

Personally not that involved but def will get involved at some point

[hot cypress]

I assume you plan on staying in new york once you graduate

[tiny bane]

My friend got $75k in funding off literally just an idea zero traction zero customers tho so there’s def plenty of support

[solemn venture]

if we dont know anything about business will stern teach us how to startup businesses and stuff

[tiny bane]

Cuz so many damn accelerators in nyc

[hot cypress]

fucking WILD

[tiny bane]

No it’s a top 5 business school why would we teach you about starting a business

[tiny bane]

Bro my friend at UIUC is in the process of raising almost $1M for his startup lol

VCs throw money at college kids

[hot cypress]

same graduating class?

[tiny bane]

No he’s a junior rn

[hot cypress]

ah

still tho

[solemn venture]

pleasssss

[tiny bane]

Like half my friends r upperclassmen lol

[hot cypress]

I know it's not easy but I didn't know just how resourced this place is

[tiny bane]

a top 5 business school that’s ranked #2 for finance has crazy business and finance resources WHAT 😮😮😮

[hot cypress]

💀

[tiny bane]

We have more resources than you can possibly take advantage of trust me

[hot cypress]

I meant at such a young age

like

[tiny bane]

I’m just scratching the surface

[hot cypress]

I thought the degree was gonna do it later down the line but I didn't realize so much shit could happen in undergrad alone

[arctic briar]

pull a lick and exit scam wit sum funds

[nimble slate]

at stern apparently it could

[tiny bane]

Banking recruiting process p much starting soph fall

That’s in like a year and a half for you

Finance stuff moves quick

[tiny bane]

For all the best finance fields this is single-handedly the most important recruiting process of your early career

[tiny bane]

With VC money?

[tiny bane]

Yea every top finance program is like this

[fierce arrow]

top pick for u right?

[jaunty lance]

No I heard that it waitlists approximately the same number of people that it accepts

[solemn venture]

hell yea

im probably committing

[tiny bane]

When’s admit day

[solemn venture]

can you only do concentrations if u decide to do a BS major in just Business?

not like the other bs majors like BS in Business, Technology and Entrepreneurship

[tiny bane]

Yeah I think so

[solemn venture]

so u cant do BS in Bus., tech, and entrep

?

only BS in pure business

ty for the help btw

[tiny bane]

You can do BS

but you can’t do like BTE with finance concentration for example

They’re all bs tho

[solemn venture]

oh

ok

so wait i cant choose a concentration?

what are u doing right now if u dont mind me asking

like studying

[tiny bane]

BS w finance conc

[solemn venture]

oh so no double major

[tiny bane]

Nope but just take finance classes

[solemn venture]

that's prob what most ppl do right

[tiny bane]

It’s not a huge deal at all

Yea

[solemn venture]

ohh

so concentration doesnt rly matter cuz u can still take the courses

i saw a lot of ppl double major in business + cs/math

and ppl say it's rly doable because stern has a fairly low workload compared to other business schools

[tiny bane]

Very incorrect

[solemn venture]

oh really

damn

so i guess double majoring wouldnt be that worth it right

[tiny bane]

So there’s this thing

Called stern curve

[solemn venture]

having a math degree would look really good for recruiting but stern is already recruited so heavily

[solemn venture]

oh yea 33% only get As

lol

[tiny bane]

And it causes massive grade deflation and is annoying as shit

Like cutoff for an A in my accounting class is a 97%

[solemn venture]

damn bruh

[tiny bane]

More like 15-20%

So even tho classes r easy it cancels out due to curve

[solemn venture]

what's a decent gpa that u should aim for by the end of ur four years at stern?

that will get u good recruiting

like 3.8?

[tiny bane]

Yea

But average is 3.6

[solemn venture]

oh

that's not bad

[tiny bane]

So 3.8 is prolly like top 20% of stern

Due to grade deflation

[solemn venture]

stern has crazy recruiting man

even with a low gpa

[tiny bane]

Most b schools are like 3.7 average

It makes a p big difference in ur gpa

[solemn venture]

oh really

[tiny bane]

But like this is a known thing among employers

So odds are you’re fine

It wont screw you over but it’ll cause some headaches

[solemn venture]

bett

ill aim for a 3.7-3.8

maybe double majoring might not be worth it ngl

just go the basic finance concentration route

[tiny bane]

I’d wait a year before

[solemn venture]

im just doing hella research rn

[tiny bane]

Or at least a sem

Wait r u at nyu

Or incoming

[solemn venture]

i read online that u should start freshman year if u wana double major

im incoming

got stern yesterday

thankfully

[tiny bane]

Like maybe take 1 class

But don’t rush it

[solemn venture]

oh ok

that makes sense

[tiny bane]

It’s annoying cuz stern has the most tryhard b school class this year too lol

1545 average is crazy

[solemn venture]

yea bro i had a 1590 😭

but that's cuz of test optional

low sat scores arent counted in that

everyone prob had 1500+

[tiny bane]

Yea but that’ll affect all schools

[solemn venture]

but all those schools are test optional so

u right

[tiny bane]

And also u can just tell

My grade puts way more effort into classes than they need to

[solemn venture]

im curious do u see graduate mba students at stern when ur taking classes and stuff

[tiny bane]

Yea I got lunch w one the other day

[solemn venture]

no wayyy

that's cool bro

for networking type

[tiny bane]

I mean they’re just people lol

It’s more the celebrities, crackheads, and SUPER rich students

[solemn venture]

damnn

[tiny bane]

All the richest students go to nyu and usc hands down

I’m friends w a soph who manages his family’s $200m stock portfolio

[solemn venture]

bro

💀

[tiny bane]

Another person ik has a college budget of $4m

It’s ridiculous

[solemn venture]

dudeee

that's wild

i might be a bit out of place lol

[tiny bane]

Theres too many rich asians in stern bruh

The average monthly budget on top of $90k/year base fees is $1k/mo

Idk how everyone be affording that

And it runs out quick too w how exp everything is here

[solemn venture]

damn

what type of stuff do u have to buy there

[tiny bane]

I be feeling so broke sometimes

[solemn venture]

im lowkey abouta just use my meal plan 😭

[tiny bane]

Just going out for food, clubbing, clothes, day-to-day expenses, Ubers, etc

And ofc poker

Huge poker community at stern

[solemn venture]

damn 💀

i aint doing no poker

[tiny bane]

Poker is so much fun

[solemn venture]

is nyu a big party school cuz i dont rly wanna party too much in college

or like frat and all that greek stuff

i dont like that stuff 😭

[tiny bane]

Just don’t go above $20 buy in

Or you’ll end up down $7k in a day like another friend of mine

[solemn venture]

damn bro

[tiny bane]

I mean I blew $3k on some dumb shit too so I can’t say shit

[tiny bane]

Ehhhh

If you don’t seek it you won’t even see it

[solemn venture]

like compared to uva or umich or like cmu

[tiny bane]

Cuz we don’t have frat houses

[solemn venture]

oh really

[tiny bane]

Well there’s a ton of parties

[solemn venture]

it's not important to be apart of greek life to access important clubs and stuff for finance?

[tiny bane]

But they’re at ppls houses or some rich student will rent out a bar or nightclub

[tiny bane]

Depends

There’s some clubs here will if you don’t drink and party w them they’ll kick you out

[solemn venture]

bruh what

that's so weird

are they important

like the investment analysis group or sum

[tiny bane]

In general all finance clubs bond over alcohol

[solemn venture]

what about the Islamic Finance Group 💀

(im muslim

[tiny bane]

Oh

Then ur chill they won’t care

[solemn venture]

im looking at this
https://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/community/student-clubs

[tiny bane]

As long as u have a legit reason

[solemn venture]

they got hella clubs there

[tiny bane]

Like you’ll still have to pull up

[solemn venture]

yeaa

[tiny bane]

But you won’t have to drink

[solemn venture]

what are the big clubs?

like finance society

cuz u have to apply to most right and they're pretty comp

[tiny bane]

But don’t worry or talk about clubs to anyone until you’re on campus

[solemn venture]

oh fr

[tiny bane]

Dw about them

[solemn venture]

im just tryna get a head start i gotta lock in 😭

i got such a good opportunity i cant mess up

[tiny bane]

There’s no getting a head start they don’t care about finance knowledge or past experience

Ask me about ts in the summer no point talking abt it rn

[solemn venture]

ok lol

just last thing do u gotta write essays when u apply

[tiny bane]

But like it’s designed in a way where u can’t get a headstart

[solemn venture]

and do they look at high school stuff like ecs and stats

[tiny bane]

Yea

Club app season is a GRIND

[solemn venture]

damn fr

when is that

freshman year?

what do they even look at other than essays lol

[tiny bane]

Ask me in the summer lmao

[solemn venture]

plssss

just do they look at high school stuff or nah

[tiny bane]

Y’all be doing the same shit I did after I got in it’s funny

[solemn venture]

😭

will my sat be of use

[tiny bane]

They don’t care about past experience

[solemn venture]

ok thanks!!

for startups at stern how does that work

is it like a part of a class

[tiny bane]

Just focus on developing good study habits, work ethic, general interview skills, and an interesting personality

[solemn venture]

bettt

ty man

[tiny bane]

Idk look it up

[solemn venture]

ok i will

😁

[tiny bane]

I made like $100k+ off a startup in hs so I just fund my own shit now I don’t rly do any of their programs or whatever

[solemn venture]

[tiny bane]

VCs are such weasels

[solemn venture]

[tiny bane]

If you like startups or internet money you’ll love nyc

Lotta that over here

[tiny bane]

Ah okay

But yeah ofc we have a ton of tourists

[solemn venture]

tuff

bro

someone told me stern students are treated like celebs

is that true

i hope not 😭

[tiny bane]

Dude if there’s one thing ik for sure about NYU

College experience is unmatched

[desert narwhal]

Is NYU good for applied math undergrad? I searched it up and it said they were like in top 3 but idk if that’s for their grad program.

[solemn venture]

yes its insane

math in general too

[desert narwhal]

Rlly?

[solemn venture]

applied math especially

yea

[tiny bane]

I’ve visited a lot of friends and depend time at their schools and just know a decent amount of people at like every t50 p much cuz I went to a big hs, and nothing comes close to nyu ucla and usc

[desert narwhal]

I had no clue tbh. I mostly knew abt it for its arts and film

[tiny bane]

All the rich rich ppl come here for a reason

[solemn venture]

tufff

[solemn venture]

nyu mainly known for business im pretty sure

[tiny bane]

Every part of the experience is just way higher quality

[solemn venture]

but math its rly good in

cs it's decent

[tiny bane]

No tisch is actually super super prestigious

[solemn venture]

oh wow really

[desert narwhal]

[solemn venture]

northwestern is so good

[desert narwhal]

Is nyu’s biomed engineering program also solid?

[desert narwhal]

Ah dang

[tiny bane]

Lotta bs classes I’ve heard but overall it’s a good program

[desert narwhal]

Tyyy. I’m so stuck I like don’t know what to do. I’m visiting the campuses but like I didn’t think I’d get this far so I’m kinda attached to all of the schools I got into still

[tiny bane]

No idea I don’t look at any rankings outside of business tbh

[solemn venture]

u cant go wrong no matter what congrats

good position to be in

[desert narwhal]

Ah dang I’ll look into it more later

[tiny bane]

I just know nyu is known as one of the best schools for drama, the arts, modeling, making music, stuff like that

[solemn venture]

business 😭

[tiny bane]

So I get to take hella easy course loads

[solemn venture]

Ima take more later to pad gpa but

[solemn venture]

[tiny bane]

Yea they take a lot it’s nice

[solemn venture]

[tiny bane]

And a lot of classes don’t give af about attendance either

[solemn venture]

bro 💀

[tiny bane]

So like if it’s an easy class nobody goes

[solemn venture]

do u have to take any science classes?

[tiny bane]

Like I took stats only going to the midterms I never went to a single lecture

[tiny bane]

Nah

There’s basically 0 real gen Ed’s

If u play ur cards right

[solemn venture]

they take a 4 on micro bro

bro i can skip literally so much

[tiny bane]

Perhaps

School that has the students w the worst sleep schedule has to go to either nyu or MIT istg

All my friends r up rn 💀

[sacred owl]

yes

[shy gorge]

Hey guys where can I find all the tuition fees and all that

Is that on my portal somewhere?

[sacred owl]

should be just below the status update section on your portal

[viscid apex]

did anyone in here get into tisch

[crimson quarry]

Waitlisted

[viscid apex]

omg twinning

[heavy hearth]

What is the percent of waitlist?

And any one know what percent of waitlisted people get accepted?

[wise monolith]

congrats to everyone who made it

[fierce arrow]

dawg how is this possible? straight out of ug, what quant firms is it at??

[fierce arrow]

this is fr stanford they pay you 10k to come up with any idea

[tiny bane]

RenTech, HRT, Jump pay a lot

[hot cypress]

Hey for anyone in stern, what’s the official title of your major

Business with a concentration in Finance for instance?

Would that work

[sacred owl]

what is quant?

[tiny bane]

BS in business w finance conc

[tiny bane]

Google

[boreal pollen]

Hey someone ik got waitlisted and nyu is their top choice for walk on athletics do u recommend just checking the box for every school to increase odds?

[fierce arrow]

sorry for pinging but @junior valley ^^

[junior valley]

tyty

[desert shard]

Wl

[solemn venture]

@tiny bane do yk if ppl do this

major in business with two concentrations + double major in cas

i thought u couldnt do concentrations if u double majored

[twilit heron]

tf

[arctic stump]

were yall able to find your nyu id?

[onyx knot]

isnt it in checklists and more

unless university id is different

[arctic stump]

oh yeah i found it there tysm!

[shy gorge]

Not sure why I can’t seem to find it. What should it have or what’s the text I should be looking for?

[sacred owl]

For me, its just a hyperlin that says "CLICK HERE TO VIEW YOUR FINANCIAL AID OFFER >>"

I head from others that you may not have it if your fafsa is not processed yet

[shy gorge]

What if I didn’t apply for financial aid, how would I find that

[granite falcon]

is mlk scholarship out?

[twilit heron]

Man I wish I could've gotten more aid

[tiny bane]

I’ve heard of one conc plus double major

[surreal furnace]

Yeah can one fill CSS now post deadline any insights?

[shy gorge]

Can I still apply for aid after I got accepted? Like what if my financial situation changed because my family thought they could afford nyu so I didn’t apply with financial aid, but now they cant?

[chilly kraken]

withdrew from waitlist, good luck yall 🫡

[sweet pine]

It's legit horrible lol

It's so normal to go to the library and people just be up at 2 am having normal ass conversations like

[sweet pine]

You get used to it

It can be frequently repetitive but sometimes the locations have good food.
Palladium most commonly usually has the same type of food. Same with places like Paulson or Upstein since they're GrubHub

18 and Below cycles out it's food menu every week so it's the same food then it changes

I personally prefer Paulson for burgers or chicken sandwiches, palladium for smoothies and third north if it's just breakfast (Minus Sundays because Palladium has Palladium brunch on Sundays)

Though palladium has some good food sometimes like sushi or pizza but I'm a sushi hater

Actually same with Kimmel

I think Kimmel is my #1 favorite spot cause they also sell coffee a floor below idk why that slipped me

• Similar options to palladium

[sweet pine]

NO LOL they are made fun of

just like the rest of the schools

[sweet pine]

Yesn't in the fact you need a fake ID if you wanted to below the age of 21 (clubs are sought out after)
It is very easy to avoid the party scene

[mint osprey]

what do we think abt nyu shanghai

[tiny bane]

Bro we literally got booed during one of the beginning of year events

So it’s quite the opposite tbh. Not rly tho like ppl don’t rly care as long as u don’t act super finance bro but they def don’t glaze it at all

[tiny bane]

Kimmel and upstein should be open during the weekends

[cyan vector]

for NYU CS is it tandon or college of arts and sceicen

[tiny bane]

Mainly cas

[twilit heron]

Why is NYU so expensive

[solemn venture]

good bruh 😭

[solemn venture]

how do i do housing registration

😭

[hot cypress]

hey my fafsa processed 8 days ago but the financial aid checklist for admitted students still doesn't show it as received

Anyone know what to do

[solemn venture]

same for everyone

colleges dont have fafsa yet

[hot cypress]

oh

right

[solemn venture]

fafsa processed but still has to send to colleges

[hot cypress]

thank you

[solemn venture]

np

@hot cypress did u do housing registration yet

[hot cypress]

I submitted my deposit but didn't attempt to no

[solemn venture]

oh ok

1500?

[hot cypress]

yessir

well 1000 for housing

but yes

[solemn venture]

u should try
https://housing.nyu.edu/apply

idk if itll work yet for u tho

[hot cypress]

right I got that same link

but

[solemn venture]

i put my 1500 in last night but it doesnt work lol

[hot cypress]

I don't think it's right

[solemn venture]

oh fr

[hot cypress]

we're not enrolling for summer 2024

ah nvm

I see you can still select departure/arrival instead

yeah still nothing

also

@solemn venture

I see you're on the nyu class of 28 disc

were you ever verified

[solemn venture]

nah i didnt verify yet

[hot cypress]

hm

I verified two days ago

and still nothing

[solemn venture]

rescinded

[hot cypress]

granted I just committed today so

[solemn venture]

jk

sorry

[hot cypress]

lol

[solemn venture]

are u doing stern

[hot cypress]

yep

[solemn venture]

they got active ig gcs

[hot cypress]

I'll check em out

also how long after you committed did your checklist update

this

I know it's within 24 hours but it's a peace of mind thing I want to make sure my decision is reflected on my portal so I'm curious

[solemn venture]

i just checked just now lol

i put in my deposit i think like

[hot cypress]

Ah nice

[solemn venture]

10pm yesterday est

so it took much less than 24 hrs

[mild forge]

how much was the deposit?

[solemn venture]

1000 housing 500 enrollment

1500 total

i was gonna get it waived but theres no point because if u pay 1500 now then thats 1500 off ur fall tuition

[balmy glade]

If i didnt submit a CSS for NYU am i cooked

[olive tinsel]

yea

[solemn venture]

maybe if u submitted fafsa ur good idk

[balmy glade]

Yeah i submitted my fafsa, but i heard most scholarships comes from their CSS

😭

[tiny bane]

The area of nyc that we’re in is crazy rich

[twilit heron]

I mean obviously

[tiny bane]

A 300 sqft one-room studio apartment goes for like $5k/month

[twilit heron]

wish I was built like that ngl

[tiny bane]

So obv like tuition costs gonna be high

Also we’re like usc where a lot of crazy rich ppl come to school here so they can enjoy the city

[tiny bane]

I mean most colleges in cities are in or next to broke areas

Guys for housing Paulson and Lipton are the best ones

[solemn venture]

@tiny bane do yk how to do this

[tiny bane]

Brittany and Weinstein p good too

Uhall overrated

[solemn venture]

birttany is on broadway right

tuff

[tiny bane]

It’s on a very regular street

[tiny bane]

Uh just look up nyu housing portal or it might be in your application portal

[solemn venture]

im there i see this

i just do nyu shioabdsoafl login?

[tiny bane]

And don’t go random roomie this school is too big to not have some weirdos

[tiny bane]

Yea

[twilit heron]

Yeah massive ahh school if I go I do need a roommate

[tiny bane]

Yea if u don’t have one just submit to one of those nyu roommate pages

[solemn venture]

ok when i login it brings me here

what do i do

[tiny bane]

I’ve never heard of someone not finding a great roommate off of instagram. All the horror stories are form random roomie

[tiny bane]

Click the three bars

Or click departure/arrival it might be there

[tiny bane]

Idr that well I did this a year ago

[solemn venture]

it says i put in my enrollment + housing deposit already in my checklist

[tiny bane]

Do yk fs that they’ve released it yet

[solemn venture]

and i have my nyu email (still waiting for the stern one)

[solemn venture]

i saw ppl in the ig gc talking about submitting the form but most of them did ED 1 and ED 2

[tiny bane]

Honestly just join the insta GCs someone there will always have it figured out

[tiny bane]

I remember filling mine out like a week after I got my admission result

So give it a few days

[solemn venture]

ok bet ty

i guess it takes time to process

[tiny bane]

90%+ of ppl get one of their top two choices btw

[solemn venture]

it says i should get my stern email within the next 10 hours tho

[tiny bane]

And everyone who requests roommate gets a room w that chosen person

[solemn venture]

paulson gonna be my num1

[tiny bane]

Yea Paulson is great

[solemn venture]

the building looks so nice

[tiny bane]

I was too lazy to write the essays but those who got in all say it’s worth it

[solemn venture]

there are essays u gotta write 😭

what

[tiny bane]

Last year you had to write like 3 full essays

To even have a chance of getting into Paulson

All the other dorms aren’t like that tho

[solemn venture]

god damn

what were the prompts like

[tiny bane]

And idk if it’s the same this year

[solemn venture]

like how do u plan on treating ur roommate well or some bs

[tiny bane]

Idk I pulled a tldr

[solemn venture]

💀

that's crazy

[tiny bane]

More like why Paulson type shit

[solemn venture]

ima just put a bit of effort in it

actually nah

i might as well try hard

[tiny bane]

If you guys have palladium in ur forms, that’s also a rly great dorm

[solemn venture]

is it close to stern?

[tiny bane]

No

It’s like a 15 min walk

[solemn venture]

oh nah

[tiny bane]

But it’s Paulson quality

[solemn venture]

paulson is right on wallstreet its ideal

[tiny bane]

Yeah it’s p close

My dorm Weinstein is the closest I think

Weinstein is best if u like convenience and don’t care about aesthetics

[solemn venture]

i just want a nice big room

[tiny bane]

Looks like a prison but super close to campus, 2 of the best dining halls being in the building, great lounge, one convenience store inside one right next to you, etc

[solemn venture]

close to stern

[solemn venture]

oh tuff

[tiny bane]

Then go Paulson or palladium

[solemn venture]

itll be my second choice

[tiny bane]

Lipton has nice rooms too

Weinstein rooms r some of the smallest

[sweet pine]

Paulson also has a cafe sooo

Palladium/ Paulson best choices imo

Lipton is good too

for a freshman though the food gets old SO quick there

[solemn venture]

bettt

[heavy hearth]

Is it possible to transfer from a school to Stern in once i get to nyu?

[solemn venture]

yes!

[heavy hearth]

Is it easy?

[solemn venture]

no i heard it's really really hard

but it's doable

they have to talk a few people per year for sure so its worth trying

[heavy hearth]

Can I switch my sophomore year or even junior year?

Or do i have to stick to one school for four years?

[solemn venture]

https://www.stern.nyu.edu/programs-admissions/undergraduate/why-stern/admissions/transfer-applicants

look at that

idk when ur allowed to tho sry

[heavy hearth]

Ok thanks you so much!

[solemn venture]

np gl

[solemn venture]

@tiny bane do yk if i did this right

[sweet pine]

Transferring to stern is more difficult

[heavy hearth]

Even as a nyu student in another school?

[tiny bane]

CAS to stern is p easy if ur involved in stern clubs and keep a good gpa ur freshman year

2 of my friends from cas j got in via internal transfer

[heavy hearth]

Oh okok thanks so much

[tiny bane]

Creating ur email? Yea it’s correct

[heavy hearth]

Did they plan it that way or did they feel like stern was better for them?

[tiny bane]

They decided they wanted to go into finance

[heavy hearth]

I see

[tiny bane]

It wasn’t like planned in advance before they got into nyu or anything like that

[heavy hearth]

Oh ok

[hot cypress]

@tiny bane are there any buildings that don’t require id? I live in the city and yeah I’m planning to do weekend on the square and all that but if I wanted to give myself a self-guided tour beyond the outside are there any spots that allow for that

[tiny bane]

Dawg we’re in nyc

U think they gonna j let the crackheads in?

[hot cypress]

Had to at least ask

[tiny bane]

A naked dude w a knife jumped over the id gates and started running around the dorm

[hot cypress]

Got it

[tiny bane]

last sem

[hot cypress]

Guess it was just a ‘middle of nowhere’ thing

Stony let me lol

UChicago unsurprisingly did not

But worth a shot

[tiny bane]

I mean if u ask during admit day and show proof of admission they’ll let you in

At least for most buildings

Idk if stern will let u in

[solemn venture]

how long did it take u to get the stern email?

will the change just show up and automatically update on gmail

[tiny bane]

Yea in like a day

[solemn venture]

ty

[heavy hearth]

I am really hoping to get off waitlist

Anyone have a video or website where i can see what to submit for updates and what not to submit? Cuz NYU doesn’t want some specific updates

[twilit heron]

stern

[surreal furnace]

Did you CSS get updated after submitting post deadline?

[hot cypress]

Idrk sorry I submitted CSS before the deadline

and my portal updated accordingly

[flint lantern]

Is it too late rn to write an NYU LOCI to get off the waitlsit when I was waitlisted in Feb

[hot cypress]

@tiny bane how many days before the first day of classes do first-years typically move in

[tiny bane]

This year it was like

2 weeks?

I think

Yea move in August 24 classes started sept 5

[surreal furnace]

When does the Fall Semester start this year?

[hot cypress]

Classes start on 9/3 according to their website

[hot cypress]

Ty

[solemn venture]

its been 32 hours since i set my directory email to stern.nyu.edu and it still hasnt updated

its still my [email protected]

[jagged basin]

does nyu supplementals change?

[tiny bane]

P sure this year was different from last year

They removed the diversity essay right?

[potent cape]

Is there any chance i get off NYU waitlist AND get decent aid? im talking unde 60k total pay

my family makes 200k...

cumulatively

[tiny bane]

NYU isn’t great w aid

[potent cape]

Fuck me bro

[hot cypress]

my family made just under 200k for TY 2022 and I got no need-based

all merit

[hot cypress]

how'd you do that

[granite magnet]

guys is gender neutral dorming a good idea

[tiny bane]

I’ve never heard it of anyone doing that

[granite magnet]

apparently 1.5% of first year opt in

sounds risky

[tiny bane]

I assume it’s for if you want to room with your SO or are trans

[tiny bane]

Sounds about right

[granite magnet]

nah

I thought it would be funny

im not LGBTQ or anything

[tiny bane]

If you want to have a 90%+ chance of getting your first or second choice dorm or get into Paulson, don’t go gender neutral

[granite magnet]

ok

[heavy hearth]

Does waitlist decisions come in waves? Or does everyone get it at the very end?

[sweet pine]

even as an nyu student yes

[potent cape]

waves

[heavy hearth]

If i got waitlisted from Stern, should I add more schools of interest? Is it bad if I add like 4-5 more schools of interest?

[heavy hearth]

Do we have dates for each wave?

[potent cape]

i think its random but they come very sporadically

someone i knew got in like in super late july

[jagged basin]

Is there a better chance of getting into NYU ED1 than ED2

[mellow summit]

idk i got in rd

[potent cape]

Typically ED1 is always slightly better than ED2

[south quail]

Is NYU CS good? I saw a lot of people saying there were many issues with the program

[potent cape]

Yes theyre pretty good regarding jon opportunity

job

Nothign standout just a good program

[tepid crystal]

if i check shanghai on the WL form is it a lot more likely that they'll give me shanghai instead of NY if I get taken off the WL? I'm ok w/ shanghai but I would still prefer NY campus if possible. (Engineering major if that makes a diff)

[potent cape]

theyll try to get you in tandon first iirc

i checked nyush too lmao

[tepid crystal]

Good to know ty

[unreal cipher]

Anyone know the acceptance rate for this year?

[signal ridge]

UPenn cas vs NYU stern for finance/ib?

[fierce arrow]

thats p difficult

is there any other external factors like cost?

personally im going stern but u cant go wrong with either one

[signal ridge]

nah lets assume full pay both

[fierce arrow]

oh

hmm id still say stern but just by a bit

u can still sellout to finance at penn cas

50% do ib/consulting

nyu stern just makes it easier

cus location + best ib placement (interchangeable tho with wharton)

its p hard to transfer to wharton

but cas can get the job done too

its really up to you, for me tho id go stern

[potent cape]

Stern

Whartons a different story but tbh theyre so similar go with preference

[potent cape]

single digits

[potent cape]

yep

[onyx knot]

only for main campus probably

[potent cape]

Lol thats what I meant

Who gives a fuck about sattelites

[solemn venture]

will that be updated on google this year or will it take a few years

[potent cape]

it was 11% according to google

[solemn venture]

rn it's 12.5

and thats for 2022

[mellow summit]

Is there an ig gc?

[solemn venture]

for stern

[mellow summit]

oh okay

[granite magnet]

yo can anyone room with me

[fierce arrow]

Dm @solemn venture

[solemn venture]

i got one already 💀

[granite magnet]

Are y’all legit getting a roommate without meeting them irl

[fierce arrow]

Lol

[solemn venture]

yea met em on ig

[hot cypress]

in a week???

nah that's WILD

[solemn venture]

lol

it was pretty easy

[wise monolith]

^ it aint hard

[chilly kraken]

i also got a roommate LOL

not for nyu tho obv

[hot cypress]

@tiny bane which dorms would you not recommend

Goes out to any current student

[tiny bane]

They’ve all been p nice this year tbh

I’ve heard of ppl having issues at Weinstein and 3N tho

Personally I’m at Weinstein and have had 0 issues except one of the elevators being broken for a while, but ppl in the opposite wing have def reported rats, plumbing issues, stuff like that

3N issues were similar

Uhall and Palladium r rly nice but obnoxiously far from campus imo but that’s more personal preference

Who’s gonna be at admit days on Sunday btw

[solemn venture]

me

[tranquil marsh]

Do they take AP credit

[tiny bane]

Google nyu ap credits and find the page for your school

[solemn venture]

https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2024/april/nyu-sends-out-offers-of-admission-to-the-class-of-2028.html

[shy gorge]

how to find cost of attendance nyu? i cant find it on my portal

[tiny bane]

I think it’s somewhere in Albert

[cyan vector]

by what date do you have to accept NYU's admissions offer

[solemn venture]

nyu business rankings went up to 7 and undergrad still at 5

[desert narwhal]

How do u see undergrad rankings specifically

[desert lagoon]

wait they updated?

[solemn venture]

only business ranking

grad business ranking

stanford went up to number 1 btw

[desert lagoon]

Bruh why is Stanford tied w Wharton

[solemn venture]

replaced uchicago

[desert lagoon]

Harvard too low imo

And why tf is Stern tied w Haas

[solemn venture]

umich is too low now

its 12 lol

[desert lagoon]

should be higher

[solemn venture]

haas should be higher too

[desert lagoon]

Eh I think stern is better than Ross and haas

[chilly kraken]

Haas 😍

[barren ice]

oop tfw i didnt go on this server for years

anyways just wanted to say hi

i'm BPE '24

feel free to reach out if u have any qs etc

i just lurk around here

[eternal zodiac]

Have anyone receive their nyu welcome package?

[tranquil marsh]

not yet

do they even send one?

[sweet pine]

It's not really anything tbh

Its like a letter and maybe a sticker

[slow sun]

anyone here on the waitlist?

been waitlisted since dec.

[hot cypress]

@sweet pine @tiny bane @shy quarry @blissful patrol @blazing nimbus what month did you get your nyu id

[tiny bane]

Bro pinged 5 nyu kids just for that

[shy quarry]

dawg …

im a first year abroad student so i got mine the day i moved in

that’s def not the case for nyc tho

[sweet pine]

help

the day you move in

[hot cypress]

well yeah I didn't know how much any of you actually check this server and I didn't want to wait a week so I went for multiple

[hot cypress]

thanks

[sweet pine]

lol

[cyan vector]

does anybody know what like NYU tandons tuition cost is

[solemn venture]

46000

[cyan vector]

wait how do you know

[solemn venture]

google

but thats 2016 data

now its gonna be a lot higher

tuition at nyu increases 5% per year

now its probably 65000$

which makes sense because stern is 65000 according to my financial aid package

im p sure all schools have same tuition

[cyan vector]

where can you view your finical aid package, i do not see mine

[sweet pine]

Go on Albert and go to the bursar tab

It's the one with money and coin symbol

[cyan vector]

but i have not accepted the offer yet

[twilit heron]

why is NYU so expensive bruh

[cyan vector]

ong

[sweet pine]

It should be on the same page where your acceptance is then

[sweet pine]

Capitalism
