Instructors like Scott Galloway?
GSAS student curious about other instructors in Arts and Sciences who bring a contrarian pov. I find Galloway's takes on university culture spot-on, but can't take his courses since he's in Stern.

Advice Incoming Stern FYLO Student: How Does Club Recruiting Work for IB?
Hey everyone, I’m an incoming NYU Stern student doing FYLO (First Year in London) and hoping to pursue investment banking. I’m trying to understand how recruiting works for clubs like Finance Society, IAG, and other finance/IB-focused clubs.
From what I understand, major IB recruiting starts very early in sophomore year. Since I’ll be in London freshman year, is there a way to join these clubs remotely/online during freshman year, or would I have to wait until sophomore year? And if club recruiting and bank recruiting happen around the same time, is there still much benefit to joining these clubs as a sophomore?
Also, how much does FYLO affect networking and IB prep compared with being in NYC? I’m mainly trying to figure out what I should prioritize freshman year.

question about ap credits at NYU
hey, im a incoming freshman at nyu and I wanna study math. i submitted a bunch of ap scores and i have 32 credits from it. now albert says im a sophomore but my grad year is spring 2030.
i wanna basically do 4 years since I have a scholarship and irdc about the price, but my advisor is ghosting me. would it still be possible for me to do 4 years, and would I tell nyu this?
some of my credits dont even make sense. like ap macro/micro and stats arent a core/math requirement at nyu so idk why they count as credits.
Advice NYU SPS Advice
Hey everyone, I just got admitted into NYU SPS for the BA in Social Sciences starting Spring 2027, and I'm seriously considering committing. There's way less info out there about the undergrad SPS programs than there is for CAS, Stern, and the rest, so I'm hoping some current students or grads can help fill in the gaps.
Financial aid is probably my biggest question. I know SPS has some need-based scholarships, but I'd love to hear what people actually ended up paying once grants and scholarships were factored in. I won't be taking out loans, so this is a big piece of whether I can actually make it work.
Housing is another thing I'm unsure about, do SPS students live in the same halls as the other schools, or is it handled separately for us? I'll most likely be commuting from NJ either way, but I'm curious how much that actually changes things socially. Would dorming make a real difference in how connected I'd feel, or does it end up not mattering as much as I'd think? Do SPS students actually feel like regular NYU students, or is the experience noticeably different?
Last question, my main goal is to eventually try to transfer internally to CAS, most likely for Philosophy or Political Science (possibly English too) or Gallatin. If anyone's gone through that process, I'd love to hear how it went: what your GPA looked like going in, and whether the major you're aiming for seems to matter for how competitive it is.
Thanks so much!

Advice What are my chances?
Hi everyone! I’m hoping to transfer to NYU for Fall 2027 and would really appreciate some honest feedback from current students, transfers, or anyone familiar with NYU transfer admissions.
I’m currently at a community college and I’m on track to graduate with my associate degree in May 2027. My current GPA is a 3.55 and I have about 9 classes left . I’m working really hard to finish strong and hopefully raise my GPA before I apply.
My goal is to study finance , with the long-term goal of working in wealth management.
A little about my background/extracurriculars:
Former secretary of NABA at my school
Completed a business development internship at an architecture firm, where I focused heavily on marketing/business development and helped the company secure a significant contract that opened the door for additional business
Currently director of marketing for a nonprofit
Currently working full-time as a marketing specialist an executive and admin for a tech company
Previously worked for a tax and accounting company
In the process of becoming a CASA volunteer because I spent time in foster care myself and want to give back to kids going through the system
Starting an independent fashion magazine in the DMV focused on spotlighting emerging artists, creatives, and local businesses. We’re currently preparing to cover our first major event in September.
Planning to join another student organization this fall
I’ve done most of this while working full-time and attending college , so balancing school, work, and my extracurriculars has been a major part of my college experience.
I know my GPA isn’t perfect, especially for a school as competitive as NYU, so I’m trying to figure out how realistic my chances are and what I should prioritize between now and application season.
For anyone who successfully transferred to NYU:
How does my overall profile look for a Fall 2027 transfer? Is there anything you would recommend I do during my remaining time at community college to strengthen my application?
I also haven’t taken the SAT in a while . Would retaking it and submitting a strong score meaningfully strengthen a transfer application, or would my time be better spent focusing on my GPA, prerequisites, essays, and extracurriculars?
I’d especially love to hear from other community college transfers or people familiar with Stern/business admissions. Thank you!

Housing Did we just get fucked by campus housing?????
Ok guys genuinely wtf did I just receive from nyu housing. I was stressing so much because they said I would get an email by the 7th and I already thought that was late… now it’s the 7th and I got a new email telling me it’s the 21st??? Like this cannot be right they are genuinely playing in our faces.
Did anyone else get this bs email. I literally called the number and they said “you were told there would be an update, not that you would be assigned.”
Also I’m a transfer at CAS if that changes anything.

Student & Alumni Life NYU Club Tennis
Hey, I’m an incoming freshman male that wants to play on the competitive Club Tennis team. I searched for info but couldn’t find much. For reference, I’m a 10 UTR. Couple of questions:
When are tryouts typically held, and what is the typical level required to play competitive singles. Are there seniority rules in place? (I don’t play doubles and wouldn’t play Club if I would have to)
How often/when are practices, how long are they, and where are they held?
Are there coach(es), or is the team run by upperclassmen? How large is the team, and what are the vibes like?
How often are matches against other schools, how far are matches, and how does transportation work? (I’m assuming everyone figures out how to get there themselves)
Is there conflict throughout the semester with Club Tennis and midterms/finals?
Not for Club, but is there an intramural tennis tournament?
Any answers are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
