Of course :) And you can major in whatever and transfer to Gallatin. It doesn’t really matter what you were doing previously as long as you have an idea of what you want to do in Gallatin and why Gallatin would be the place for you (make sure the major isn’t offered in any other school first).
It depends on your idea for your concentration. From what I was told, you just have to have a good gpa (around a 3.5~) and a good/thought out plan for your concentration and there’s a good chance you’ll get in.
I really like Gallatin. It’s really your responsibility to find a balance of courses that work for your concentration and your requirements and to get the most out of them; it’s not 100% structured which is nice. Also the classes I’ve taken have been really great and the professors were amazing so I’m happy with my choice to transfer. Talk to me again right before my colloquium though.
You pay separately for housing depending on which residence hall you live in. Your meal plan is also a separate charge.
Sexton’s latest email is basically summarized by tl;dr
Here is the gist of it
I lived in Gramercy for a semester and that’s the only one I have experience living in. Gramercy’s nice and it has some great appliances/set-up but the bedroom’s are on the smaller side depending on what room you get. The corner rooms are in high-demand and are almost impossible to get unless you have the first slot in the lottery.
Palladium and UHall are both right down the street from each other and I spent a lot of time in UHall and had a lot of friends who have/do live in Palladium and love it. They’re both in a great location (as is Carlyle which is right on Union Sq. and Coral which is just a block over on 3rd) and having dining halls as well as the gym which is in Palladium. The studio (I think it’s called a studio) in Carlyle is pretty nice space-wise with a kitchen, common space, two beds, and a bathroom in a not cramped room. A friend had one last semester and I was really impressed with it.
I think that’s about it. :)
It feels like summer in NYC today! One of my favorite places in NYC during late spring is the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. And it’s only $5 for students! - Brandon, OL
:)! Congrats on your acceptance! I feel like for every school you’re going to find horror stories and the people saying NEVER GO THERE but those who actually like it don’t really come out and say so, so I figured I’d be honest in that regard anyway.
As for your question, yup! NYU can get into certain museums for free and others under a reduced student pricing with their NYU ID. You can also get discounted movie, theater, and sporting even tickets at Ticket Central with your ID.
The restrictions of the Journalism major+the LSP restrictions. I would have had to double major as a Journalism major in CAS and wouldn’t have any freedom to take classes that just interested me. I also didn’t like Sociology (my intended other major) and I found that photography+journalism would work, and it’s what I really love to do, so I went that way and it’s worked out thus far (just talk to me after my colloquium).
Usually that means it’s just not up yet, so I wouldn’t worry too much! Now, if it starts getting later/closer to when the first bill is due and it still says that, then I’d call Financial Aid and see what’s going on. But as of right now, you’re good.
Also thank you, much appreciated :)
From my experience it depends on which one you pick first but most of the people I know got into their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice.
I apologize for the sudden spam of answers after that long drought, finals are particularly being a bitch this semester and I’m just about at my limit. Once Monday is over though, I’ll be good to go and back here full-time.
Until then, bear with me and to all of you who are feeling the finals wrath, we’ll get through this together.
Hey there!
Yes, okay. Well I started interning my in the fall of my junior year at SPIKE TV and then this semester at the Village Voice and I have friends who’ve interned at other places under Viacom (MTV/VH1/etc.), some of the branches of Conde Nast (Allure, Teen Vogue), and some under Hearst (Marie Claire, Harper’s Bazaar, Seventeen). I also know people who’ve written for almost any other small magazine/publication there is as well as for NBC/MSNBC. As you can see, there are a lot of options. I even got a freelance job through the Journalism department. If you’re on the listserv (mailing list basically), then you’ll get internship/job postings sporadically and they’ll have all of the information in them. Also the bulletin board in the Journalism building is almost always full of postings for opportunities for internships.
Since I transferred out of CAS, I’ve only taken a few other Journalism courses so my dealings with the department are pretty minimal but I don’t believe it’s really that competitive, I could be wrong though. I mean, once you get past Investigating Journalism (or whatever the 101 class is called) aka the “weeding out class,” then the students are usually more focused on ~Journalism~, but that’s about all I can say.
If you come out as a Journalism major with experience (i.e. clips and internships with recommendations and the like) then you’ll have a good foundation to base work off of, but you’re going to have to really get into internships and volunteering early. Writing for NYU Local or WSN are great places to start since they’re NYU-based. Just build your portfolio and maybe work on a long-term project (Senior Projects are a great thing to look into…) if that’s possible and you can set yourself up to do well. I know that kind of skirted the question, but it really depends on how much work you’ve put in over the time spent in college as for how you’ll do once you leave.
That’s actually a really great question and I really can’t say as to a yes or no, 100%. I’m sure yes, plus sized girls can get into Tisch for theatre, but I can’t really give a definite answer as I don’t really know the department. This sounds absolutely terrible as an answer (I really apologize) and I wouldn’t really worry too much about that and focus more on nailing your audition because that’s going to be the real deciding factor! And if you really want it, go for it as hard as you can and that’s really all you can do. Also just make sure you don’t hurt yourself to lose weight just for this reason, just be healthy!
Editing to add Ana and Jessa’s responses because they’re great and mine was not:
urbanvagina said: To anon: Plus sized girls can definitely get into Tisch. I’m in musical theatre and I’m a size twelve in pants. There are girls and guys of all different shapes and sizes, sweetheart. Just bring your confidence and fierceness. Own who you are.

No, you have to wait until your second semester of consecutive full-time study, so in the spring semester you can.
Also, you usually spend most of your first semester doing basic requirements so you won’t be missing much!
