<p>The difference between Stern and CAS is not large. Remember, the difference in acceptance rates to the two schools is insignificant. (Something like 23% and 25%). CAS has so many applicants (it’s the most applied to college at NYU, which gets more applications than any other private school in the country). CAS gets to be almost as selective as Stern. The difference between the two is not as great as people seem to think.</p>
