That’s not true, your major does matter. While for freshman admission to CAS and Stern, your major doesn’t matter, things are a little different when transferring. One of the things NYU considers is your reason for transferring, that is, why NYU and not your current school? The better the reason you have for transferring (e.g. maybe NYU has a unique department in what you’re interested in), the better your chance of getting in. Also, transfer admission is always based on the space they have available, so if your department is overcrowded, that may make it more difficult to get in since they simply don’t need more people.
