Transfer from Pace university to NYU

jjatt · 04-15-2009, 06:16 PM

I was excepted in Pace university for this fall. I have always had a dream of going to columbia but my high school grades are not that good. So i decided to not apply neither to NYU or Columbia this fall as i was sure i wasnt gettign acceted and i didnt want to have a rejection history in these universitys. I was thinking of maybe applying for transfer after 1 year in pace, and i wouldlike to know what i would need to have a good chance, relating to my GPA and SAT scores.

The highest GPA possible and the highest SAT possible (if they actually still look at it for a transfer) There is no cut off score for Columbia and NYU. You just have to have the best of the best grades and make your application shine. Thats how they will select you. End of discussion.

Keep dreaming. I think you've reached your potential at Pace.

Huh? I don't get it. My father is proficient in the English language. He also attended good colleges.

uhh, the tone of some users here is profoundly disturbing. We all know that when people make online threads they dont pay as much attention to spelling and grammar as they would in real life .So why do we have to be mean to people for little things?

And Columbia2002, I asked you this before but never got an answer. Yes, you were accepted to a college that is more selective than this Pace University. So tell us what were you able to accomplish in your life with your Columbia education besides 3,997 postings on this forum?

"I'll take a stab at it.

He's been out of school for seven years, approaching his 30s, still lives at home with mom and pop, and spends his Saturday nights playing Halo and being a BA on a college forum. I think his business card reads "Internet Tough Guy" or something of the sort. Prospies, not all Columbia alums are like this tool! It's actually a great university and the chance of you turning into a fat, unmarried, passionless, and unproductive individual like Columbia2002 is actually very very small."

This is extremely unnecessary especially considering the fact that you don't even know him in person.

Columbia2002, I'm pretty sure someone like you would know better than to use that kind of source to back up your claim. Many of the acceptance rates on that list are skewed thus they are not that credible.

You're getting lost in the trees and missing the forest. The point is that Pace University is not a selective university -- whether it lets in 89% or 95% of its applicants. On that basis, the OP's bragging that "so guess what, i still got into college in your country" doesn't carry much weight.

And you're not going to get an answer this time. I don't have to justify myself to you.
