| from a successful transfer to NYU
I transferred to NYU from CUNY for the spring semester 2008.
While this thread is dated a few weeks ago, I figured I would respond to the benefit of other transfers.
I am a Media, Culture and Communications major in Steinhardt School of Culture, Ed. and Human Development with a double major in Politics in CAS.
I am also the secretary of the Transfer Student Association and a Welcome Week Leader.
Stern is very, very difficult to transfer into. Even current NYU students have a difficult time.
I applied with a 3.46 GPA, extracurricular activities and two internships.
I completed my MAP requirements here at NYU and concentrated on classes at CUNY that would bring up my GPA. I did not take math or foreign language at CUNY. They don't expect you to have finished your liberal arts requirements at the other school. I was actually a politics major in CUNY and I applied to NYU under the media major because I figured there would be less competition.
For comparison, I was rejected ED in 2006 with a 93 gpa, AP classes, and a ton of extracurriculars. My SATs were 690v 550m. I took two SAT IIs but I don't remember the grades.
From talking to other transfers, I've found that most people who applied to CAS had much higher GPAs. My roommate/best friend here applied to CAS Politics and had a 3.7 from Drew University.
I can answer any other questions if people are still reading this thread. . .
