Official NYU 2012 Transfer Thread

[RiedyZac000]

do we have to send in a mid year report from our current schools? or is the first transcript enough?

[giantmidget]

You don't have to.

In the CAS information page they say that their acceptance rate is somewhere around 10-15% and that competitive applicants would have a 3.7 GPA, but I guess that all freshmen transferring, that includes me, should have something higher if their high school record was not that great.

I'm worried that my first quarter GPA will be my downfall. As a senior in high school, I would have had a very good chance at getting into the school, but my first quarter in college I only have a 3.4 GPA. Hopefully they put more emphasis on my high school record. I really regret not doing more research on potential schools in high school.

your ECs make you a better fit for Steindhart, but that is just my opinion, it is not that they are bad... they are just not mmm Gallatin oriented if you know what I mean

What's up guys?

I submitted my common app not long ago and I just got my netID and everything. In the email they say that all communications will be done online, including the decision notification just in case someone wondered if it was going to be mailed.

regonkantai, you are a Math major right? You seem to be in good shape as to what your college profile would be. Ec's could be a weakness since NYU says their approach to the applications is very holistic; you also did not post your high school stats although being a junior transfer I do not think they will matter that much
