iacmynad:

I sorta have to agree with nyu44--I doubt many admissions personnel will really appreciate the "ankle" excuse, despite how accurate it may or may not be. A really, really strong essay, accompanied by stellar grades--we're talking a 4.0--in the fall, might equal success, but a 3.2 GPA is hard to ignore. Also, stronger extracurriculars would help--have you started any clubs/organizations? Have you played professionally?

Generally, even an excuse like the death of a family member would be hard to validate that sorta performance; and, since there are many, many international students in American university's that excell, it is also hard to make the argument that it was a "change" thing (plus, a great deal of American students go out of state--if you are moving from the north to the south, for instance, that is arguably a continental change. No offense to southern students.). Pushing that excuse may seem a bit desperate--I probably wouldn't focus on it too much. Mention it, certainly, but don't dwell on it.

Are there any other schools you might be leaning towards?

Hello
i am interested in possibly transferring to NYU. I will be going to a community college for one year and was wondering what classes or what kind of classes I should take. I hope to transfer as a sophomore, and i am taking classes that meet the USC transfer requirements. Is there any difference in the classes i should take if i wish to transfer to NYU? Thank You.

Does anybody who transferred into Stern live or work in the city? The reason I ask is because I work right in midtown-I've been meeting and keeping in touch with people who go to NYU all summer, and I'd love to talk to somebody who successfully transferred about the whole process as I'll be applying for Fall 09'.

When do we find out about housing?

Go to your nyuhome and go into academics and sign in. On the right hand side, you can check your bills. Check out what they have billed you for and your dorm will be listed there if you have been assigned already. (I got Lafayette)

When we go to the bill, it has deducted the housing cost. When I called, they said it looked like Gramercy Green but they won't confirm anything! Very frustrating!

Wow! You are lucky because that is a really nice dorm.

travellinghopefully

Well its great if it really happens! But it STILL isnt showing up on the bill!

How did you change it? I tried to change it but they wouldn't let me.

"iacmynad-If you get rejected for spring 2009, you have to wait a full year until you can apply again."

Are you sure about that? I've been looking for it on the website everywhere, but can't find anything.

nyu44

I called and ask about it because I apply for fall 2008 and got rejected so I ask them if i could apply for spring and they told me i had to wait a full year to re apply.

Olives

Hmm. That's kind of dissapointing. Are you sure that's for each school though?

rhapsody in blue

has anybody heard of a limit for number of times applied? i was told that after 2 applications, the school won't look at any further attempts at gaining admissions.

i've applied both from HS and after freshman year in college, and made it neither time, so i want to try one last time for next fall. i really hope that there isn't any such policy, or i'm afraid i'll have to dream of somewhere else to go.
