A Hopeful Chance?

Hi, NYU transfer here.

Your major will have a big impact. We don’t have a “pre-med” major, and both of your majors (biochemistry and politics) are very competitive for transfer students.

That being said, you have terrific “stats” and you have a great chance for CAS.

The only thing I would advise you about is that NYU is very stingy with financial aid for transfer students, and if you are pre-med, I would rethink NYU unless you’re prepared to pay in full. I’ve never thought NYU was worth it for pre-med students, and neither do my parents, who are both doctors. One of whom works for NYU School of Medicine.

But anyway, I would be VERY surprised if CAS rejected you.
