ok guys. as i posted above:

Take more liberal arts courses. if you dont plan on staying at st johns for 4 years then get rid of the into to business courses.

i transferred while at stj last year and let me tell you, its a long tedious process.

you have to ask for recs from professors and hound them for them.

you have to get specific papers filled out from the people in charge of judicial records. and stj has alot of ppl that transfer to cunys bc they are cheaper so the school itself hates filling out those transfer papers.

also, it is extremely difficult to do your work for school and the essays for the colleges that you are also applying to. i applied to 6 so it was alot. i managed to keep a 3.97 gpa though in the 2 semesters i was there so its def possible.

Just before you get into the whole transfer process, think about it long and hard. Also it is expensive. all the app fee’s and mailing fees.

Lastly, i am not trying to discourage anyone from applying. i just know of plenty of people who went through this whole proces and were severely dissapointed in the end.

and…NYU’s financial aid is terrible. so unless you can afford to pay 30k a year out of pocket or through loans, dont bother applying. there are plenty of other schools out there
