<p>I have not transferred yet. If I get in, I will transfer next school year. I just wanted to show people the other side of the coin. Since I’m applying to schools that have high admission standards for both freshmen and transfers, there’s a very good chance I might just end up at NYU next year, in which case I’ll just try to graduate early.</p>
<p>I don’t think a lot of people have friends from high school at NYU unless you lived in the city. I knew some people who did, and they NEVER hung out with their high school friends. It’s just that you have to make most of your friends during orientation week and basically the first month of your freshman year, and after that everyone is going to be clique-y. </p>
<p>NYU wasn’t actually my target, I applied to Columbia ED and got deferred and then rejected. There were like 6 schools (out of 13 total) I would have rather gone to instead of NYU, and at the end it was UVA vs. NYU. I don’t remember ever being really stoked about going to NYU, so I might have been biased from the beginning. I suppose I applied most because of location and reputation. I didn’t quite realize what people mean by “NYU doesn’t have a community.” You won’t have as bad a time as I did, though, if you’re outgoing. I’m very introverted and that doesn’t work out well in Stern.</p>
<p>I think jackhammer25 is not a Sternie. Take that as you will.</p>
