<p>Hello,
I am finishing up my Associates at Middlesex County College in NJ. I was recently accepted into Rutgers Business School for the Fall 2012 semester. I was also just accepted into my school’s Phi Theta Kappa honor soceity. My advisor recommended I apply for NYU Steinhardt because they like County College graduates, as well as Phi Theta Kappans.</p>
<p>Any way here are my stats.
Current GPA is 3.59 with 30 Credits.
I started off College the same way as HS, getting by, not really studying. I never got lower than a B in any class. Since then I have been putting school first. B+ or A’s since then.</p>
<p>This semester I am taking 20 credits and anticipating getting all A’s which would put my GPA in the 3.75 range. This summer I will be taking 6 courses which hopefully will bump me up to at least a 3.8
As of 8/28/12 I will have my Associate’s degree from MCC in Liberal Arts:Business
I graduated HS in 2009. (grades were OK, don’t have them on me currently)</p>
<p>But would a 3.59-3.80 GPA be enough to get in?</p>
<p>Part of the reason I am applying even though I got into Rutgers is
- The NYU “Brand-Name”
- My advisor said that with the CCTOP I am eligible for $20,000 a year, Plus whatever my financial based needs are ( which FAFSA estimated to be $5,500) Plus PTK grants up to $2,500.</p>
<p>I understand some people may look down upon Steinhardt, but I intend to move on to Grad School after completion of my Undergrad, so I will have another degree/school when it comes to getting a job. Also, I am applying to Steinhardt for their CCTOP, which would pay for a big chunk of my NYU tuition. The cost may equal that of RBS or be close to it after scholarships are taken into account.</p>
<p>Thank You.</p>
