<p>I’m applying to Stern as a transfer student, and I was researching NYU’s study abroad program and I found that it’s open to non-NYU students as well.</p>
<p>I would like to enroll in the program, but can I apply to both the study abroad program and to stern as a transfer student at the same time.</p>
<p>Yes. The study-abroad program is not contingent on your acceptance in any school here. As a matter of fact, participating in the one may help your chances in the other, because you’ll already have spent a semester completing the curriculum. If you’re going to a location that offers a number of Stern courses (i.e. London or Shanghai offer the most), you may run into trouble where the classes require prerequisites and they may not accept the work you’ve completed at your home university as a prereq. However, if you can get into the program and you can get into Stern classes, that ought to be a convincing factor for your transfer app.</p>
<p>Hey I was wondering what chances I have og getting to nyu from cuny queens
My HS grade was= 83
SAT=1080
College GPA= 3.7</p>
<p>Low. Quite low. That seems like a fairly average (at best) cumulative high school grade, your SAT is far below NYU’s average, and while your college GPA is great, you may not have all the necessary components of the application to get you accepted.</p>
<p>@hellodocks - You mention that it would be beneficial to my Stern application but would that not only be the case if studied abroad first and then applied?</p>
<p>The dilemma that I’m currently experiencing is that since Study Abroad programs are relatively easy to get accepted to (or so I’ve heard), with my GPA of 3.7 at the University of Miami which is a top 50 business school, I feel that I will almost certainly get accepted. However, Stern is obviously much harder to get into. Suppose that I get accepted in Study Abroad, the deposit is due by March 15. Then I also get accepted in Stern, I will only find out by end of May, June? Would I be unable to go on study abroad, or will I just start at the New York campus from Fall 2012?</p>
<p>These are questions an academic advisor in the Undergraduate Office of Advising at Stern would be better prepared to answer, but I’ll give it a shot.</p>
<p>If you got into NYU studyabroad, any classes you take through that program will count toward your NYU degree IF you successfully transfer. If you get into studyabroad and commit financially, you’d be in no worse a position if you found out you got into Stern. You would still be able to go abroad, but NYU would be accepting you to begin as an NYU student in Fall 2012. However, they’d be evaluating the coursework you completed as a UMiami student to see what they would accept in terms of credits, and on that transcript they would see your semester full of NYU classes. I can’t speak for the UMiami classes, but they would definitely take the classes from their own university.</p>
<p>Does that make more sense?</p>
<p>Yeap, understood. Thank you.</p>
<p>By the way, just how hard it is to get into study abroad? I have a GPA of 3.7, stellar recommendation letter and my essay will be pretty decent since I’m going to get the help of the writing center at UM. (I told my girlfriend who’s in London that I’ll be coming there in the fall. Didn’t mention the formality of getting accepted though, so I’ll be puuurdy embarrassed if I don’t get in.</p>
<p>No clue how competitive it is for non-NYU students. I know that here it’s more a process of failing to get rejected than it is to get accepted. What they’ll do is compare your major, GPA, and course history to make sure you aren’t an academic failure barely scraping by, that you aren’t a Slavic Studies major trying to go to Ghana, and that you won’t be screwing up your ability to graduate on time by taking the semester abroad. All those failing, you can go. That’s all I know about the process for us.</p>
<p>London and Paris are the two most competitive sites though, so you may be adding to your already somewhat long-shot since you’re non-NYU + selecting the hardest site to get into.</p>
