I was planning to attend NYU in fall 2010, but had to drop out at the last minute because of financial and family issues. They were really understanding about it, they even did all the paperwork for me. Now I’m applying to the school of nursing as a transfer for fall 2011, what do you think my chances are?

3.7 high school GPA
2180 SAT
Lots of honors/AP courses
ECs with 2 leadership positions
Lots of community service

3.65 college GPA (well-respected community college in CA)
Many GE requirements satisfied
I’ve written an essay explaining exactly the circumstances preventing me from going last year.

I really want to go, but I’m afraid withdrawing will hurt me a lot. What do you guys think?
