<p>Does anyone know if we are offered a place to stay during orientation? Can we move in to the dorms during orientation or do we have to wait until the 27th?</p>
<p>I imagine we’d get dorms before orientation. Also, does anybody know if we can still get housing if we don’t accept the admission offer soon? I’m still waiting on another college and I’m worried that I won’t get any housing if I do end up choosing NYU.</p>
<p>For me housing application was due on Friday December 14th. I’m not sure if the deadline changes based on when you were accepted…</p>
<p>So I decided to accept the admissions offer. I’ve wanted this for too long to let go of it when I finally got it.</p>
<p>Does anybody know that whether we can choose the room type ( I mean private bedroom or something like that) during the online housing application? I didn’t notice the option…</p>
<p>Do we send final transcripts to the admissions office?</p>
<p>Could letters of recommendation be mailed in after the deadline? & I apologize if this is the wrong thread for this question.</p>
<p>Hey Joe,
I hope you are doing well at NYU. Can you tell me your GPA and EA’s you did before getting accepted into NYU Stern?
I know my chances are slim, but still wanted to try for the Fall 2013 from CUNY to NYU Stern. My GPA is 3.965, will have 76 credits after finishing Spring semester.
I founded an Economics club and I am currently a president of that club. I am also a member of 3 other clubs. Was hired as a tutor of Econometrics by tutoring center of our college. My problem is that I had to get my GED here, because I immigrated from overseas to NY at a very young age without my parents. So I couldn’t finish the high school.
Do you think GED will play a role?
Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Have you guys found out your dorms or gotten anything from the bursar?</p>
<p>I just found out about my dorm assignment, ill be living at 3rd north, anyone else?</p>

<p>Hey man. What is your name? I had a 3.75 when I transferred to Stern from Rutgers. I think you are fine. What is most important when transferring is definitely GPA. Stern claims to have a “holistic” approach to admissions, but honestly it is really all about GPA, which can be a make or break. I think if you have a 3.8+ you are in the “safe” zone, nothing is guaranteed of course but if you have a 3.8 or better you have a solid shot. I got in with a 3.75, but this is more on the low end, most of my transfer friends here had at least a 3.8.</p>
<p>I was involved in Ascend business club (no position), and Intervarsity Christian Fellowship (small group leader). Honestly I don’t think Stern cares too much about the extracurrics, as long as you put down SOMETHING you are fine. Same with the work experience, Stern does not care too much about where you worked or what you did as long as you put SOMETHING down. </p>
<p>Not sure about the GED. I don’t think you should have an issue, I would call Stern Admissions first though to discuss your situation. About half of my transfer class was international (roughly 50-60 Stern junior transfers - including both internal and external transfers, and about half of that was international). Your college GPA is solid so I would definitely apply. I think that since you are a junior, Stern will put more of an emphasis on your college GPA rather than your high school GPA. If you were coming in as a sophomore, Stern may put more emphasis on both your high school GPA and college GPA. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.</p>
<p>Hello Im currently a 3rd year bio major in college wanting to transfer to NYU next 2013 fall or 2014 spring. This will be my second attempt at transferring as I already transferred once from a different school. I had a 2.5 GPA with 30 credits from my previous college that I attended and right now I have cumulative gpa of 3.2 with 49 credits. I got all A’s last semester and If I get all A’s this semester my gpa will go up to 3.37 and I also have two professors from my physiology and O chem class who will write recommendation letters. I have helped with some community service and joined several clubs in my school.</p>
<p>First question:
I’ve decided to change my major to english. I know NYU is a very competitive school but what are my odds of going into the english program? Am I at a disadvantage due to my high credit attempts? I will probably have around 93 credits when I apply to NYU but I don’t mind that since I am going to change my major anyways.</p>
<p>2nd question:
Does NYU only calculate the GPA from my current school or do they get the cumulative average from all of the schools I have attended.</p>
<p>3rd question:
I’m not sure but will it be beneficial to just graduate at my current school as a bio major and go for a post-grad program in english? I though about it but I highly doubt that it’s a good idea to go to grad-school for english when I only took basic english classes as an undergrad.</p>
<p>P.S- Could someone also recommend me some safety schools with good english programs? I am looking for schools that are in New york. Thank you</p>
<p>why there is no Fall Transfer Thread???</p>
<p>Hey all! My stats are below. Let me know what you think my chances are for being accepted as a spring transfer. My current university, University of Denver, doesn’t offer a degree in Middle Eastern Studies or Arabic.</p>

ACT: 27 (not great, I know)
Current GPA: 3.85/4.0 (on a A, B, C scale–not A, A-, etc)

EC: Student editor for undergrad research publication at DU, various clubs, volunteer at refugee center, internship at the Embassy of Jordan, etc</p>
<p>I’ve taken a pretty strong workload too.</p>
<p>Let me know what you all think. Thanks…and goodluck to everyone!</p>
<p>Hey everyone, I applied for a spring transfer to NYU and I had a quick question. Are admissions decisions released on a certain day of the week (ex. tuesdays and thursdays) over the next month, or are they released throughout the week on a rolling basis? I just want to know whether I should be anxious on one or two days of the week or all seven of them…thanks!</p>
