Official NYU 2011 Transfer Thread

<p>We have 3 weeks to accept our decision right?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s correct. BTW, got the same FA package. Are you CAS?</p>

<p>Yeah haha, I’m CAS. ^^.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Missed your reply. Thanks for the information man, but I think I will be looking off-campus for housing. On-campus just doesn’t seem to offer much, except the opportunity to hang with classmates. Quality and price appear to be better in the free-market compared to the on-campus choices.</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, is that people’s reason for choosing on-campus housing? To have a more traditional college life?</p>

<p>I’m only dorming this year to get to know more people. It’s going to be pretty hard to settle in right away. I think this will ease things a little xD.</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, has anyone else not had transfer credits show up yet? I was accepted almost 2 weeks ago and I still have nothing…I might have to call them.</p>

<p>@mspivey I was accepted on the 17th I think, and my fall credits are there but my spring aren’t, neither are my AP scores. let me know if you call and find anything out!</p>

<p>Ugh gr! I wish they didn’t tell me about my acceptance so freaking late. I wanted to apply for housing, but my credits and financial aid info isn’t up, and I’m assuming their offices will be closed for memorial day, which just leaves the 31st, which would leave me only one day to apply for housing (the deadline is June 1st, right??). I have no clue what I should do, and I really do need to wait until I get my financial aid to see if I can even afford to apply for housing with them. Any ideas?</p>

<p>They actually might be open on Monday. I know for a fact that they were open on Good Friday, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they will be for Memorial Day, too. Try calling them.</p>

<p>I called NYU housing office and they told me they were going to give us more time since they sent out the decisions late.</p>

<hr>

<p>As for the available housing options, I made a little research and found this:</p>

<p>I think I’m going to look for off-campus housing, though I’m not entirely sure yet.</p>

<p>I’ve seen people mention The Towers quite a few times, so I will check them out too.</p>

<p>They won’t be open on Monday. Memorial Day is a national holiday.</p>

<p>I highly doubt they’ll be open tomorrow.
Also, the housing application is due June 1st?? I thought only the deposit was due…</p>

<p>“Housing Reservation Payment Deadline for new students is June 1, 2011.”
Isn’t the “Housing Reservation Payment” the $500 we paid when we accepted admission?</p>

<p>@Keachoy - idk if the app is due on June 1st, but I know the nonrefundable payment is due on the 1st. I can’t afford to pay 1000 bucks if I don’t know whether I’ll be able to pay the actual housing costs. Ugh I’m so confused. I was so sure I wouldn’t get in, that now that I have gotten in, I’m totally lost.</p>

<p>@kearyn - wow thanks for that! those are some really informative links. I think I just fell in love with Carlyle Court, but I’m sure I’m not the only one. I hope I can dorm :'(</p>

<p>i just sent in my deposit. do i have to wait for an email about housing in order to apply for housing? or is it somewhere on albert?</p>

<p>I’m freaking out. Why has MCC received no decisions & does anyone have any information about this? Because it seems like everyone is already talking about housing and I haven’t even gotten my decision…</p>

<p>@thegreatperhaps: I’m in the same boat except I applied for CAS. Waiting, waiting, waiting…</p>

<p>I also applied to MCC. Hope all these waiting are worthy.</p>

<p>@mspivey2 - Mine just showed up today, so I think they’re just REALLY behind with all of this stuff…</p>

<p>@morgv1234 - I was gonna ask if anyone had their spring credits missing - i think that they won’t accept them until they get the updated transcripts.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how many credits they accept when transferring? Like, the max number?</p>

<p>If I would like to double major in NYU…how to I go about that when applying?
The majors I am in are at two different schools…do I apply for two schools at once…is that possible?</p>

<p>Should I just apply to the one I know is easiest to get into and then worry about double majoring later?</p>

<p>@itzmagdaa - $1000!? What!? Where did that come from?</p>

<p>I called and they told me the housing deposit was the $500 that we immediately paid after we accepted. Can someone please clarify this for me?</p>

<p>I haven’t even received the packet with the housing information and all of that…</p>
