Official NYU 2011 Transfer Thread

<p>Come again? I have no knowledge as to what my credits were - I was only notified today via my father…he would have the letter.</p>

<p>Haha no on your Albert does it have your transfer credits listed? No worries brother.</p>

<p>Ahh, I’m once again out of the loop ahah. It does not.</p>

<p>On another note, did I read correctly that the acceptance rate for CAS is 10-15% for transfers? Shoot, that’s a lot more competitive than I thought.</p>

<p>@durkadurka123 –> I’ve never heard anything about each school’s acceptance rate, only the overall rate of about 33%</p>

<p>my transfer credits just showed up on albert…i hope this means good new…so nervous haha</p>

<p>@alexxxx</p>

<p>Which school did you apply to?</p>

<p>cas for psychology</p>

<p>From the CAS website - “Competition for transfer admission is significant. Our admit rate for transfer applicants is typically between 10 and 15%.”</p>

<p>However, I think it’s just 15% who actually go to NYU, as it says ADMIT rate, not acceptance rate.</p>

<p>@alexxxx</p>

<p>Oh okay. Is CAS the only school that’s being so quick with decisions? </p>

<p>Come on, Stern!</p>

<p>@giantmidget</p>

<p>Good call, though I do know that CAS is indeed the toughest of the schools to get into (as a transfer.) Good luck to you.</p>

<p>that just makes me more nervous ha</p>

<p>@durkadurka </p>

<p>Is it? I thought that Stern was the toughest.</p>

<p>@giantmidget @durkadurka</p>

<p>I definitely think Stern & Tisch are much harder to transfer into than CAS. Particularly Stern, they have very strict rules.
However, CAS has the majority of the non-niche majors. If you’re going into business=Stern & arts = Tisch. Yes, there are a few other schools but the majority of the other majors fall into CAS. So, in that sense more people apply to one school for a huge pool of majors.
Still, business is a widely popular field to go into and Stern is one of the best in the nation, it is highly competitive.</p>

<p>Hahaha yea definitely stern is the toughest but I think durka meant other schools that are not impossible to get into :p</p>

<p>@giantmidget</p>

<p>I believe Stern is the toughest to get into for undergraduate admissions, with CAS being harder for transfers. I could be mistaken, though.</p>

<p>@ahagirl1012, yes. I’m glad someone can effectively say what I mean haha.</p>

<p>Congrats durka. </p>

<p>See, it’s weird, because my stats are pretty comparable to yours, so that gives me hope. But when the person before posted having a 4.0 after 3 semesters (with the same HS gpa as durka), it was depressing. </p>

<p>So weird.</p>

<p>@coolio - Thanks, I wasn’t expecting it at all. That being said, I got waitlisted by a school which is arguably less prestigious than NYU…it’s a crapshoot. Best of luck.</p>

<p>I just checked Albert and everything is checked off, no transfer credits recorded though. I’m a little terrified.</p>

<p>Oh NYU, </p>

<p>If you could just hurry up and make your decision about my acceptance, I would be so happy. If you accept me, I’ll be so thrilled that I’ll pay my tuition and everything! :wink: So, please, please accept me soon… Or at least let me down sooner rather than later.</p>

<p>Thank you. </p>

<p>XO,</p>
