@NYtransferv123 What school and major are you applying to?
`@Cannova93 NYU and my major is Journalism
@Cannova93 NYU and major is Journalism
@NYtransferv123 Yes, but which school within NYU are you planning to apply to? I’ m just going to guess its CAS. If that’s the case, then yes I would say your in the ballpark. From what I’ve seen in recent posts and forums, it’s that NYU takes a holistic approach when viewing their applicants. What that means is someone with a 3.9 may get rejected and someone with a 3.2 is accepted. I guess it comes down to how they view you in their school and the major.
@Cannova93 Okay. I hope I can get in NYU. Thank you so much for your help!

In CCTOP we trust
Does NYU care about our ECs even though we are in CC? But I know that they don’t really care about our HS GPA after a year of CC, what I heard from CCTOP
@movingon222 They have to care since they look at applications holistically.

Still waiting for the decision anxiously, chances?
@Jpg123 Looking really really good! The average admitted GPA of a transfer for the CAS is a 3.5, so I’d say you’ve got a very good chance. I personally was admitted with a GPA of 3.76, so I’m pretty confident that you’ll get in too! c:
@baoz0408 Thank you for your help! I hope can get in NYU…
another stern transfer applicant here hoping to be an incoming junior.Best of luck to everyone. Anyone have ideas on what incoming junior acceptance rates might be like?
@movingon222 I feel like a lot of schools say they have a “holistic” view when looking at applications but GPA usually is one of the main factors. BUT if you have ECs related to your major it really strengthens your application. Also on the NYU CAS website it says, “Candidates are accepted on the basis of predicted success in the specific programs in which they are interested.” So I would imagine if you participate in acitivities that don’t necessarily pad your GPA but are related to your major it would make your application look more impressive.
@NYtransferv123 I was a journalism major for forever!!! I switched to English like a month before I began writing transfer applications. Did you see Time’s 10 worst jobs of 2015 article and there were three journalism related ones? 
I am teasing, but good luck with your major! Do you know what path you want to persue within the field?
I am applying to Stern.
Can’t wait to know if I am in.
Anyone knows what is the transfer rate for Stern?
Does anyone know whats the average GPA of applicants who got accepted into Steinhardt?
I’m applying to stern as well
I applied last year too, and if I remember correctly, they released the decisions for stern during the second week of May on a Thursday. Hopefully it’s sooner this time around.
Does anyone know historically when CAS applicants receive their decisions? The admissions counselor I talked to said a few weeks but what did he REALLY mean? ;))
A few lucky acceptances have already trickled out out but they haven’t released a significant amount yet that I know of. Maybe tomorrow!
