I submitted 1 hour before the deadline
Today is almost over, I’m guessing I need to wait a little longer then. Anyone else got their decisions today?
Nothing. It kinda seems like decisions are sent out in the morning only?
@nyu15transfer Congratulations!! Do you mind sharing your stats w/ us?
Yep, sure.
Current college: Top 50 State School

SAT: 2200
HS GPA: probably around 3.5ish
HS ranking: N/A
College GPA: 3.65

@nyu15transfer can u tell us your ECs?
Okay about housing… the $1000 guaranteed housing reservation is due tomorrow but I haven’t gotten a decision and I know I won’t get one by tomorrow. Am I supposed to pay this and just hope I get accepted??? I know in the past people have had trouble with housing so being guaranteed a spot on campus would be nice?? Why is the deadline date so early?
@princesskitten That is for freshmen. There’s no such thing as guaranteed housing for transfers; you’ll have to apply once you get accepted and see if there’s space available.
@vulnicura http://www. nyu.edu/life/living-at-nyu/on-campus-living/housing-lottery-and-applications/applicants.html okay so I misunderstood this? I would feel better that I was never guaranteed housing than knowing I could have gotten housing but missed the deadline LOL.
I’ve been looking at this thread for a while but finally decided to actually get a CC account so I thought I’d post something. I got accepted to CAS 3 weeks ago, and I think I sent in my app March 27th? Maybe?
Anyway, stats:
Current College: Purdue University
Current Major: Animal Sciences, Pre-Vet
Applying to: CAS, Gender & Sexuality Studies
Current GPA: 4.0
ACT: 35
HS GPA: 4.31
HS Rank: 7/644
ECs: Student Gov, dance team (both HS), zoological society, volunteer at local zoo (both college)
Also I was wondering, does anyone know who we have to tell (at our current university) that we’re transferring? My semester ends in a week and I can’t find anything about who to tell. Thanks!
Finally found the thread. Is anybody having problem with their Albert checklist? I recently got an email from admissions office asking for my College final report but in my Albert it says I have to submit my High school Final transcript (which I did month ago).
My ECs were student government (2 committees), an internship, starting a small, handmade apparel line, an environmental club, and some other things. I have several board positions also. I think my ECs balanced out my lower GPA.
@princesskitten I see. That’s weird - they say they don’t guarantee housing for transfers in their Transfer page, with no mention of the page you mentioned. Most people will not have been offered admission by then, and it’d be weird for them to expect even those accepted today to make their decision so soon. Seems like a mistake, best is probably to contact them
@nicoleealexaa don’t you have a counselor or advisor whom you can speak with?
@Nomads77 if it’s worth anything, my application status still has my transcripts unchecked. i didn’t want to annoy them but it’s going to be five weeks next week so I’ll have to mail them
@vulnicura, oh. Thanks for the information. Actually It’s in their office, I guess that is what the guy from the admissions office said. Did you submit your college Final report ?
@Nomads77 do you mean the College Report (found in the common app) or final transcripts? I don’t have the former as a listed requirement on the checklist, for some reason, but I did send it (I sent all transcripts as well)
@vulnicura ya, I meant College Report. Do you know the typical financial aid given to a transfer student in NYU?
@Nomads77 I don’t, and I don’t think anyone here does. All I’ve read is that they’re not very generous at all, and that they are very heavy on loans. However I think the whole system is a crapshoot, so you just have to hope to be lucky. I’m international so I couldn’t even apply for aid btw
@vulnicura ok then all the best and I’m also hoping for the best.
@princesskitten i called them yesterday ask abou the deposit, they said that deadline was only for freshmen, not for transfers. On their web site they say housing is guaranteed…
