Official NYU Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

got it! @princesskitten i also am starting to worry haha. but i know that i can’t afford nyu anyways so im not looking into this all that much

@mk0293 sure!
HS GPA was crap because of my “troubled teen” years
Current College GPA: 3.357 (also low! However, I have an intense increasing grade trend shown on my transcript)
I’m at a Californian community college currently.
Extracarriculars include volunteering as a crisis counsellor with a suicide hotline and art therapy assistant working with drug rehabilitation programs for over a year, dance for 7 years, working as an account analyst for two years, and doing behavior therapy since the beginning of this year.
Recommendations from two of my professors (which I didn’t read so I have no clue what they wrote).

All of which made me a moderate candidate, but I went super bold (borderline over the top) on one of my essays, which is what I think may have brought it all home.

the days are getting longer :S

i am not trying to be negative but I really think i should start think about the chance to get in. i cant just make a deposit and withdraw it later; it is $800 :frowning:

@likael me 2. it sucks that nyu is taking so long :S
I can’t commit to other schools because of a small hope of getting accepted by NYU
It’s getting frustrating

I think the number of people who put down a deposit is more important than the number of acceptances bc they only have three weeks to make a decision so their spot is only held for three weeks and then lost if a deposit isn’t placed

I just want to know how they pick what applications to read on what day

@chasingdream22 i know. kinda lose hope, hopefully result come out next week

Tuesday 12th might be our lucky day

I’m freaking out, already rejected from 3 schools (really selective schools though). What do you think are my chances guys? My Stats are:
College GPA: 3.93 (a B on a lab thats not even needed in my major!!!)
Major: Physics/Math
Freshmen from Texas Tech University
High School GPA: 101 weighted
Achievements: IB diploma awardee, Gates Millennium Scholar, Various music ensemble awards, Questbridge Finalist.
Extra Curricular:High school orchestra concertmaster, helped in a local youth symphony, was a recording musician in a local folkloric ensemble, some volunteering here and there.
SAT: 1800ish ACT: 29
Essays:
Transfer Essay: It was Ok, talked about my situation in high school with my dad’s unemployment.
NYU Essay: Winged it

I’m afraid my SAT score might end up being a deal breaker.

im so sorry! which other schools did you apply to? @adolfoholguin44

so nervous

@likael same!! there is just a very small part of me that is hopeful. Maybe we hear some good news this tuesday :slight_smile: but i kind of lost hope :frowning:

“Due to required system maintenance, Albert will be unavailable from Friday, May 8th at 5:00pm until Saturday, May 9th at 11:59pm ET. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”
Albert is DOWN !

@Nomads77 lmao I KNOW! It’s like I know nothing is going to happen on the weekend much less acceptance emails will be sent but I still obsessively check albert anyway and now I can’t even do that :frowning:
Maybe it’s down because the frequency of me checking it broke the system lol

The housing portal is still open for anyone who needs to satisfy their nyu login addiction

@baddiarydays Oh how I love that familiar “non-renewable undergraduate,” it’s growing on me. Kind of like a parasite.

@princesskitten I think non renewable undergraduate and I are becoming friends

@princesskitten, you can try this “https://shibboleth.nyu.edu/idp/Authn/UserPassword”.
If you go to preferences, which is top right. I think you can see your NYU Id, NYU email and all. I still don’t have NYU email up till now and I’m losing hope from NYU.

Any film production acceptances?
