Official NYU Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

@Nursingskiing same lol ! I am from a small town in Texas. I need to escape lmao!!

@princesskitten haha. I hear ur pain :wink: well u should bring ur cowboy boots and I’ll bring mountain climbing gear :wink: that would bring enough diversity to the student body :)>- oh can I ask u something else? I actually have driven through TX once. We went to new Orleans tho. In TX We stopped only in Marfa, Austin and Houston. I really would like to see a real Texas rodeo some day. Where is like the best place to do that? And what time of the year?

dude wtf I had 30K need based grants in GW and only got loans in NYU… I’m afraid of getting SO indebted without even being an adult…

and I don’t wanna be annoying, but I actually don’t think they will release decisions today, it seems they are really big into Thursdays and Tuesdays lol

@joewimon id go to GW. 30k is a lot of money

yeah, and that was without counting the merit based scholarship… We are 3 in the household and only one works and stuff so idk I kind of took for granted I would get SOME federal grant or something, I don’t really know why the state considers my need has changed so much since last year, in any case it increased actually xd Taking a 150K debt is worrying, but i guess I’ll take it xd

@joewimon aid is so bad for transfers my dude but really REALLY sit down with your family and consider this. There are some ridiculous horror stories about debt from NYU.

for accepted students: where can you see the details of the financial aid package?

@joewimon mine doesn’t show anything yet! it just says award year 2016 NYU, no award access. But don’t expect to much though.

@baddiarydays i know aid is bad, but they know it’s impossible for me to pay that much money, it just sucks that i was so happy yesterday and now so disappointed, why would they offer me admission if they know i can’t afford it?

now news yet… anyone?

@joewimon The admissions counselors and the financial aid office don’t work together in making admissions decisions (I guess other than the are you applying for aid question). Capitalism homie, it’s a wreck.

@NYtransferv123 nothing

@NYtransferv123 Nope - guess it should on next Tuesday and Thursday

@joewimon that debt may be worth it - considering the pricelessness of the philosophising we hopefully shall engage in once we meet :slight_smile:

@baddiarydays my parents are the best guys ever and they are like “don’t worry, we’ll win the lottery or something!” (they count on some old relative dying and inheriting money or something)

@thegent you are totally right, it’s a really tough decision, I’m DYING to go to NYU… It’s gonna be 3 horrible weeks lol

Hey, guys. I just called an admission officer, and she said most of the decisions will be sent out by next week.

By the end of next week. Not by Monday.

lol I have my finals next week.
