@thegent I had mine last week, even had the interview in the middle of it, I lost like 4 pounds that week because of the stress hahahahah
@joewimon Your parents are so cute aw I heard something about Google starting to recruit philosophy/anthro majors just really consider it though because it would be just awful enrolling and loving it there and having to leave for money issues
You think sending your final grades would expedite your decision bc it would bring attention to your application? Or should I just wait until they ask me to send them?
@Nursingskiing I feel so sorry you had to drive through Houston LOL the weather there is terrible. Fort Worth is where all the famous rodeo stuff is, it’s where the Stockyards are and they still trade cattle there today! Fort Worth is near Dallas.
meawhile, in Coventry a.k.a 1 hour away from London (a place that no one has ever heard of) lol.
@joewimon you could try finding work in nyc to pay off that debt
@thegent I have my finals next week, too!
@princesskitten if they aren’t worse than the midterm report, I would say it makes a lot of sense sending them, plus they asked to do so in the famous post, right?
im not sending my final grades unless they ask for it
@hfeiruwnhwg http://admissionsblog.nyu.edu/2015/05/06/an-update-about-our-wait-list-transfer-admission/ look at the last paragraph, it says “We may hold some decisions until later in May in the event we need and are able to review spring semester grades. As a result, you should make arrangements to send your spring semester grades as they become available.”
Any Tisch Drama people hear anything?
@joewimon i looked at last yrs transfer thread on cc and nyu said the same thing about spring grades crap

@dwarnock95 Don’t worry about the spring grades! Just called the admission office and they said the only reason that we haven’t got a decision is that the committee hasn’t made it to review all of our materials. Besides, next week will be the last wave! Good luck to both of us!!!"
ill only send em my spring grades if they email me specifically for them
Hi, my other four schools (Harvard, Stanford, UPenn and Columbia) turned me down, and I am really nervous about my chances for Stern. Im transferring from Peru, so its a big deal and I decided to not apply to any safety, which is sort of a pain in the ass now, as I am in midterms, and I can barely think straight. So anyway, what do you think about my chances:
GPA (after two semesters, we start in january): 15.7/20, keep in mind this is definitely top 15th percentile, school in peru is really challenging.
Total Credits finished: 40
SAT: 2270 (800 cr, 740 math, 730 writing)
Major: Finance
EC:
Member of Kondortech, a robotics team, 5 times national champions, representing Peru in 5 competitions in Denmark, St. Louis (twice), Atlanta, and the Philippines, winning awards in three of those occasions, and then junior coach for two “seasons”
Member of the peruvian national debate team, participating in the 2013 panamerican debate competition in Bermudas
Current consultant for a local startup that sells books at low prices at underdeveloped areas
Former president of my schools chapter of bridges, an organization that attempts to help underdeveloped communities by building community kitchens and nursery schools
@iLTWK1 look at the link above, they said it is highly improbable that they admit any new candidatea for stern… Mucha suerte anyway!
I wonder why it takes so long for some people to get their decisions and others not so long.
I assumed that it meant incoming freshmen, but oh well, you win some you lose some
I dont wanna send my spring semester grades…
By any chance does anything think that perhaps if there was a sudden change on Albert for the status (saying received) 2 weeks ago and still did not hear a decision mean they could be evaluating credits for transfer? Or am i being too naive
Also, previously if I clicked on financial aid summary a complete blank screen came up and now it just says award access not available, could that have anything to do with a decision?
@katherine117 well - mine has been saying like that since mid April. But no decision yet… One thing obvious for FA is, if it includes year like 2015 award access not available, then you can assume that it is a good indication
