Official NYU Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

Thank you @Nursingskiing . My major is Journalism. Do you guys know if we are committed to those majors though?

@Ros432 congrats! Then Columbia. I know an alumni from Columbia journalism. She got an amazing an very well paid job. The name of the school got her so far

@Ros432 I think we are committed to those majors.

@Ros432 Columbia GS is not seen as respected as CC. I would go for NYU…

@Ros432 oh sorry! you wrote columbia “GS”(i didnt see that) - then i agree with @Transfersquared go with NYU

@baddiarydays where did you find the admission offer button on albert?

@jlargo When you go to the “Application Status” page on Albert, there will be a green button at the top that will say “admissions offer”.

I wonder why they’re taking so long to make a decision.

Noone else heared anything from them??? :-?

@baddiarydays Thanks! Guess I have to wait for the rest of this week… I’m so tired of this waiting… Oh and congrats!!

It’s like they’re marshalling their resources for the final barrage of decisions xD

My friend told me. No news can also be good news

@Nursingskiing saving the best for last eh?

what are your stats like btw if you don’t mind me asking?

@thegent Haha. I hope so :slight_smile: it keeps me motivated at least :slight_smile:

Yea non problem. Well nothing extraordinary. Never been on a debate team or was in a student club thingy or whatsoever. I went to a highschool in Europe (austria). I come from a very small town and life isnt as competitive as it is here in the states. Most parents just tell the kids as long as u pass u are good. Instead of putting the kids in camps we had to work during the summer on the farm :wink: Because the majority of the people do not go to college and u just find a job. Thats life. So my high school transcript isnt that outstanding . A’s and B’s. I lost my dad when i was quiet young and i really wanted to get away from europe. So With 17 i went to Australia for year. I was at an high school in sydney. Went home (Europe) again finished high school. Then went to italy for 2 years and worked there. Learned italian. Then i travelled the world for almost 2 years.(Europe, south America, Asia Africa etc) been all over :wink: Then came to the US to travel first. Now in my 2nd year of CC. GPA 3.6. I have 1000 hours of volunteer experience In the medical field and during my 2 Years of college I work fulltime as a nanny for 4 kids. One of them is a special needs kid.got 3 very awesome recommendation letters from doctors and nurses. I just talked in my essays that I am particularly interested to work as a travel nurse, (I am a travel addict ;)) and I will be able to represent NYU all over the world. My GPA isnt that great, nor my test scores. But I thought I just give NYU a shot because I love the international atmosphere what NYU has to offer. :D/
