Official NYU Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

@angellim according to the new students.cas. nyu . edu it states (and also something similar to the email I recieved):

“Fall transfer students will go through a virtual advising and registration process in the summer to get registered for courses. Students will also be invited to campus for a three-day orientation program beginning August 30th. We encourage these students to attend NYU Welcome Week events from Sunday, August 30th to Tuesday, September 1st.”

This is for CAS, idk about the other NYU colleges, it will probably be the same thing.

@katherine117 does it say what your credits will count as in your transfer credit evaluation link?? i believe there is a number there if you have a question about your credit transfers!

If you’re a CCTOPer, at Steinhardt, message me here. Thanks!

@roarx1 I sent them on Tuesday so they probably didn’t arrive yet. I also had problems with my school, for some reason they decided I wasn’t meeting the satisfactory academic progress requirements -.-

I somehow got accepted! Going today for a tour :smiley:

congrats!!

been looking around rejected and accepted stats. it is very unclear what NYU want, reject high GPA but accepted low GPA, saw one got 3.25 and accepted. hopefully in 2016 spring wouldn’t be tough for me…now im taking a summer class in NYU, got a C on the first test and homework :confused: hopefully this would help me apply for NYU in the future.

Well I know it says nursing courses begin in junior year and for me personally I am wondering if that is where transfer students will get to just start with the nursing courses. I am sure if you have some nursing credits already some will transfer over.

anyone know if we can take a summer class at our local cc before starting in the fall at nyu (and transferring those credits)?

Did anyone as an external transfer get accepted into Stern?

I don’t know if anyone asked this question already but is min. credit required to transfer to NYU exactly 32? I’m trying to transfer after freshman year and I’m planning on having 12 per semester.

Hello all. Was looking for some help/advice.
Long story short: I’m currently serving overseas and going to finish up my military contract in March, after which I want to apply to NYU for fall of 2016 as a transfer. Before the military, I finished 2 years at Midwestern State, but because I had no idea what I wanted to do, I didn’t take it seriously and my GPA became pretty abysmal. Around 2.5-2.6. Pretty bad, I know. Honestly, I wish I could just restart as a freshman next year.

What I’m wondering now is whether my military service and admissions essays could still give me a chance at acceptance, as well as if improving my SAT scores to a much higher level would help me? Im also taking courses at while I’m deployed out here. If I ace these, will they help to balance out my old grades from Midwestern State?

Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you

@MASailor9360
i don’t think you can apply as a freshmen once have attended college, which I heard from an advisor from NYU (CCTOP). because you have to send your transcripts to every institution you have attended.

@bblegm315 there are people accepted in this thread has gained less than 32 credits, but you have to send your SAT scores to them, and HS GPA mostly will be considered. over 32 credits do not require SAT scores.

Can someone please tell me if I have a chance of getting accepted into NYU?

@ialmosara I think you do have a chance, but do take the SAT again, why wouldn’t you and it could improve your application! (I did t

I am an international freshman wanting to transfer into NYU. I am currently at a Canadian university, my first round of midterm grades are not great, will this appear on my transcript when I apply? Or does the transcriptl only show the final grade when I finish the semester? Thanks a lot everyone!

@joewimon great to hear! Thanks for the support! :slight_smile:

@ialmosara no prob hahah and @stillastudent you do have to send your midterm grades but if its your first semester I think they said somewhere on their web that they will primarily consider HS records…
