Official NYU Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

Has anyone received an admissions decision from NYU yet for spring transfer?

Accepted to CAS. Current freshman, surprised to get in considering they don’t take many first semester transfers.

4.0 first semester GPA from my state school, very low ranked, Honors program
3.7 high school GPA
35 ACT

I was the typical slacker in high school, realized my shortcomings, and worked to correct them. I’m not sure if I’ll attend yet, depends on financial aid, but either way, it feels good to be accepted.

Havent heard back

They asked me for an interview but it didn’t go through…I thought I was definitely gonna be denied but I was admitted to Cas Econ!

Does NYU provide need-based scholarships to transfer students? If so, how does the financial aid package look like? I’m from a very low income new immigrant family…

Another question: I was also admitted to Columbia University the Shool of General Studies. So, it’s really hard for me to choose between these two schools. Regardless of financial aid, what would you choose if you were me? Taken financial aid into consideration, what would you choose if Columbia offered a lot less than NYU? (Columbia GS doesn’t provide meed-based) Thank you!

How hard is it to be an international transfer to cas? What majors are popular in cas? And is it true that they accept almost 50% of transfers (except 1st sem) ?

My college average is 87/100 (this is how our grading system works)

Have extracurriculars including sport, yearbook, organization, choir, leadership, clubs, etc.

Essays: good 7/10

Sat//act- not required but still taking it, let’s say 1500 and 25 are my scores.

Aid: i need a little help even though not too much maybe 20k or less aid, is this possible? Or if I want to join a sport. If not then it’s fine, I will pay the full cost. I just want to know.

I know that this thread was years ago already, but someone please reply. I need some advice.
