Official NYU Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

@musicforlife32 yeah when I got my acceptance I called to make sure it wasn’t a mistake! but they assured me it wasn’t, although they didn’t give me an explanation as to why I got mine early, I’m not special or anything hahaha, but my application was complete in late January/early February so I’m assuming that’s why I heard so soon

@erinhhill ooh, okay! congrats to you :slight_smile: It must have something to do with your early submission, which does worry me considering I procrastinated a bit :stuck_out_tongue:

i actually submitted my application on april 1st, so i don’t think it has to do with when you submitted it. i was really surprised to hear back after literally 8 days though!!!

Seriously!?

@caicon yeah honestly I really don’t know why we heard back so soon! Maybe they just really really liked our essays hahahaha

Hey guys~ is it true that NYU favour students without the need of financial aid? I am an international student, and my family will fully support me. Will NYU take this into consideration too?

Is it going to be too late if I submit my GPA for my second semester at 19th May? Maybe by then they would have already issued all the offers?

How about waitlist? If I turn in my second GPA transcript then, will they change their mind?

@Donnna I think NYU does favor students who doesn’t need financial aid. And for the second semester transcript I think you should submit a mid-term report

@Cannova93 have you get your result yet? I might apply to Applied Psychology too in the next fall along with CCTOP help. I’m changing my major to psychology as well, cuz I really wanna study in NYU lol. Also definitely apply for McGhee Social Science - Concentrate in Psychology. I attended the CCTOP visit day, McGhee only has 900 students while Steinhardt has 2000…gee…but McGhee is for those who already at work or have a degree, so i’m not sure whether the degree from McGhee is really helping my future or not. But 3.6 for Steinhardt :open_mouth: no way, that’s gonna be tough, and 3.5 for CAS only!? I would like to apply to Gallatin also, but I dunno… maybe I should try for Steinhardt. I don’t like that we are only allow to apply one school through common app.

@movingon222 Common app only gave you the option to apply to one school? Mine said to pick a primary choice and gave me the option to choose alternate schools

For those of you that got accepted, did NYU give good finaid/scholarship?

NYU finally checked off that they have received all my supplementary materials! I check my application status page multiple times a day omg this wait is killing me!! :((

@justthatkid from what I’ve read in past forums NYU gives lousy finaid to transfers sorry buddy

@princesskitten all of mine were just checked off too, even my portfolio (applying for tisch)! i know they have it, and waiting here knowing they have it is making me want to die/compulsively check everything every hour. :((

@Lefrogfrance21 the admissions counselors probably read these threads aloud on their coffee breaks and chuckle LOL

I totally thought my materials were just lost and never got there because it took longer than 4 weeks to update that they had everything! I just accepted the fact that I wouldn’t be going to nyu I guess lol. But I’m glad that wasn’t the case! I hope we all hear back soon!
