High school gpa 3.2 uw
1340/1600 SAT
about 34 credits done all the prereq’s
im with MLT a program they are affiliated with
Mom’s an Alum
2 good recs, workin on essayy…great ec’s ( lots of leadership roles)
internships: NJ Superior Ct… JP Morgan. private equity sector in the city…at D.B. Zwirn & Co. LP now a hedge fund in the city</p>
<p>Comee give me an honest opinion</p>
<p>NYU doesnt have affirmative action, so why do you even mention that you are a minority :-</p>
<p>A 3.59 is a bit low. Where are you coming from? </p>
<p>I’m not sure how much URM status helps for transfer admissions…I imagine a little, but I think schools report the ethnic makeup of their class using freshman stats, so it’s not doing them a favor (PR wise) by admitting you if you’re a URM transfer.</p>
<p>I am coming from Duke University…how do i fair</p>
<p>Haha really? Then don’t worry about your URM status. That’s not nearly as valuable as where you’re coming from.</p>
<p>I’d guess you’re in.</p>
<p>How’d you get into Duke with a 3.2 UW and 1340 SAT from high school???
I guess I should’ve applied too.</p>
<p>Its my dads Alum … and lets just say he makes very generous contributions each year… BUT I hate it there and much more prefer the city enviorment and the Stern experience</p>
<p>HONESTLY, everyone at Duke knows somebody that knows somebodys lol</p>
<p>Yup and I’m pretty sure my dad’s sister’s friend’s professor’s son’s best friend’s dad has once attended Harvard University.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I just woke up and read that thing like 10 times and then realized I had no idea what I read.</p>
<p>that’s disgusting. that’s all i have to say. </p>
<p>karma.</p>
<p>It’s too bad you don’t like Duke…as far as NYU goes…i see no reason why you can’t get in since you’re coming from DUKE…</p>
<p>I imagine that Stern doesn’t lose too many students per year in their undergrad program, meaning less room for transfers, but your credentials are good. I have to agree with some earlier posts that it doesn’t look like the Stern admissions directors are too concerned with making sure their student body reflects the composition of the US, or anywhere I know of. If you’re looking to be in the city, Stern is really the only option, but makes sure that you really want to live in Greenwich Village.</p>
<p>what if anything, is wrong with greenwich village? i’m just wondering b/c i have no idea what the east coast is like</p>
<p>xferstd,</p>
<p>If you have never been to Greenwich Village, do some research. I don’t know if there is anything it can compare to. If you’ve never seen high concentrations of pierced, tattooed transexuals of indefinite ethnicity openly using illegal drugs prepare to be shocked! If you’ve grown up in a big city it might not be such a surprise, but if you’re expecting it to be like West LA, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas…etc, it’s not.</p>
<p>wow thanks! i had no idea…im from the bay area SF</p>
<p>I used to live there and it is pretty normal for a section of a big city. I never saw anyone using illegal drugs on the streets…I think that poster has watched too many movies. Times Square is not even that bad. If you are from SF you should feel perfectly comfortable. Most of my friends have houses in both places and find them to be quite similiar scene wise.</p>
<p>thanks Sweetny,</p>
<p>hopefully we get into HAAS!!!</p>
<p>Haas Ftw!!!</p>
<p>Sweetny007 is not wrong, it may be normal for a big city. It depends on where you go and at what time of day (or night). If you have early morning classes and stay around Washington Square Park, you might never run into anyone suspicious (except the numerous drug dealers in the park itself). However, if you want something to eat late at night and go a few blocks too far South or West, you might be pretty shocked. I have spent a considerable amount of time in and around the NYU campus, and it can be pretty shocking. If you’re used to San Fransisco it might not be too much of a culture shock, but if you’re coming from Sacramento or Tucson, it might.</p>
