<p>As a current NYU student, I can confirm brand_182’s statement. NYU treats its students like crap. However, the NYU degree is pretty valuable, so if you can put up with 4 years of NYU’s incompetence, then you should be good.</p>
<p>if someone is lucky enough to get into tulane…which is going to be near impossible now that they arent accepting many transfers anymore after the hurricane from what i hear…they treat their transfers as good as freshman if not better than them…its truly unbeliable</p>
<p>i agree nyu is very bad with transfers, although it might be tough for them with 20,000 students…although usc is pretty good with transfers and they have similar numbers</p>
<p>windcloud - purely anecdotal evidence ive met is that @ H, the transfers are treated as “oh, didn’t you get in the first time”-type students.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hmm I dunno, I spoke with a Stern counselor last week and all the courses I’ve registered for are required for graduation. I’m a junior transfer btw</p>
<p>mr_sanguine…where’d ya hear that from?</p>
<p>frrph…i would agree that brown is more quirky and progressive. </p>
<p>Adressing the initial question, the only thing that comes to mind is financial aid. Many schools either don’t give fin aid or are “need aware” to transfer applicants.</p>
<p>Yeah, well the UC’s treat their students pretty well, since CA’s population is so large, they prefer to defer students and they reward the qualified ones with services and good aid.</p>
<p>Yeah, though in general, transfers have to be the ones to speak up or they will be treated like second class freshmen.</p>
<p>Most schools love transfers because of the extremely low drop out rate and high rate of graduation. </p>
<p>I remember hearing someone saying that over 40-50% of freshmans who enter UCs dropout because they weren’t ready for college (get too absorbed into partying or not use to the lectures). Anyone want to verify this?</p>
<p>Half of the freshman class of UC’s drop out? Wow where did you hear that, and if you actually believe something like that then you are quite dumb.</p>
<p>Haha, I didn’t say I believed it, just someone said it. I do think quite a few do dropout though.</p>
<p>id say cornell is pretty good with transfers too. we have a transfer center where transfers can live (or opt not to live) where there are activities and other opportunities including events, guest speakers,etc. there is also quite an effort made by the university to have transfer only activities during orientation so we all can get to know each other. </p>
<p>congrats again frrph for getting into yale!</p>
<p>oh and about financial aid… i am still waiting to hear about my package (complicated) but i know at least a few transfers who got at least 90% aid. </p>
<p>cornell = :)</p>
<p>I plan to apply to UVA for fall 08. Anyway, after UVA announced it’s “guarenteed admission” plan for community college students, some snob wrote this letter to the school’s paper:</p>

<p>So my point is, maybe transfers get treated as second class students by OTHER students.</p>
<p>My real question is regarding FINANCIAL AID. I got accepted into BC, and just came back from their orientation session, where there were alot of transfers. They got treated completely equally to us freshman, so there’s no worries about that. Just the financial aid. I literally can’t go to college without recieving massive financial aid, and Northwestern say that it generally gives no financial aid to transfers. Northwestern was always my first choice, but it’s not my only one. My question is, then, what have you guys heard about specific colleges’ giving of financial to transfers?</p>
<p>Brown does but it’s need aware – meaning you’ll get full aid, as if you were an incoming freshman, but it’s much more difficult to get in.</p>
