<p>o ya the wait is the worst, I applied to several schools and it just sucks. And its so hard being motivated at the end of the semester here at my current school. I just don’t want to do any of the work if I know i’m transferring.</p>
<p>Yea, I know how you feel, Patrio1208.</p>
<p>I can’t get over how cold the student ambassadors in admissions are. I worked in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions here at Michigan and everyone was so much more friendly to students who called in.</p>
<p>NYU has been going paperless lately, especially with paying bills fro, Bursar. Maybe someday they will have an online system to see your admissions status anytime anyday.</p>
<p>do u ever slack off?</p>
<p>what do you mean loopinc? and ya I dunno why NYU doesn’t have an online system because about basically every school large university like NYU has an online system now. Also I didn’t have a problem with anyone being unfriendly to me at the admissions office but I have only called once so I don’t know if its certain people or not.</p>
<p>i applied to transfer to nyu last semester, withdrew my app though, it took so long for them to make a decisions for ppl because there were so many, that i just decided it was not worth it… and actually one big reason was that every time i called that ugrad admissions office, the people there were so fking rude!! i hated it, i was like well wt.f if im just a number to you, and youre not even treating a number nicely, then screw you… total dbags some of them… most of them actually… i spoke to like 1 or 2 people that actually were nice 
this semester, i was thinking about applying to cornell(decided not to due to lack of time) and the people i spoke to were SOOO nice 
anyway, yea so basically, i know what you mean liberate :P</p>
<p>I totally agree with you there, NS. Cornell has some of the nicest individuals working in the admissions office.</p>

Reason for Tranfer:</p>
<p>Life is full of opportunities. One does not realize that fact until one experiences the lack of it. Born and raised in a small Russian town, I understand what lack of opportunity means. Yet coming to America made me realize that finding the opportunity is only half of the battle. Upon discovery, one must maintain a consistent drive to fully utilize the resource at hand.
To tell you the truth, I am the type of person who never feels satisfied and always strives for bigger and better things. I would not call myself a perfectionist, simply because of the fact that I look at the bigger picture versus the nitty-gritty details that do not matter in the long run. Moreover, I believe that one needs to have a balance in life when it comes to education, social skills, and real-life experience. Such a balance takes work; one simply cannot expect everything in life to be perfect without putting in the work and maintaining a consistent drive towards self-improvement. I believe that in order to get anywhere in life, one needs to plan ahead for the future and make things happen instead of waiting for them to happen. That is why I believe New York City will provide me with the solid opportunity that I need in order to excel in all aspects of life.
Honestly, when it comes to education, I know that I will be successful anywhere I go. Therefore, education is only a small part of my journey. Currently, I am pursing a part-time career in modeling and am currently in the process of interviewing with modeling agencies in New York City. I believe that the modeling industry will expand my horizons financially and socially. Moreover, I simply believe that I am a lot more capable of doing something beyond school work. Modeling will provide me with an outlet into the real world, full of rapid decision-making, curves, and turns that will give me the real-life experience that I need. By meeting new people and possibly traveling around the world, I would be able to expand my horizons outside of class and provide myself with a possible career and a path other than school. Believe me; I am not saying that school is not important. It most certainly is vital to my success. I was raised this way and have developed intricate study skills that I use on a daily basis to get where I am going. My main goal is to become a dentist and eventually open up a practice in Manhattan. Yet, I also believe that if one is really good at something, then it would be a crime not to take advantage of that skill. And for about a year now, I am beginning to realize that modeling may indeed be something that I am good at. I work hard on building a great physique and take care of myself, which in turn makes me stand out. So why not strike while the iron is hot and use that to my advantage? Through modeling, I also plan to display a certain image to the world and create art that I am dying to share with the entire world. Through facial expressions, gesture, and pose, I shall project a positive image towards my audience and motivate them to become better in every single aspect in life. I am not trying to create an idol for others; I want to serve as an inspiration and a muse for others who want to better themselves through self-development and introspective outlook on life. I am also planning to use the money that I will earn from modeling to pay off my tuition and attend dental school at NYU in the long run. I must admit, I simply cannot let such an opportunity slip by. If I were to stay at my current college and proceed with my daily routine like nothing is bothering me, I would simply be lying to myself, which is the worst thing that one could possibly do. Moreover, if I were to let this opportunity slip by, I would always contemplate all the possible outcomes that could have resulted from this moment in life. I need to keep my doors wide open; all I need is the key, which lies deep down in the heart of New York City. So, when it comes to success, the sky is the limit, simply because of the fact that I am willing to go the extra mile to get to my final destination in life: self-actualization.</p>
<p>Let me know what you guys think…</p>
<p>maxmedia</p>
<p>I think it all depends on what specific school you are looking at, but your chances, in my opinion, are fair b/c your EC’s are excellent. The essay might not stand out, but it’s written well. </p>
<p>Does anyone know if having lived a good chunk of your life in a different country could have a positive effect on admissions chances? If so, lucky me :P</p>
<p>I am applying to CAS</p>
<p>togda konechno tebya viberut. zhelau uspeha</p>
<p>Am i the only one who can wait till mid-next month to find out. I don’t want to be all depressed during finals.</p>
<p>ive got no problem waiting…but it sucks when friends and family ask me ALL the time what’s going on and i continually give them the same response. no one listens to me lol</p>
<p>^^^ me too. they just keep on asking me.</p>
<p>haha i know exactly what you guys mean 
ive applied to a few schools(not nyu) none of which have mailed a decision yet, and wont for a few weeks… yet everyone is continually asking me what ill be doing after summer and how its going… and ive told them 20 times that first i gotta get in and then decide… its annoying
btw is it just me or is this thread a lot shorter than the spring 09 transfer to nyu thread was this close to admissions ? :p</p>
<p>I can’t stand the wait. I would feel better just knowing what i’m doing next year even if I do get rejected from the school or schools I want to go to. I think part of that has to do that I really dislike my current school. And ns89 I thought the same thing that it seems like maybe a lot less people applied for transfer this year, who knows. And ya my friends do the thing where they go “I hear your going to school here next year, congratulations thats so cool” and I have to continually remind everyone that I have no idea yet where i’m going. That does get pretty annoying.</p>
<p>The wait for me would seem considerably longer because NYU is the only school I’ve applied to. When I decided I wanted to transfer after my first year, I’ve missed most deadlines, only NYU and maybe Northwestern are still open but I have not taken the SAT to be eligible for Northwestern. fingers crossed, I am eager to move into a big city.</p>
<p>@ns89</p>
<p>Yeah its is much less active then I thought. I think its probably because theres not many people asking the “what are my chances” question. Or theres not as many people applying. Hopefully its the latter.</p>
<p>is there any way to find out how many seats each school will have to fill for transfers at this point in time?</p>
<p>I’m sure it varies from year to year. I wouldn’t think there was any concrete way of knowing that.</p>
