2009 Fall Transfer To NYU

<p>I just realized that colleges actually do look at withdrawal history on your transcripts, and I currently have 3 Ws :(</p>

<p>i think it also depends on reasons of withdrawal. i have one W from an American Popular Music class, and i didn’t drop it b/c of a bad grade (i mean, it was an easy A type of class) but only because i actually hated it and realized that spending time on material i didn’t enjoy learning about was more wasteful than focusing more on my classes for my major.</p>

<p>Two of them were dropped because I would recieve no credit for them. One was a bs class which the school honestly just came up with to make more money. They told us that we wouldn’t get credit for it after the add/drop date and that’s when I dropped it since there was no point in taking it (the class came with a package of classes that freshmen were recommended to take.) I dropped the second because I changed my major to political science with a concentration in pre-law and a minor and history this semester and since it was a 2000 level class, I would have to still be majoring in journalism in order to receive credit for it.</p>

<p>The third was actually a history class but I wasn’t minoring in history at that time. Honestly, I had intended to drop the class but I missed the add/drop period by a day (we’re only allowed 3 days to drop a class before you have to withdraw.)</p>

<p>From what I’ve heard, it really doesn’t matter if you drop classes as long as it doesn’t have to do with your major, but what about your minor?</p>

<p>you can petition a undergraduate dean once you’re here. a person i transferred to Steinhardt with was in the same position and she petitioned a dean in person and got them to transfer. your adviser within your department can help you with that.</p>

<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>Please confirm/reject the following statement:</p>

<p>Being able create your Net ID with your University ID online means acceptance even if you have not received the official package/letter.</p>

<p>I ask because after reading about it here, I tried to do the same with my University ID and failed. What does this mean?</p>

<p>Congrats to those who made it. Crossing fingers for those still waiting.</p>

<p>All the best,

<p>You shouldn’t be trying to get Net ID, NYU has clearly stated this. But, if it doesn’t work it means either they haven’t made a decision or you didn’t get in.</p>

<p>I hesitate to use the word ‘reject’ because of its connotation within this forum, but that statement is not true. There have been a few cases where the NetID worked and a rejection letter went out (or waitlist), or most commonly that the NetID failed to work, and an acceptance came shortly thereafter.</p>

<p>Not being able to create a NetID could mean several things, but most likely that your application hasn’t been reviewed yet. I haven’t been brave enough to try it because of how I’ll probably interpret not being able to make one!</p>

<p>Apart from nyu44, who was already accepted, I feel like I’m the only one here that’s still waiting to hear from Gallatin. Haha</p>

<p>missamericanpie, thanks for that info. But i realized i made a mistake. I forgot they have not evaluated my credits for this semester yet. So I still have 12 credits that have not been added on.</p>

<p>@nyu44</p>

<p>make sure to keep tabs on those credits, it took them a while to apply the credits i had from my last semester. CUNY was so terrible about sending out my transcripts.</p>

<p>and congrats!</p>

<p>i better start planning for next year at my current school haha–a 4.0 cumulative from a solid university, applying for junior placement, and slightly better SATs than mine got rejected? this is wild.</p>

<p>i have about a 3.6, but my school is notorious for grade deflation. i hope that carries some weight.</p>

<p>it was a rough year for admissions all around. a lot of schools are trying to hold onto their current undergrads and more and more people are applying to school because the economy is so bad.</p>

<p>still waiting to hear back!</p>

<p>thomas- Which school did you apply to?</p>

<p>what school do you go to</p>

<p>or what tier school like what are some comparable school your school likes to compare itself to</p>

<p>somebody recieve something today from CAS?</p>

<p>Any letters today ?</p>

<p>i got my acceptance letter yesterday. i applied to CAS for Fall 09 as an incoming sophomore</p>

<p>I´ll be a sophmore too, to CAS I hope to get it tomorrow</p>

<p>Are there any NYU applicant who got admitted from NYU, even though the school did not ask for a midterm report? I assume that a reason why NYU requests a midterm report to certain people is because NYU has more interests on them.</p>
