2009 Fall Transfer To NYU

<p>if you apply to Stern with a specified major, is it harder to get into? I applied undeclared because I don’t know what major I want to pursue. Also if I choose to do finance in the event I get in, will it be harder to get into Finance due to the fact i didn’t specify on my app? thanks</p>

<p>@Isnamedmichael - It doesn’t matter if you declare a major when you apply to stern. If you get admitted into stern then I think you should have no problem majoring in any of the majors Stern offers. I’m basing my answer on everything I have read about Stern; but I am not a student there. I think that by your junior year, however, you would need to know already what your concentration is so you can take the required courses.</p>

<p>Isnamedmichael, did you apply to transfer into sophomore year or junior year? Have you had anything back from them yet?</p>

<p>Sorry, I sound really out of place here but could anyone direct me to the NetID link or explain what it is? Did some people hear back already?</p>

<p>I am a current freshman applying for placement as a sophomore this fall. I currently attend UC Berkeley</p>

<p>did anyone hear back today?</p>

<p>I just wanted to make sure, has anyone been rejected after getting their netID? I got fed up with not receiving anything in the mail, and tried it out. I was able to create one. Should I start celebrating?</p>

<p>rejected from stern - international applicant, got an e-mail today.</p>

<p>Has anyone not been able to login to their Net Id, but still been accepted???</p>

<p>accepted to CAS! So stoked, good luck everyone!!!
They’re only awarding me 50 units though, which I find odd. Especially because I have 3 quarters of language instruction but they only gave me 4 credits. w/e I’ll sort it out. </p>

<p>stats:
UCSB Sophomore
Applying to CAS, dept. of politics.
GPA 3.67-7 after 5 quarters (but probably 3.75-3.8 if you only look at my last 4 quarters. got a 3.11 my first quarter in university then wised up.)
SAT: 700v/640m/700w
HS GPA: 3.7-ish I don’t really know, this is an approximation, and is probably thrown off by senioritis in my second semester senior year. Regardless, its still a pretty good transcript.
EC’s: Lots of volunteer work in HS (TeenLine, if you know the organization), did a semester abroad in Guatemala my junior year of HS, various academic awards, summer job as a legal assistant a law firm for the past 4 years, noncompetitive cross country last 5 years.
Essay: good. I’d say 8.5-9.0/10
2 very good letters of rec (at least one was promised to be a “ringing endorsement”)</p>

<p>definitely petition that when you get here. what language is it? you can test out. you only need something like a 650 on the SAT II of a language to get out of the requirement, i think. you might need to take a placement test instead.</p>

<p>Congrats nyuberktransfer!</p>

<p>HMMM…
This process is killing me…
it’s the first time I tend to build my happiness over other people’s failure… (seeing people get regected ) I know, it’s bad </p>

<p>Let’s just pray…</p>

<p>mrsmile, what school are you currently attending?</p>

<p>Hey guys, how long does it take for the financial aid package to be sent to me?
Do I have to send the deposit for them to send me the financial aid stuff or are they supposed to send me the package regardless of my deposit.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Should I call NYU and ask them to give me a decision over the phone? I need to make my deposit for another school by the 15th, and if it takes them two weeks to send a letter…I’m in trouble.</p>

<p>you can check financial aid online on your netID i believe… and sethosayher call and talk to a admissions counselor. They will tell you over the phone if they have to so you don’t send a deposit. Just try to talk it out with one of them.</p>

<p>I GOT IN TO GALLATIN!!!</p>

<p>Found out today, my 21st birthday! </p>

<p>I’m drunk AND accepted!! yay!!!</p>

<p>…well I guess YESTERDAY now! haha</p>

<p>How are you guys finding out about the decisions? Did you guys get e-mails?</p>

<p>yeah, set, if you need to make a deposit to another school, they’ll tell you over the phone. that’s a special circumstance.</p>
