<p>I'm graduating this year and really want to attend NYU CAS, I have an A average, started a foreign language club, vice president for the math club, good class rank, etc.
but the only thing bringing all of this to a halt is my SAT scores.<br>
I'm pretty bashful of the CR and writing, but my math was a 600 (= meh)</p>
<p>I was wondering if it was possible to go to someplace like Stony brook, Rutgers, or even Brooklyn college for a year and then transfer out into Nyu. What type of a GPA would I need? Any Honors? Any EC's? And would I need to retake the SAT or any subject tests? Any tips would be greatly appreciated especially if someone mentioned financial aid for transfers.</p>
<p>What’s difficult about transferring up after 1 year is that when you apply, you will have only completed 1 semester of college work, so your HS record (gpa & rigor of coursework) and test scores will be weighted more. If you attend college for 2 yrs and apply as a jr transfer, more weight will be given to what you have accomplished in college.</p>
<p>See the Transfer 101 sticky thread at the top of this forum for general information about transferring.</p>
<p>Whenever you are thinking about applying to a school, the first stop for information about testing and other requirements should always be the college website:</p>
