<p>This has been discussed on another board quite extensively. The admissions officer who hangs out there posted that due to the the very low admission rate for transfer students (5-10%), the decisions often hang on splitting hairs and the content of the “why do you want to transfer” essay.</p>
<p>Gee, thankfully I’m applying to Tisch for acting, so hopefully my audition will weigh a little more than the essay… =</p>

<p>i was always told that transfer is so much easier than freshman admission…?</p>
<p>GroovyGeek: Not necessarily true…</p>

<p>thank you adriennevy! i’ve always been told by NYU students and others how crazy easier it is to be accepted as transfer versus freshman.</p>
<p>Adrien: thanks for pointing out the error in my post and providing the link. I did say that my information was from another forum, but I should not have posted it without more clarification.</p>
<p>Kezbies: don’t know how you can drawn conclusions about “how crazy easier it is to be accepted as transfer versus freshman” from the above link.</p>
<p>GroovyGeek: I can’t tell the tone of your reply through the text. In the chance that you were offended that I posted that link, I looked it up because I apparently wasn’t the only one concerned about the transfer rates so I googled. If you weren’t offended, then.. ok cool. Haha.</p>
<p>No offense, it was a sincere “thank you”. The accuracy of information on this site depends on multiple sources validating any statement presented as fact. And god knows that there are very few facts on these boards :-)</p>
