Aspirations of transferring to NYU, just like everyone else in the world

Transfer Students

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>Im currently a freshman at Boston University.</p>

<p>When I applied to NYU my senior year in High School, I was accepted into the GSP program.
Unfortunately, BU gave me a full ride as opposed to a lot of debt at NYU.</p>

<p>I had a weighted average of 98.6 in High School with 7 AP's and a 29 Composite on the ACT. </p>

<p>I am from Long Island, so I want to be closer to home.</p>

<p>My first semester, I got a GPA of 3.53 at BU.
This I hope is viewed in a more positive light, since BU has the reputation of deflating grades unfortunately.</p>

<p>Honors and Activities At BU.
-Deans List
-First Baritone Sax Concert Band
-Honors Combo. Lead Alto Sax
-BU Big Band- Alto Sax
-Presidents Host
-Stage Troupe Theatre Group</p>

<p>My question is, should I apply for a fall transfer?
And if so, what do you think my chances of acceptance are?</p>

<p>Secondly, would it be beneficial to finish this semester and apply for a Spring '09 transfer?
This could save money and possibly be easier to get into CAS?
Also, since I'd have more than 30 credits would I have to send my ACT scores?</p>

<p>Thanks So Much guys, and I would really appreciate your input.</p>

<p>you should have a decent shot, but i doubt nyu will look into the purported grade deflation at bu...financial aid for xfers will likely be frighteningly thin</p>

<p>finishing 2 yrs at BU and then transferring to NYU for your junior/senior year would be the most financially responsible way of doing things, but you may encounter more difficulties in getting credits, classes, finishing major on time, etc.</p>
