<p>Does anyone know what the average admitted transfer student's numbers are? Like what's their gpa and test scores? Also what is the acceptance rate for transfer students?</p>
<p>I'm want to transfer because I want to dual major in both economics and political science but my current school is rather weak in both those areas. Since NYU fairly strong it's one of the schools I'm looking at along with Michigan and Wisconsin. I'm not too familiar with NYU so can you tell me how strong of an applicant I would be? I'll list some of my basic stats below.</p>
<p>High School GPA: 3.6 (UW)
College GPA: 3.6 and 3.9 this semester
Classes:
1st semester: Comparative Politics, Cultural Anthropology, Honors Western Civ, Introductory Macroeconomics, Astronomy
2nd semester: Applied Statistics, Political Theory, Physics 1, Introductory Microeconomics, Seminar in Composition
Year: Freshman
ACT: 33
Major: Political Science and Economics

<p>I intend to transfer in halfway through my sophomore year or the beginning of my junior year so I thought it would probably be a good idea to look at prospective schools at this point.</p>
<p>I transferred in with a 3.9 GPA from a top LAC, a 32 on my ACT, but a pretty terrible high school GPA (lower than yours, but I’m honestly too embarrassed to even post it, haha).</p>
<p>I think, with transfers, they really take the essay into greater consideration. Make it more passionate - less about the practical reasons for wanting to go to NYU (programs of study, etc) and more about how much and why you wanted to go in the first place, and how you’ve utilized your time effectively at your current school.</p>
<p>Best of luck! Hope you can join us in the Village soon.</p>
<p>Yes, there is no possible way I can pay that tuition without help. And 20090869, when did you transfer into NYU, like how long had you already been at your old college before transferring?</p>
<p>Wait… You Financial Aid from NYU? LOLOL. NYU gives little ($5,000) to NO financial aid. You need a reported EFC of 0 to get ANYTHING. Transfers don’t get financial aid. Ever.</p>
<p>Oh wow, it’s a good thing I decided to ask about NYU first before applying. I might have to reconsider if I have to pay the full 40 grand. And it reminds me to find out more about Wisconsin’s financial aid since the only one I know for sure that I can afford is Michigan’s in state tuition. Thanks for that info.</p>
<p>How much would one get if their EFC was 0? Still close to nothing? Also, if you’re only going to be doing 2 or so years there the debt won’t be as much as some others at NYU (there are a lot of protests because people owe $100k-200k in some cases, from what I understand).</p>
<p>Do what I’m doing: apply and see what happens. If you’d need to take out too many loans then don’t do it, no one is forcing you to go. NYU also only requires the FAFSA, so its as easy as listing it along with your current U (versus many other top schools who require CSS/their own supplement).</p>
<p>If all else fails there is grad school, it makes a bit more sense to get in to debt then (and NYU has great grad programs).</p>
