<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>what school are you applying to? steinhardt?</p>

<p>I also transferred to Steinhardt and you look more competitive than I was, and I got in to MCC. MCC is mainly about fit and as long as your essays convey that you have a genuine interest in media, you’re set. Steinhardt is very transfer friendly and the advisors are super-welcoming to transfer students. Good luck!</p>

<p>Yes, Steinhardt Department of Media, Culture, and Communication.</p>

<p>I just sent my application in. I wonder when i’ll get a decision? Hopefully before May 1st…</p>

<p>I’m in the same boat as you. i’m applying to gallatin. Since I’m not in the office of admissIons, I can’t really give you false hope. You have good ecs and you’ll never know unless you apply. Good luck! I hope we both make it.</p>
