<p>Hey all, i posted this in another thread in the transfer forum, but thought i might get some more responses here especially from some current students. Im applying for next spring so ill have another semesters worth of grades that will hopefully help. Im a little worried from what ive read about the 6% acceptance rate at CAS for transfers this year; I really want to transfer and NYU is my top choice.</p>

<p>As CAS had an admit rate of 6% for this upcoming, the number of spring slots will be ultimately dependent on how many students are offered, ultimately accept, to study abroad for the fall and then join NYU in the spring.</p>

<p>I don't think you should have a problem as your stats are above average. Your also coming from a top LAC college; NYU recommend students to take several liberal arts courses.</p>

<p>Btw, did you apply last year?</p>
