<p>Also I am financially stable and well of so I dont have to worry about asking for financial aid if that would make a difference.</p>
<p>New York University is my dream school I want to go to. I am the first in my family to get a college degree and I want it to matter and be the best. If you guys could help me and tell me what my chances are to get into NYU I would be very thank full. If anybody has any other ideas I should do to spruce up my application or ideas on what I should do that would help that would be great? </p>
<p>I am applying to the Stern School of Business.</p>

<p>Your high school GPA, to my knowledge, doesn’t hurt your application as a transfer student. In fact, if you’ve had a significant improvement from High School during college then ideally it would give them more incentive to accept you because lets face it, high school is easier than college (excluding AP, though the point still stands). One thing as a transfer student you have to really take into consideration is the courses you take. The NYU website actually shows what you need to take in order to even be considered for transfer.</p>
<p>First things first, they require 32 credits (aka a sophomore standing) to transfer as NYU does not typically allow second semester freshman to transfer. In your freshman year you need to have taken 1 semester of Calculus (equivalent to Calc I in NYU, so make sure it’s not something like “Calculus for Social Sciences”), 1 semester of Intro to Microeconomics (the harder the better), and 1 semester of writing/composition. Those are the minimum requirements to transfer, in addition to your ACT/SAT scores.</p>
<p>Next we should look at the suggested course work for freshman applicants for the sophomore year. You will have more flexibility at NYU Stern if you take a science course (Ideally a Biology or something that has substance not so much elective), a second semester of writing, a statistics course, and a Financial Accounting course. These aren’t required, but honestly if you complete those in one year it may help your decision slightly.</p>
<p>If you want to be a transfer student then things like instructor evaluations, personal statements, entry essays, and extra curricular activities will give you the chance to fill in the gaps and explain why you should be accepted. A mix of your high school record with your current records from college and the validity of your Community College classes will give you a necessary chance at transfer. Like I’ve stated, you need to take the required courses and worry about meeting expectations to be considered. You didn’t state what your standardized test scores were, if you took them, which according to my research would be heavily weighted to your transfer. Average SAT scores are 610-710 (critical reading, 630-740 (Math), 620-720 (Writing). Average ACT is 28-31. </p>
<p>Hope this helps! Good luck!</p>
