<p>Your GPA and test scores are great, so I’d say your chances are excellent.
Why do you want to transfer?</p>
<p>For many reasons, both academic and personal. USC is a terrible fit as well.</p>
<p>IF you need $$ yourt chances for aid keep in mind there is very little aid for transfer students</p>
<p>Money is not an issue.</p>
<p>Anyone…?</p>
<p>What school at NYU are you applying to?</p>
<p>Arts and Sciences.</p>
<p>Anyone…? Surely someone has something to add.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>You will most probably be accepted.</p>
<p>Most probably</p>
<p>Yea, no offence to anyone who thinks otherwise, but NYU isn’t exactly Ivy League, so OP should have almost no problem transferring into NYU CAS, especially since your university GPA is good. Sure you don’t want to shoot somewhere higher? If you’re gonna go through the trouble of transferring and relocating to the East Coast, why not try to get into some really prestegious institutions, Columbia if you must have NYC, Yale, Harv, maybe Brown otherwise.</p>
<p><em>grins</em> I’m applying to most of those others as well.</p>
<p>As others have said, you’re a shoe-in at NYU.</p>
<p>However, you are not a shoe-in (because no one is) at the “more prestegious [sic] institutions.” But don’t worry, at NYU you’ll be surrounded by plenty of kids with similar qualifications who didn’t make the 10 to 1 cut either.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p><em>grins</em> I rather enjoy your response, Melquiades, but do I have a chance at those “more prestegious [sic] institutions”?</p>
<p>I’m no admissions officer but I would think so. As you are no doubt aware, though, the competition is extreme.</p>
<p>Heh, believe it or not, not everyone at nyu is a person “with similar qualifications who didn’t make the 1 in 10 cut”. 
Some did, and for various reasons decided to go to NYU instead ;). At the end of the day, which college you go to matters much less than what you do while you’re there.</p>
<p>I entirely agree and merely meant to point out that NYU has many top-notch students.</p>
