<p>Hey, what do you guys think my chances are to transfer to NYU STERN? I really appreciate any input. Thanks.</p>

<p>I’m not very familiar with the transfer admissions process, but I don’t think your strong college GPA will erase poor secondary school GPA and poor SAT score.</p>

<p>Hi, I’m a spring '08 transfer.</p>

<p>I’m going to be straight with you. Transferring into Stern is a total crapshoot. They have a high retention rate, and very few spots open up for transfers. There’s someone floating around the Transfer Student subforum who actually got into Stern - I’d post this there and go talk to him. </p>

<p>Generally, if you apply for fall of your JUNIOR year, they don’t care as much about your high school record. </p>

<p>If you’re desperate to get into NYU, and feel as if you can handle doing CAS Econ and not Stern Econ (search this forum for the difference), I would HIGHLY recommend CAS. There are more spots there for transfers.</p>

<p>Are you transferring from a four-year college or a community college?</p>

<p>I wish you lots of luck- this transferring business is a ■■■■, but totally worth it.</p>

<p>Thanks guys, I had a strong feeling about that, if that’s the case I might give it a shot when I hit 60+ credits. Oh and I’m coming from a 4 year college.</p>
