drexel to nyu??

<p>I am currently im a first year frosh at drexel. i wish to attend NYU (stern or arts & science) because of their more prestigious business program. i plan to major finance and management. Currently at Drexel i have a 3.42 which is low but i hope to raise it to at least a 3.65 by next quarter. In high school I performed very poorly with a gpa of 3.03 and 620(m) and 490(v). I am also asian. If I have low chance be honest I rather just do my best here and not waste my time trying to transfer. If it is a real reason to transfer let me know, I just feel pressure from my family to go to a more known school. Thanks(sorry for not posting this in that other thread i just realized it existed)</p>

<p>so you wanna get out of drexel too?</p>

<p>im applying to upenn and im debating my chances as well</p>

<p>honestly, youre scores are a bit low (verbal) for nyu... especailly ur verbal and most colleges dont accept SAT scores taken in college... does nyu require sat scores?</p>

<p>since drexel is on the quarter system, they probably wont receive ur second quarter grades in time either...so its gonna be based on first quarter most likely</p>

<p>you could try taking SAT II like math IIC, and the english sat ii whatever its called</p>

<p>unless you have awesome rec's and a ****load of EC's...id say your chances are somewhat low...but not impossible... theres things you can do to help ur chances</p>

<p>have you considered looking at other business schools</p>

<p>yea, i think im pretty much screwed on the transfer idea i dont have any ec and my gpa is way too low. i figured if i transfer to another business school im just creating a hassle unless i am going to a better school. i dont know if its worht a shot i rather just focus in on my work</p>

<p>You could look into UNC-Chapel Hill. I've heard the avg. transfer GPA for their b-school is around 3.5, but I really don't know the stats.</p>

<p>Your stats are low for NYU...NYU says they want to see 3.7 GPA...also coming from your college, I think NYU would like to see at least 3.60...also your SAT scores will hurt your chances...Stern should be your high reach and Arts & Sciences should also be your high reach.</p>

<p>why don't you look at some other schools like Fordham? or Pace?</p>
