<p>should i do this? i'm worried about seeming dumb. >_<...especially since it is not a fact-y question..i just want their opinion on something. is this a bad idea?</p>
<p>I do it all the time; I remember we [admissions officer and I] had a long emailing conversation about classes and etc.</p>
<p>well,as it turns out,i typed up the email just in case and then accidentally sent it. super.</p>
<p>It's okay, I'm sure they get emails a lot dumber than whatever yours is... and think of it this way, the only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked. I forgot where I heard that but I've been looking for somewhere to use it, lol. Anyway, yeah don't worry about it. You could just call them, if it's just a quick question.</p>
<p>well it wasn't really stupid..i mean..it might have been stupid.</p>
<p>basically i was saying that my sat score is lower than average and i was worried about that...but if i apply ED, i will only have time to take one in sept. i havent taken my satIIs yet (not required, just recommended) so i asked whether it would be wiser to retake my sats or just take my satIIs (also asked if my ap scores offset my lack of satiis)</p>
<p>That's fine, don't worry about it :D They get asked that all the time, I'm sure. Besides, it lets them know that you care.</p>
<p>Do it, the admissions officers definitely would like you to contact them. They want to see your interest in the school and you definitely want to attach your face (or identity) to the name on your application. I emailed the admissions officer of my region five or six times, each time with substantial stuff, and I got in. So definitely do it.</p>
<p>yea these info are pretty helpful.</p>
<p>just don't ask more than ONE question at a time. :/
I sent an email to brown with about four...got a response to only one after 4 days...and after another 5 more emails and about ten days i finally got all my questions answered...like, wth, do they just read the first 3 sentences than answer?</p>
<p>happened a lot to me...especially if asking more complex questions</p>
<p>plus they can give out some really bad info. i just hope that they're not actually admissions officers, just janitors filling for lunch break.</p>
<p>I do this all time, they don't seem annoyed in the least bit. I'm sure the whole adcom know my first and last name by now.</p>
<p>When you email adcoms after the first time, do you just click the Reply button to follow what you have written before or do you compose a new email? I'm just afraid that if I start a new email, adcom won't remember who this guy is and what I've said before (in the previous email).</p>
<p>just letting you know it's pretty hard to ask a memorable stupid question. Consider the NYU bulletin board, which is basically where you email an admissions officer and they post the question and answer on the board.</p>
<p>Although it clearly says you cannot internally transfer to Stern, one dude asked if he could do so after he'd transferred into the College of Liberal Arts and then he also asked if it was possible to transfer into the School of Law. :rolleyes: </p>
<p>Stupid questions to CC members are probably just normal compared to those asked by most people.</p>
<p>actually...i unintentionally asked JHU staff if pre-med was a major. now that's a stupid question.</p>
<p>lol well is it? See I dunno that one...I guess it just shows if you've done your research at all before just asking a bunch of questions. Anyone that has studied NYU even vaguely would probably realize that the law school is graduate only. Let me see if there are any other bad ones....</p>
<p>Is there a way to set up an interview with someone in the admissions department to discuss my chances of being accepted?</p>
<p>Hi,
I am a student from Asia but now studying in Canada college. I doing University transfer course for 2 semester that are 30 credits equally first year. So is that possible to transfer to NYU? If can, what GPA i need to enter for civil engineering? The highest GPA here is 4.3 that is A+ A=4 B=3 C=2 D=1
Can i transfer to NYU straight into second year?
Besides that, what is the intake for transfer student like me?</p>
<p>Hope to get ur reply soon.</p>
<p>Haha... Cooldude, we get that question all the time on CC and on the Hopkins Message Board</p>
<p>I get flak from admissions officers sometimes for things that I write on my blog, but so far it seems to have been a net positive. I've had some good correspondences.</p>
<p>ok, brand. i dunno much about NYU nor do i want to do law. and i did not mean to ask if premed was a major. i did say it was "unintentional."</p>
<p>what are you talkin a/b? I was giving an example of what I think is a real dumb question...I'm sure they get pre-med questions a lot. But when it says on the transfer site in bold "you can't transfer internally to Stern" and someone asks anyways, I consider that a question that'll probably get a frown from the admissions officer.</p>
<p>Cooldude - It's not that unreasonable of a question, considering that some schools do have a pre-med major (though it's fallen out of favor of late).</p>

<p>Would it be a good idea to ask questions about moving around back and forth between high schools under unusual circumstances and how that affects gpa etc. if it's kind of specific? I'm afraid that may identify me too much as a whiner or something, but I am interested in knowing...</p>
