<p>Okay, so I guess I'll start off with my stats:
*College sophomore (in fall) at state university (which gives me NO financial aid)
*Overall GPA: 3.4 (sunk down from 3.6 thanks to a stingy professor)
*High School Gradepoint Average: 92-93 (took nearly all honors/APS)
*ECs: High School: Captain of Mock Trial, Director of school plays, HIV/AIDS peer leader
College: Drama Club, Amnesty International (Board Member), Hillel (member)</p>
<p>I started out college as a theater major, then changed to International Studies...</p>
<p>I applied to NYU Tisch as a high school senior and was even TOLD by them that I was a great fit for the school, but by the end, was rejected.</p>
<p>Now I'm looking to transfer, since my EFC on my FAFSA would make attending private school the same price as a state school.</p>
<p>My dream school is NYU (always has been)...Any comments/suggestions of other schools?</p>
<p>NYU will not be easy to get into. I would have suggested GTown, but the GPA is a little low. I would suggest maybe going back for another year and raising the GPA and then applying as a rising junior. That way you'll still get all the transfer credits and have a chance to raise the GPA.</p>
<p>Oh, I completely forgot to mention my ACT score: 29.
I'm definitely going to stick around for another year to get my grades up...it shouldn't be too difficult to get back to at least a 3.6.</p>
<p>Really to have a good chance to transfer you need it about a 3.7 in my estimation. NYU and we'll say Georgetown are very competitive for transfer with most easily having over a 3.5 GPA.</p>
