<p>How hard is it to transfer into stern as a junior? Any successful transfers out there that could help me out.</p>
<p>there are plenty of people that got into stern. go look at all the past nyu threads. admission to stern is a lot easier in transfer admissions than freshman admissions.</p>
<p>yeah and you'll be happy you're transferring as a junior. the admissions board at NYU seems to like people that have been in college for two years because they have more college grades to look at. Acceptance rate this year was 28%. Make sure you take the required courses, which you can find on NYUs site. Most of the classes are required for almost any business school you may want to transfer to.</p>
<p>brand, i have all the requirements...how heavy of a role does that play into transfer admission?</p>
<p>a heavy enough role that they won't really consider your application without them...lol
I know haas automatically throws out the application if you don't have the requirements, and i'm guessing its important
so good job.</p>
<p>For Stern:
"Applicants for transfer admission should have completed (or be in the process of completing) the following courses in order to receive serious consideration for admission: introductory macroeconomics, introductory microeconomics, calculus, expository writing, and introductory accounting (a combination of managerial accounting and financial accounting totaling at least 6 semester hours)."</p>
<p>Are there any General Ed classes one is required to take? (e.g. chem)</p>
<p>I spoke with them and as most colleges say, they only ask for a "rigorous" courseload so take hard science courses and don't take any crap (dance, P.E., health?) The more difficult courses you have, the better.</p>
<p>yeah and you better take at least 30-32 credits in the year. i took 27 and my application was thrown out :]</p>
<p>What if I have NO science classes?</p>
<p>Im going to take Bio 1 and 2 for Fall/Spring before I try and transfer. I was thinking about not taking any sciences but then after talking to the adcoms, I reconsidered.</p>
<p>oh whoa. What did they tell you specifically?</p>
<p>Well firstly my friend transferred there last year and he took chem 1,2 before transferring but I thought ill take some easy science to have a strong gpa. I called them and told them im taking like environmental science or something, then directly after that she told me we definately look for a rigorous courseloud in both hours and difficulty. I figured they realize that im trying to take the easy way out. Im not sure. I just chose to take Bio, hopefully not a mistake.</p>
<p>ooohhh, hmm, interesting</p>
<p>you don't HAVE to take science courses. that's bs. you just need a difficult and demanding courseload, which you can fill with all your business pre-reqs, stat classes, calcs, econs, etc. science is pointless unless you need it to complete graduation requirements.</p>
<p>You dont have to, but yeah you should take a difficult and demanding courseload but since at Rutgers science is a graduation requirement, I decided to take it to fulfill not only graduation requirements but also makes the application a little better by taking a tougher courseload.</p>
<p>ya and biology isn't necessarily frowned upon cornell's AEM requires it.</p>
<p>Yeah definately, Cornell AEM Program Requires Bio 1 and 2</p>
<p>I think you are looking for a "formula", there is no set formula for getting in. Completing 30-32 hours per semester is not a requirement; I got into Stern and did not complete that many hours each year. My best recommendation would be to follow Stern's transfer credit worksheet as close as possible. <a href="http://w4.stern.nyu.edu/emplibrary/New_CR.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://w4.stern.nyu.edu/emplibrary/New_CR.pdf</a> This sheet is included in your admissions packet and tells you which courses transfer in and which courses you have left to take. </p>
<p>I would also follow the path your current university asks you to take; usually it will prepare you well to transfer to any university.</p>
<p>you don't have to complete that many per year you just have to have completed at least that many by the time you apply.</p>
<p>yeah brand is right, 30-32 before transferring in general, not per semester</p>
