<p>does anybody know anything about the program? i have a few questions...</p>
<p>im a senior in HS, and my high school grades/SAT sucked (3.1, 1520 on SATs</p>
<p>how hard would will it be to transfer to the IR major at NYU, from a CC in california?</p>
<p>is the program REALLY Competitive??</p>
<p>but i plan on doing really well in CC.</p>
<p>The IR major does not accept transfer students into the program.</p>
<p>oh wow good to know. are you sure?</p>
<p>i'm applying to nyu as an undecided
the ir major requires you to apply at the end of freshman/sophomore yr- it's also an honors program
i think that's the only way you can get in- they don't accept freshmen or transfers</p>
<p>oh alright thanks guys. i'm glad i didn't look into it too much then lol</p>
<p>They do accept transfers on a case-by-case basis. See here under "Transfer Students":</p>
<p>That happens so rarely as to be almost an impossibility. And, to be honest, it's very unlikely to happen for someone who has those kinds of stats and is planning on going to CC. Not that there's anything wrong with CC but come on, if your stats are that low in h/s, it's doubtful there's going to be a huge turnaround once you're in college. IR is an honors major which is very competitive and many qualified NYU students do not get accepted. It's good to have dreams and goals, but it's also good to be realistic.</p>
<p>I was just speaking in general. I was also a transfer student to NYU, and wanted to get into IR. I have already taken a number of courses at NYU with a high GPA. So, the Politics Department has been very happy to consider my application to the IR major just as though I were any other student.</p>
<p>hey danielj. your saying you transfered to NYU and wanted to major in IR. so what happened?</p>
<p>I applied to transfer expressing interest in the IR major... I got into NYU, and at transfer orientation was given advising as to how to go about applying for IR. Since then, I've taken a couple of the required courses, submitted an application, and am currently waiting for the result. If I don't get into IR, I'll stick with Politics.</p>
<p>thats good for you. </p>
<p>i'm just pretty clueless to the process of transferring to nyu</p>
<p>Keep in mind that when transferring to NYU, you are not obligated to any particular major - if you aren't yet sure.</p>
<p>thanks danielj 4 all the info</p>
