<p>I'm a senior in HS and I need some help making a good transfer plan. I'm not sure whether I'll be going to a CC or not, but I'm pretty sure I'll be transfering.</p>
<p>Here are my plans</p>
<p>For NYU I was planning on taking Health courses at Hunter and then applying to Med school but I remember seeing post on how colleges love accepting Med students from their own applicant pool, so I was planning on doing my last two years at NYU and applying for med school. I'm looking into BMCC as alternative.
That's my plan for NYU if I consider becoming a doctor or Nurse Practioner( I know Med school isn't needed but NYU still looks good). </p>
<p>For UCLA or USC
I'd move over there and dorm for my first two years. Since SBCC has agreements with UCLA and USC I'm hoping I'd just get into the engineering program if my grades are good enough. I'm also hoping that by Dorming there and doing the things required to claim residency I'd qualify for state grants and TAP programs, which means I'll take out less loans.</p>
<p>For UMCP I was looking at a community college in Cumberland. The rest is same as my Cali plan. Dorm, Claim residency, and hope I do good enough to get grants and scholarships.</p>
<p>I still need help though because:</p>
<p>I remember the fafsa telling me not to put down a school as my living address if I'm only going there for school.</p>
<p>What other schools have these agreements I looked at Artsys for maryland but some of the schools don't offer housing.</p>
<p>I'm currently deciding between Engineering and Medicine. </p>
<p>I just copied the above from my other thread. I hope it applies here.</p>
<p>Is it worth moving to another state just to get less debt in the future.</p>
<p>if you want to transfer to nyu, i would recommend hunter instead of bmcc. the education quality at hunter is about on par(if you make the most of it) with nyu, if not the resources. i know 3 people who had transferred to nyu this spring, so it’s definitely possible, just have a rockin’ gpa and some relevant ECs</p>
<p>I go to nyu currently and I can tell you that aid is a factor, a lot of applicants dont know the cost of nyu. It is expensive, and need-aware. Its tuition is 56k and i dont think it gives any aid to transfers</p>
<p>I thought transfers got Full/partial tution waivers if coming from a CC or NY college?</p>
<p>tuition wavers??? I dont think such a thing exists. </p>
<p>You get application fee waivers maybe, but not tuition waivers.</p>
<p>But in my opinion a 5-75 dollar fee waiver is nothing compared to the 56k tuition</p>
<p>Isn’t there any scholarships for Transfers? </p>
<p>I’m gonna look on the website I swore I read something about it.</p>
<p>You can’t just move to another state, live there for awhile and claim residency, if you could, there wouldn’t be any OOS students after their fr year. If you are a dependent, your residency is your parents, if you move to another state and attend college, that time is not counted towards residency requirements. I suggest you google the residency requirements for CA or any other states you’re interested in and read very carefully. States closed up residency loopholes long ago.</p>
<p>there is scholarships for transfers, but nothing more than half tuition. So minimum 30k out of pocket</p>
<p>I thought that since these CC housing places require contracts then they’d be considered apartments, which can be used to establish residency?</p>
<p>@Castiel
There has to be more money or else no one would even bother transfering to NYU unless they can make 30K or greater.</p>
<p>Dorm or apartment, it makes no difference because that’s not the problem. For instance, look at CA:</p>
<p>[Establishing</a> California Residence for Tuition Purposes, Office of the Registrar](<a href=“404 - Page Not Found”>404 - Page Not Found)</p>
<p>Intent:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Financial Independence:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This question of establishing residency while attending school comes up multiple times each year. THINK people, are states really going to let huge amounts of revenue slip away in the form of OOS tuition?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>For all schools, the bulk of merit scholarship money goes to fr admissions, with a very small fraction going to transfers, and many of these scholarships have very specific guidelines (eg. PTK, from instate CCs, etc.). Don’t worry about NYU, they will get plenty of people to fill their transfer spots for 30k+.</p>
<p>lol thats the point. this is a school for rich kids or kids with massive loans.</p>
<p>but ill let you figure that out yourself when ur aid packet comes if u get in</p>
<p>I thought NYU was more generous being a big Private and all.</p>
<p>For Cali, USC was the one I wanted to go to anyways. I only looked at UCLA because I saw the ISS rates, and realized that if I somehow qualified for IS tution I’d barely need to take out big loans.</p>
<p>NYU is the only school in which I can claim residency for and thus get State aid. MD and CA I can’t do that for…</p>
<p>Is it even worth going out of state then for just Articulation agreements?</p>
<p>What is a good plan then? Atleast an example that can get me into all these schools with little debt?</p>
<p>haha NYU is a big private. But boy oy boy is it no where near generous. it is notorious for bad financial aid. It gives people with a 0 efc applying for freshman admissions only 28k (with no merit scholarships).</p>
<p>most of my friends got like <10k. Its sad but true. it is an extremely expensive school</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Go to the Financial Aid and Scholarship forum and do a Search for NYU, what you will find are many people saying how NYU is expensive, not generous and how they ‘gap’ (leave room between financial need and the aid they give) students regularly.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Despite it’s name, NYU is a PRIVATE college, therefore there is no such thing as residency or state aid, all students pay the same tuition.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Let’s be frank, without the ability to get significant merit aid, which is very difficult as a transfer, you can’t attend any of the schools you’ve listed with little debt.</p>
<p>You need to start at square one, since you are a NY resident, you need to look at the public colleges for the state of NY:</p>
<p>[SUNY:</a> Complete Campus List](<a href=“http://www.suny.edu/Student/campuses_complete_list.cfm]SUNY:”>http://www.suny.edu/Student/campuses_complete_list.cfm)</p>
<p>[Welcome</a> to CUNY - The City University of New York](<a href=“http://www.cuny.edu/index.html]Welcome”>The City University of New York)</p>
<p>And to some extent Cornell, but it has a mix of public and private colleges within the university, so you have to be very careful and read everything closely:</p>
<p>[Cornell</a> University](<a href=“http://www.cornell.edu/]Cornell”>http://www.cornell.edu/)</p>
<p>So my chances are better if I transfer from a state college than it is from a cc with an Articulation Agreement?</p>
<p>The thing is depending on my major whether it be medicine/nursing or engineering I’d want to go to nyu(medicine) or umdcp(engineering)</p>
<p>USC is also there on the transfer list but it’s not as important as the other two.</p>
<p>Isn’t USC generous?</p>
