<p>you have a good chance. let's say it's better than mines since your college GPA is a lot higher than mines. the fact that your GPA shows you are no longer the 2.6 GPA student in the past is already a bonus. show the NYU admissions officers that you indeed changed for the better and make sure you emphaize that the activities you done is because you really like it and/or offer a new learning or life experience for you. Avoid focusing on your past or it will put too much attention on your less than stellar past, such as saying you failed or something because you were lazy. Avoid it even if you explained that you have changed. In fact, I didn't mention my well horrible studies in high school in my application. The only bad was my high school transcript. My college transcript was largely average but was really good at my last 3 semesters. My first semester was crap since i studied for something i didnt want to do but did it under pressure from parents, who paid my education. I did offer a hint that I changed because of my former paramedic job and some other personal events. I also explained how i went to choose my program of study and how my former school was unable to offer these features in their program of study. Avoid saying or criticizing directly at the school staff or school itself. Additionally, Personal events are best but keep them clean or free of anything controversial like crime or acts of stupidity. This will definitely show you are no longer the person in the past. Most importantly, you must show interest and a good explanation that the program of study you chose for NYU is definitely the better or best fit for you compared to other colleges you have researched. it should be specific parts of the program, and not because of rankings and awards. Last, avoid repeating what could be seen elsewhere in your application. Furthermore, make good use of your current school's writing center and try to use multiple tutors if possible. I went there to only check my large number of grammar and well few spelling mistakes but I do not recommend listening to their advice of making your application better as they are only tutors or professors who applied wayyy back then. Keep in mind that there are many applicants rejected in the past despite 3.8+ GPAs because they mainly repeat their stories of academic excellence in the essay, for example, rather than show out who they are as a person. </p>
<p>Good Luck! I also recommend walking around the NYU campus. Really, college is all about the "best fit".</p>
<p>Here's a link: NYU</a> > Undergraduate Admissions > Explore NYU > Visiting Us > Campus Tours
you may want to take advantage of these tours to network with NYU students and/or admissions staff for any questions you have. (avoid asking for chances to avoid anyone from dampening your confidence. after all, iwas inspired to try harder after visiting the campus [no tour though] but if someone said i wont get in, i probably wont from the resulting unconfidence of a negative statement.)</p>

<p>do you guys think it's easier to get in for Spring semester or is it harder?</p>
<p>it's really the same in my opinion. spring semester has wayy fewer applicants but also way fewer spots. the admissions officers are not going to be easier on the applicant or acceptance rate unless lots of students started transferring out, which is rare during the spring. Good luck!</p>
<p>I read some posts saying you don't need SAT scores. I know that you really need to submit it if you took it in HS. I just don't know if you have to submit it if you've earned a certain number of credits. I am just freaked because there are so many things to pay for. lol. I think it's like 9.50 to request a score from the college board and 3 dollars for a copy of your transcript (at least that's for my school district) on top of 65 dollars for the application. And then, if you do get in, there's no telling how much aid they're going to throw at you. My world is crumbling!!!!!!</p>
<p>whitetie - Why did you necrobump yet another NYU 2009 thread to the front page, this thread has been dead for a month and there's already 2 threads about 2009 transfers to NYU, make that 3 now. Furthermore, you said pretty much the same thing you said in the last NYU 2009 thread you posted in which I tried to address in that one. Lets try and keep to the active threads, makes things less confusing.</p>
<p>If you're really in financial trouble over the application fee to NYU, you can request a fee waiver, this is the case with many schools. Collegeboard also has a fee waiver program for sending their SAT scores and on top of that they also have a cooperation program where they'll get your college application fee waived as well, NYU is a participant in this program. Though in your previous post it sounded more like you didn't want to send them because the scores were low, not because you couldn't afford it. In either case, money won't get you excused from having to send the scores, sorry. :(</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Hey I'm currently a student at NYU. Email me if you'd like at <a href="mailto:jset1989@yahoo.com">jset1989@yahoo.com</a>. Truthfully, I don't think it's difficult to get into NYU as a transfer. This is the biggest money grubbing bureaucracy you will ever encounter. I don't think they would turn down any chance where they could gain $60,000/per year to maintain an aesthetically captivating infrastructure to lure in incoming freshmen. Apply! Because enough fuming people transfer out of this **** school for more than enough transfers. Warning! If you are not familiar with the cold heartedness of New York (people and place) I would reconsider.</p>
<p>Do I have a shot at NYU?</p>
<p>I'm in my third semester at the City College of New York. I have a 3.9 GPA. My High School GPA was around 87/100...my SATs? Well, I got a 730 in Critical Reading, 590 in writing and an embarrassing 490 in Math. I have several 5s, 4s, and 3s in various AP courses, though I don't even know if they're considered during the application process...</p>
<p>Additional Data about my coursework and my extracurriculars: I'm a political science major who has done a mixture of core classes and poly sci courses...A few of my courses include upper level jewish studies and asian anthropology courses (which I've gotten As in), in fact I'm technically dual majoring in Jewish Studies now, though I don't plan to pursue that if I transfer...as for ECs, I'm only a member of my campus radio club and asian studies club currently, but I plan to join the history club and an organization for campus secularists and atheists.</p>
<p>I never took SAT Subject Tests, how badly will that hurt me?</p>
<p>sayher: I think you have a great chance! Your math might hurt you, but overall you are pretty good. dont worry about it</p>
