NYU and Barnard

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hey, I'm applying to NYU and Barnard as a transfer student, and I wanted to know if anyone had any idea what my chances are. </p>

<p>I have a 3.87 and I'm in the Honors program at my school. My SATs are 1420, and my high school GPA was somewhere around a 3.8 weighted (probably a 3.6ish unweighted). I'm also in a few clubs (community service, sports, major interests, etc...). If anyone has any idea how good of a shot I have, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!</p>

<p>Very good point. I talked to a girl at my college who was admitted to NYU as a transfer but received horrible financial aid.</p>

<p>At this point I'm less concerned about financial aid than whether I'll get in or not.</p>

<p>How many college credits do you have?</p>

8

<p>I'll have 60 hours after this semester. 45 are included in the 3.87, but some of those were IB credits, so probably 32 were earned last year.</p>

<p>What dollar amount would you say constitutes as "horrible aid" ???</p>

<p>That would depend on the individual circumstance. That being said, every person I've known who was accepted to NYU (except one) didn't attend b/c the financial was low, much lower than the fin aid from other colleges. One girl I talked to said that unless she found an outside loan to help, there was no way she could afford to go to NYU. It was sad too b/c that was her dream school.</p>
