NYU application

<p>I have no idea how to list my previous schools on this application. I have been to five different community colleges kind of at the same time. There is only space for four and it says to list the most recent first. Also it asks your reason for leaving but there is only enough space for one word. Technically I haven't left any of these schools yet...I am going to call the admissions office to clarify how I should list the schools but I just wanted to see if anybody has a ridiculous school history like mine. Also I was a varsity athlete in high school and I also played travel ball (for ten years), do I mention that? I don't play anymore so I don't think it is relevant but it asks for highschool ec's. I guess it might help explain my terrible gpa (2.4) since it shows I was busy all the time. :) Thoughts?</p>

<p>So I got my first question answered by someone at Stern...but not the one about sports. Should I list that on the app?</p>

<p>You're applying for transfer admission with a 2.4? NYU's going to be a reach.</p>

<p>Yeah, 2.4 was my highschool gpa...I have a 3.94 college gpa though. Also I had some extreme circumstances during highschool such as being homeless and going through almost every type of abuse possible. I had to take care of myself so school kind of took a back seat. It is honestly a miracle I even graduated.</p>

<p>Oh, ok. I thought your college transfer GPA was 2.4. Never mind.</p>

<p>It still is a reach though since I am applying to Stern but you never know until you try.</p>
