<p>Hi guys I am trying to transfer to NYU in the fall 2012. I am international but have pretty good SATs score 1800 and my High school GPA is excellent. But I guess none of that matters now I have already spent 2 years in Ohio U. This year I turn junior so its a foolish decison to try to transfer this late.
Plus my cumulative GPA is down the drain at a 3.1 but my major GPA is 3.5 if it matters? I hope to raise cumulative GPA to 3.6 by winter and transfer to Stern. May be I should trasfer to the college of arts before stern since its highly competetive. I am also trying Boston University and Cornell but cornells maybe too selective. I know its a stupid question but you got any advice? In quite a quagmire here but is NYU inconceivable? am not a quitter.</p>
<p>Stern doesn’t accept transfers from other NYU colleges. So you can’t apply to the college of Arts and Sciences and then try to transfer to Stern. As for your GPA, I would say a 3.1-3.5 is low for NYU but if if you do raise it you’ll be about average. It’s definitely not foolish to transfer as a junior. The first two years at NYU are usually just filled with general core studies and then by Junior year is when a major must be decided. Since you’ve spent two years at Ohio U I don’t believe you can apply as an international student anymore–being international certainly gives you an edge since schools are always looking for diverse students. Lastly and without offense, Cornell might be too much of a reach. Unless you have some incredible extracurriculars or persuasive letters of rec. Cornell is highly selective and Ivy league. I hope I helped! :)</p>
