NYU Fall 2016 Transfers Official Thread

@yellowplane thanks!

so I guess they release decisions on Monday instead of Tuesday and Thursday?

Anyone apply for Math major??

@waffle111 yes. That’ was the admission told me

Does anyone know how long after acceptance does it take for financial aid to come out?

hi does anyone have the aceept/decline financial aid on their albert portal, even though the award access is not available?

@seeme97x yes, that’s what mine says.

@StillWaitingHere someone on this thread said the first week of May.

@yellowplane so financial aid info come out the first week of May even if I got in already now?

@StillWaitingHere I believe so, yes. That’s the situation I’m in too, I was accepted but don’t have my financial aid yet.

all colleges except 1, that have accepted me thus far, delayed providing me with a financial aid package until a few weeks-a month. Why this happens I have no idea, but it seems a standarized practice.

@yellowplane Congrats on the acceptance! Are you in CAS?

@StillWaitingHere Yep! I won’t be going though if I don’t get a good financial aid package.

Same. I’m probably going to UMich depending on my financial aid stuff/other school results. Did you apply to any other schools?

@StillWaitingHere Hunter, Columbia, Cornell, and George Washington University. I’m at a school in NYC right now though and I want to stay in the city so if I don’t get into Columbia and don’t get financial aid from NYU I’ll be going to Hunter.

I’m applying to Cornell as well. Hopefully we’ll both get in lol.

@AngelChen34
I applied math major
Currently a sophomore student at UC Davis
GPA: 3.82/4.0
have internship at State Street Corp.
Reader position at Mathematics Department of UC Davis

second time applying to NYU
[applied NYU ED2 first time but being denied]
Now being denied by Umich, Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon…(all applied math major)
Hopefully can be admitted to NYU, but I found nearly all of people in this thread are so competitive, so I do not think I have so much chance to get in. Good luck.

Admissions told me via email that decisions will be rolling throughout May.

@William1213. Nice, I finally find another UC student. I am freshman from UCSD. Have you submitted the Mid-term Grade report yet? I was requested by NYU admission last week by email, but we are unable to provide the report rn because of the UC’s quarter system. Hope it will not disadvantage me. BTW, I was also rejected by Northwestern on Wednesday. So sad. :((

many of you are commenting on financial aid, I am in the same boat. Have any of you been following the news regarding nyu aid especially since they inducted their new president in January? It is reportedly the worst college for aid because of how their endowment is set up. To read about it just google “nyu, financial aid.” it is causing me so much anxiety to be honest. It seems that the college is trying to improve their aid, but it is not an overnight fix. What are your thoughts?

@muffinpoptarte Oh yeah, NYU is notorious for being crazily overpriced and super stingy with their financial aid while giving their administrators huge salaries and even huge personal loans. NYU as in institution is pretty horrible and corrupt, but from a student perspective the academics are great. Pretty much all the financial aid is need-based though and sometimes people get really good aid packages.
