NYU Fall 2016 Transfers Official Thread

Is it true that RD decision coming tomorrow? I haven’t submit my midterm grade and nobody email me about it so far

decisions will release in early May i think, it says on Albert…So i don’t think they are going to release decisions tomorrow.

Anyone application status boxes haven’t check off for all yet? I’m really desperate. They received my college transcripts but not my high school transcripts :frowning:

@kfellysnena I’m not sure, I guess if I apply as a sophomore then my highschool grades and SAT scores would count more and if I apply as junior then my college GPA would be more important. My CommonApp doesn’t really indicate the exact term “sophomore” or “junior”. Where does it say?

@nerdycatjenni I could have sworn there was an option on the general CommonApp where I was supposed to select either “sophomore” or “junior” but now I can’t find it! So I guess it doesn’t matter then lol. ahh sorry, I hope I didn’t confuse you!

@waffle111 yeah I mean the RD for freshmen. I think the decision for transfer applicants will be sooner than it states from last year thread so good luck everyone!

@paradiseeee What makes you think the decision will be earlier than it seemed on last year’s thread? I hope you’re right!!!

@dreamingofnyu19 some got their decision in early April last year.

I received an email from an assistant director of admissions the other day about some missing credentials. They didn’t have my freshman year highschool transcript so I was able to email her a copy directly. She confirmed it was now on file, so I guess they have all my credentials for sure. She didn’t mention a midterm report however I wonder if it’s s good sign (or not) that they are interested in my highschool grades.

I’m pretty sure I don’t have that great of a chance, but if anyone could tell me my chances that’d be great.

Current College: Cal Poly Pomona

GPA: 3.83

Applying to: CAS/Philosophy

SAT: None

Essays: I thought they were pretty good

Strong Letter of Rec.

EC: Almost done, private tutoring and co-owning a communications business.

I think what will kill me is my complete lack of any extracurriculars, which is a bit of the shame, because what I have consumes all of my free time

does nyu need high school transcripts to be sent in addition to your current college transcript?

@tracy1017 High school transcripts are always required

Called the office yesterday and they told me that they’ve received nothing. Called the office today and it turned out that this time they have everything… but anyway, the application is complete, finally.

Guys something was wrong and my credit card got declined as I was trying to submit. The email from common app says my payment was submitted 11:58pm and says my application was submitted 11:59pm. Is that too late or did I just make it?? Almost had a heart attack

@nyrider I don’t think they care so much about the time you submitted as long as it is not too late so relax :>

@paradiseeee but I submitted at 11:59 last night? Is that the final minute that applications are allowed? My payment went through a minute earlier

@nyrider technically the deadline was 3/31 12:00 pm which is Thursday midnight. But again they don’t really care if you submitted a little bit late. Don’t worry

@paradiseeee okay great, when will I get an email from nyu with login information?

@nyrider to give you some relief: https://appsupport.commonapp.org/link/portal/33011/33013/Article/35/When-is-the-deadline-for-my-application-submission

@nyrider also get the transcripts to them asap as well, just to make sure everything is on the track. Mine took like a month to update, and right now i am trying to fix high school transcript section.
