NYU Fall 2017 Transfers Official Thread

@NYUhopeful_1198 I honestly don’t know since there’s a lot of mixed signals being thrown around. For sure NYU will contact you if they need something from you.

@dino12487 So AP credit won’t count at all?

@cjeong98 I’m assuming so since you just said that the admissions people told you the AP English won’t cover the English pre-requisite in Stern.

@dino12487 I think that this only applies to Stern for AP English, but other AP credits I have will most likely count

@cjeong98 @dino12487

But if you’ve already taken 1-2 years worth of English college courses with your AP credit incorporated, wouldn’t they transfer the credits? Or do they not transfer the AP credits already in your transcript :confused:

Join the GroupMe, it’s litt.

the general policy for colleges is no matter if you have AP credit for English, you have to take the college writing courses during your freshmen year.

@thecitystars @cjeong98 I’ve never heard of that issue until cjeong mentioned it so yeah idk if it’s just for Stern or all os NYU’s school’s in general. It should transfer the credits but then again maybe AP credits transfer more easily when you’re applying out of HS vs already being in college (don’t quote me tho, I’m making an assumption based on why Stern isn’t accepting the credits). If you look at info on credits transferring for transfer students they talk more about the courses you’re taking at your current institution, not what you did in high school. :confused:

For anyone who needs the link to the GroupMe, PM me.

Does anyone know when they usually release transfer decisions?

Should I even join the groupme considering I’m not an applicant for Fall 2017 lol

@dino12487 lol it’s up to you! There’s 13 people here so far.

@NYUhopeful_1198 hahaha okay yeah seems cool, you can PM it to me lol :slight_smile:

For those of you who don’t currently live in NY, if accepted what are you all gonna do about housing? It seems like last year no one or rarely anyone was offered on-campus housing

hey @annadragon! i was wondering if your portfolio was checked off. I called today and they checked everything off but my slide room application. I’m getting nervous.

@lpkillz123 I’m going to live on campus if I get in, at least for the first semester.

@acceptmepls123 I was an RD applicant, but my portfolio wasn’t checked off until a couple weeks after I submitted everything. If you submitted through slideroom, paid the necessary fee, and got the confirmation code/email thing, then don’t worry about it. NYU receives a bunch of stuff from different applicants everyday. they’re probably still sorting through stuff - it’ll be checked off soon

@acceptmepls123 no my portfolio isn’t checked off! there was a little note on slideroom at the bottom of the page when i submitted it that said our portfolios wont be checked off on albert (:

I’m studying Applied Mathematics and entering as a sophomore. Do you have any idea when Tandon decisions come out?

I want to study electrical engineering at NYU tandon but I noticed that CAS also has an electrical engineering program. Is there a difference between the two besides the campuses?
