NYU Fall 2017 Transfers Official Thread

The FAFSA form is due tomorrow right?

good luck again! terrified my second time around it won’t turn out good, but here’s to being optimistic! when do you guys hear back? @itztobs

i seriously have no idea. i applied for RD like literally 2 days ago.

Hey, guys!
I was wondering what everyone’s Financial Aid status says in Albert?
I’ve read in past threads that there’s some sort of correlation between what it says and an acceptance/rejection.

@nyuhop3ful i’m pretty sure NYU hasn’t even looked at transfer applications yet since the deadline is tonight. their website says they’ll send out external transfer decisions starting mid april, but last year some people didn’t hear back until the end of may. my FA says “award access not available” and i just sent in my application about a week and a half ago.

I have also read that there is some sort of correlation between acceptance and your housing status on Albert. In the fall 2015 transfer thread, some people who saw their housing status change were accepted.

I have still not received my Albert login ID yet, so I don’t know about the FA status change.

I believe the only somewhat accurate indication of admission is when your housing changes from summer 2017 to “freshman.”

i dont see any housing tab on my Albert tho

it’s not on albert! the website is housing.nyu.edu but again, there probably won’t be any updates for weeks. nyu’s website says external transfer decisions don’t start coming out until at least mid april so you might not see changes for a while

this year’s thread is awkwardly quiet lol :frowning:

Is anyone else not able to login to NYU start page? I got an email with my university id and net ID, but it says I’m not allowed to activate my account. I’m not sure if this is because they haven’t received my test scores yet.

@NYUhopeful_1198 it actually takes them a few more days to fully process your account so don’t worry.

@itztobs hahaha I created last year thread most people come in this thread after the deadline.

Can everyone share their stats?

Btw, did anyone fill out the college report on the common app?

@lillyJ678564 yes the college report is required! you have to get your counselor or advisor from your university to fill it out and then you can just email it to NYU. also if you look at page 3 of this thread i posted my stats!

Email it? It’s in PDF form and I’m not able to input information. I can mail it. Do you know if it’s okay to submit this after the deadline, tomorrow morning? @annadragon

I just took a look at your stats. Do you have any ECs? @annadragon And why is everyone submitting their standardized test scores if they are not required for admission?I regret not taking it now. UGHHH. Anyone else who did not submit test scores?

I thought the test scores were required, which is why I submitted mine even if they are not good at all.

^ Apparently you don’t need standardised test scores if you have 32 or more credits, but I’m always seeing people mentioning them so idk if they just mention it or like submit it @lillyJ678564
