Hey guys,
As the Fall 2017 semester wraps up in a couple weeks, it will be time to begin completing our applications. I don’t see an official thread yet so maybe we can all start posting on this thread! I will post my stats below in another comment.
Good luck to everyone! #NYU20
Here are my stats,
Background:
-Out of state CC
-Asian Male
-Applying to CAS Economics
Stats:

-Dean’s List x4 Semesters

I’m really worried because to be honest my GPA is very low. It is low because I was dual-enrolled at my CC in high school, where I slacked off and got 2 C’s and a D. However, ever since graduating from HS in Spring 2016 i’ve been on the Dean’s List (3.75+) every semester. (1 summer & fall-spring-fall)
Let me know if you think I have a good shot! I believe my essay to be strong. Good luck to all 
I’m hoping to transfer into the economics program

I’m only worried about my GPA. I feel like my EC/Clubs are good, but my GPA could be higher. Crossing my fingers.
Good luck everyone!

I am worried about the fact that I have been at three schools technically now the first two cc’s were due to health reasons. I had initially moved to nyc to go to bmcc for the NYU transfer program after not getting off the waitlist, but my health was in a terrible spot. I had the shot to go back to nyc with fordham good aid however I still do not think the program is what I want as a student. Does anyone know if your credits transferring over is a large issue to your acceptance determination? I took mostly GE’s some more specific design or media here or there.
Goodluck to everyone!
Hey! Just wanted to let you know that your stats/ec’s are as good as it gets; if you are not submitting test scores I would say paired with a great essay, that you seem like a shoe-in!
Some schools are weird and will not let you apply as a transfer if you have been to more than two college-level institutions. Definitely email NYU Admissions to get a definitive answer. I would say that you are fine as long as you are sophomore standing in credits when you apply, and have not done more than 4 full time semesters.
Good luck with finals and best of luck as a fellow applicant!
It’s time guys! Most final grades are in. Time to work on and perfect those essays… good luck!
I have an interview this month with NYU!!! My final grade came in for this past semester 3.89 baby!!! Goodluck everyone hopefully everyone has a great new year as well.

@msport thank you!! I’m hoping for the best 
I’m currently a freshman in my second quarter at UC Davis trying to transfer to Gallatin… I got into the LS program out of high school but chose not to go…
High School GPA: 3.7 weighted
SAT: 1260
ACT: 26 or 27
College GPA: 3.667 first quarter, and my second quarter will end before the application is due so I have the potential to raise to 3.85
EC:
High School: CSF, NHS, Principal’s Honor Roll, Football 4 years, Volleyball 2 years, Student Council 2 years, Columbian Squire, over 200 hours of community service
College: the Filmmaking Club for our school
Job: 3+ years at a restaurant serving high profile customers
I was surprised that I got in in the first place but didn’t want to spend 75k on the Liberal Studies program for two years, so now I am applying because what the heck maybe I’ll get in
Hey guys Anyone applying to Stern?
I’m applying for sophomore transfer. Here are my stats-
College: Top 70 Public Universities
GPA: 3.92
ACT: 33
Currently a double major in Honor’s College for Computer Science and Finance, but applying as Computer Science Major to NYU Engineering
Also applying to: Cornell, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, Carnegie Mellon University, Steven’s Institute of Technology
EC’s:
Assistant Secretary of Finance Society
Chief of Finance for Honor Council
Treasurer of Muslim Student’s Association
Game Developer using Unity Software
Game Development Club member
Job:
Campus Manager for Fresh Prints (running a business that produces thousands of $ in revenue)
High School: Top 40 Nationally Recognized High School
GPA: 3.7 weighted
AP’s: AP Bio, AP Environmental, AP Psychology, AP European History (all 4’s) AP Statistics, AP Literature (These two are 3’s)
SAT Subject Test: Biology- 730
I have two strong recommendations and I might have an additional one just to bolster my chances.
I’ve been maintaining a high GPA for my college career since my high school GPA fell a bit short (Mostly due to low grades in freshman and sophomore year- I drastically improved them once I took school more seriously starting junior year). I’m relying on my EC’s, job experience, personal video game/development projects (I want to eventually open my own video game studio and pursue computer science research in a variety of topics at NYU), and strong essays.
Feel free to chance me if you want. Best of luck!
@Xihalo- The name of the university is Stevens (not “Steven’s”, as in possessive).
Your stats put you in a competitive position for Stevens, and highly recommend you consider applying.
I’m applying for the fall of 2018 also, anyone already stressing?
I was accepted!!! Gonna finish my USC application now and hope for the best too
@angeleno13 You were accepted already???
@angeleno13 Oh damn what are your stats etc?
