*NYU Fall 2018 Transfer Thread*

@NathaliaNhem Thank you so much!!! I’m crazy excited this is insane!!! literally I’m still like sweating and like calling my family lmao, good luck to you hoping for the best!!!

@hope2018transfer @razoryanks25 CONGRATS GUYS STILL WAITING ON MINE!!!

@hope2018transfer I bet you are super excited! I would be too!!! I hope I get in! THANK YOUU

I applied January 14th, all of my pieces were in about 3 weeks after that. I kept sending them stuff tho up until literally last week. Honestly, I’m stunned I got in. Absolutely stunned. I had a 3.5 HS GPA at a top 50 public HS. No regional diversity as I’m from New England. 3.3 first semester GPA at a top liberal arts college, but rec was from dean of the college who taught my writing seminar who I really adored. My “Why NYU” I felt was strong, I ended with “if i were accepted to every school, I would still choose NYU.” Common app essay i was happy with, it explained my reasons for transferring, which was my current school didn’t have a developed enough major in what I want to study, which is Public Policy. I guess that’s all I have to say but if I left anything out PM me and I’ll help if I can!

@razoryanks25 Can you tell me what your EC’s were?

congrats to you guys! That’s really exciting- I’m going to try and be patient still with the rest of y’all lol

choir, non-profits (working remotely), college dems, student government, a cap group, worked remotely for a campaign. basically a lot of poli sci stuff and music because i’m a choir nerd

Congratulations!! Did you find your decision when you clicked on “application status” or was there a completely new link added to your NYU Albert? @razoryanks25

Wow, congrats! I’m so anxious now that people are beginning to get in.

mad stressed out right now, lol

I applied to CAS, and Stern, and for the Liberal Arts Core program just to be safe and ahhhh this is stressful

New Transfer Students
Fall 2018: Beginning on April 16, 2018, new transfer undergraduate students will be able to access the 2018-2019 non-renewable housing application on the NYU Global Home Housing Forms card. All non-renewable students who complete applications by May 18, 2018 will receive a status update on May 31, 2018.
Since on campus housing is not guaranteed, transfer students are strongly encouraged to seek their own accommodations. On campus housing offers will be extended only if space becomes available.

I just found this on the NYU housing website. Does that mean we’ll all have our decision by the 16th?

honestly when i saw that @hope2018transfer got into gallatin i was like ‘hmm might as well check’ and i went to application status and there was a purple button with admissions decision. There was also an accept/decline button that was a hyperlink so i kinda figured out the decision before i opened the letter.

Hey guys, I saw that NYU posted this when I signed in to LinkedIn:

“For the class of 2022, our acceptance rate dropped to 19 percent, with a 33 percent increase in African American students accepted and a 14 percent increase in Latinx students accepted:”

They said this is the most selective class in the history of New York University

Jeez. NYU’s acceptance rate has dropped over 15% in the past two years.

anyone else having constant extreme anxiety lol

Yes, right here lol

lol all i have been doing for days is refreshing this page and my albert page

im not doing that, I just check my email a bunch of times

does anyone know when nyu is supposed to update status for transcripts on albert? I know on the website it says admissions will look over everything within 4 weeks etc. and email you if they’re missing anything, but i sent in my transcripts from high school and college a couple weeks ago and those don’t have check marks but my sat score does (which i sent the same day as my transcripts). I’ve also gotten emails from parchment and my university that they’ve been received by nyu.

There’s probably nothing to worry about but since admissions are starting to come out i’m stressing that they might not have received them but i also don’t want to send them twice and be obnoxious if they have gotten them and just not updated albert.
