Hello! I will also be applying to NYU as a transfer. I have not submitted my application yet, but I did send my transcripts already. I also applied to Barnard College in New York City.
does anyone know how NYU approaches repeated courses in terms of calculating transfer GPA? i messed up pretty bad when i took dual credit in high school, and although i retook those courses, i don’t know how NYU will look at my new grades
Hi everyone, I have a standardized testing hold on my portal. I have taken 60 credits and appying for junior year. So, I won’t be sending any SAT or ACT scores. Can someone tell me why do I have this hold? Also, is there any chance to waive TOEFL requirement?
GL ALL.
No idea. Call them. They were super slow with my checklist and only after I called is when they updated everything.
Seems like there are not so many transfers applying to NYU as it was last year
@sifhsn i’m sure there are. A lot of people don’t post until very close to or after the app due date.
Hi guys!
I’m a prospective Fall 2018 transfer 
I was wondering if anyone knew by when transfers will hear back?
@GraceBayville I believe some acceptances will start rolling out the first week of April (like last year) - however, the major admissions release date is unknown to me - i’m assuming last week of april/first week of may
Hi guys!!
I’m also applying for NYU transfer this year!!
Trying to transfer to NYU’s school of Arts and Science and declare as a philosophy major!
still working on my essays, crossing my fingers!!!
How long does it usually take NYU to update the status in our portal?
I am as well! Good luck fellow applicant, mine is in God’s hands now!
Applied as a transfer to NYU Stern. GLTA
Hey guys submitted my application in early this week to CAS! My stats are:
White Female
College GPA: 3.7
Consistent Deans list for 6 semesters
Extracurriculars:
PTK Honors Society
Christian Fellowship Club
I am a tutor at the Science Center in my Community College. (work/paid) I tutor biology and chemistry.
I have written a really strong NYU essay and personal statement, along with two letters of strong recommendations from my Chemistry professors. I also have a killer recommendation from my tutoring supervisor from the common app and awesome straight A mid-term reports.
High school GPA: 3.1 (which is average :/)
Extracurriculars:
Marching Band
Spring Band
Winter Band
Softball manager and interchangeable player
Was always on the honor roll for first and distinguished honor statuses. I was also in the top 25% of my class in high school and got multiple awards for instrumental music.
Besides all of this, I work 45+ hours a week with two jobs and full-time college credits. Any shots?? This is my dream school, good luck everybody!
I am applying to CAS as well, I think you have a good shot with your extras and killer essay despite your lower GPA. I think you have a fair shot! Please take a look at mine on pg.4 and tell me what you think!
