NYU Fall 2018 Transfer Thread

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University
1

Hey guys, I didn’t see a thread for this topic so I thought I’d make one.

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 (create 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!
