NYU Fall 2020 Transfer

I was not asked

I wasn’t asked to send them in but I’m doing it anyways because I was able to get straight A’s this quarter. I would only submit them if they asked you to or if you believe it can help your application!!

Has anyone who applied to Steinhardt heard back yet?

@jazziscool @cattt1107 @brmgross Sorry just saw these! Have you guys heard back yet/did they ask you for a midterm report? I submitted a midterm report when I submitted my app so they didn’t ask me. Apparently some people have alr received decisions (idk if they’re Steinhardt or not). I already have @cattt1107 's WhatsApp but if you guys want to PM me your WhatsApp # then we can start an MCC gc.

@westvillagelover we started a whats up group idk how to dm someone lol but if u want to dm me your number I can add you :slight_smile:

How are you guys submitting the midterm report if you need the prof signatures?

@Arithmetix I️ sent the mid term report to my professors and then asked them to print it out, fill it out, scan it and then send it back to me. If they are unable to do that, I️ would reach out to your dean of academic affairs for help with completing it.

Hi everyone! A bit late to the party, but applied as a rising Sophomore to CAS for Psychology and intend to minor in Business Studies. I’m transferring from a California CC; NYU is by far my top choice. Definitely anxious about my lackluster HS transcript, but I’m hoping my very unique backstory, strong LORs, ECs, and current grades give me a shot.

Major: Psychology
College GPA: 3.85 (26 Units + 23 in progress this semester w/4.0)
HS GPA: 3.57 W/3.3 UW
APs: Submitting three 4’s

ECs (Current):
-Volunteer at San Francisco LGBT Center
-Honors Society
+Publicity Coordinator for Honors Society
-Vice President of Active Minds Club (Mental Health)
-Youth Program Director/Behavioral Therapy Assistant at Nonprofit for children with cognitive disabilities
-Barista at coffee shop

ECs (HS):
-Head Groom at internationally ranked three-day eventing barn
-International eventing rider
-FEI Groom for Eventing Olympians/Pan-Am Medalists
-USEA Horse Trials Volunteer

Awards:
-AP Scholar
-Dean’s List
-Numerous International Competition Awards from Eventing
-USEA Bronze/Silver Medals

LORs:
-One from Economics Professor (PhD from MIT)
-One from English Professor (Social Justice Focus)
-Personal LOR from Family Friend (CTO of Tech Company)
-Very strong LOR from director of the training program I worked/rode for

Essays:
Strong. Gave background as to my unique HS experience of doing HS online while working 80hr weeks as the head groom of an international eventing rider, and competing at the international level(“child-prodigy” sort of thing), and then burning out → quitting to pursue my goal of becoming a social-impact oriented business professional. Edited by several writers, including an ex-admissions officer at Berkeley. Why NYU was really specific and connected all my current interests/long term objectives!

Good luck to all of you guys and hope we get good results!! :smile:

Also-- kind of freaking out as I have been waiting to have my college transcript updated; I have been waiting for it to be finished by A&R to upload it, yet when I checked my portal this morning my checklist disappeared and it says they have all my materials. I called NYU and they said they “might have gotten it confused”… I’m kind of freaking out as I hope they don’t start to review my application without my transcript…? Has anyone else had a similar issue?

What does a green check vs the paper icon mean for the checklist?

@hannabanana0807 I was wondering the same thing. Does anyone know?

@arithmetix I completed my application through the common app, so I printed out the midterm report from there. What I did was that I filled out the form with my information and scanned it in to my computer. Afterwards I sent that report to the professor which I knew would fill it out, scan it in, and send it to me the fastest. Once I received it from that professor I sent it to the next, until I got to all my professors. NYU didn’t request it, but since Cornell did, I figured I send it to NYU as well.

@westvillagelover I got an email from NYU today saying that as an MCC applicant, I will have to choose my preference for whether I want to go to Paris next semester. They said there is limited room for MCC transfers in New York.

BTW pm me your number and I can tell Bree to add you to the group

Do you guys think another wave will come out this Friday?

I hope

I doubt. Aren’t most institutions closed tomorrow?

@Sampats closed for what?

Oh Passover? Maybe
