NYU Paul McGhee Division- Worth it for a traditional undergrad student?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>So I applied to NYU CAS as a transfer and was rejected. I was extremely dissapointed at first but then decided not to give up so easily. The Paul McGhee Division is one of NYU's "non traditional" schools as my rejection letter stated, but is an alternative for transfer students.
I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has or is studying at McGhee and would be willing to comment on their experience. Because I am not an adult learner I am scarred that the age difference from most of my peers will keep me from making friends. Also, if possible, I would really appreciate a comment on the quality of the classes/instructors. I currently attend one of the nation's top five liberal arts college and though I am very lonely and unhappy with the school's social scene, I am not sure it would be worth transfering to an "easier" school.
Lastly, if in a year I decide to transfer to another shool within NYU, I heard that they are quite picky with credits and most of the time they will not transfer some of them. Why is that so? Do they actually consider McGhee to be a "lesser" school?
I have heard too many mixed reviews to actually have an opionion on this program and I am hoping thay some of you can help me set it straight!</p>

<p>Thank you so much!!</p>

Do you mind sharing your credidentials as I am also applying to CAS as a transfer?

I actually haven’t applied but will soon. I hope you don’t mind since I do not want to pay the application fee knowing that I wont get in

If you do choose to share – can you post your major, # of credits you applied with, GPA, whether you submitted SAT scores and if so, your score; talents, extracurricular activities, recommendations and whether or not you thought your essay contributed to your rejection from admission. Also, are you a community college transfer or did you apply from an average 4-year school?

Also, yes, Paul Mcghee is one of the easier schools at NYU to get into but it is stil hard to be considered for admission.
