<p>Applying to NYU CAS Spring 2014 - Cinema Studies major.
Finished my freshman year at a competitive liberal arts college (a NESCAC school) in New England, but chose to take the semester off to transfer out due to the poor film department and overall aversion to rural New England.
GPA: Has always been a B+/A- throughout high school and college.
ECs: many leadership positions, good work experience, dean’s list, and community service.
SAT: 1860; US: 670, Spanish: 750
ACT: 28
APs: 7 APs, three 5s, one 4s, and didn’t report the rest
Hook? Latino, international (have always lived abroad).
Recs: alright. One was successfully submitted but I’m still waiting on the other one.</p>
<p>My greatest concern is that I took a semester off (will that look bad?), I’m not too happy with my essays this time around (on the plus side, I HAVE applied before!), and my testing could also be better. Also, to declare Cinema Studies as your major you need approval from Tisch, so that may complicate things, too…</p>
<p>ALSO, does anyone know how many sophomore spots are open for the spring? Or does NYU not work like that?</p>
<p>Anyway, any input would be great and I wish all of you the best of luck! Just 1.5 months until decisions! GAH.</p>
<p>can I apply NYU more than once during CC? Will it harm my chance of getting into NYU in the future? And also another case is let’s say I’ve earned 32 credits after first year of CC and want to apply as a freshmen, by submitting CC GPA and SATs/ACT, but without my high school profile. In this case is it ok?
thank you!</p>
<p>I’m not sure about NYU, but I know that small LACs accept students based on the amount of available openings per grade, not major. BUT NYU is a sizable school, so I have no idea how they do it…</p>
<p>Well since it’s for Spring and not many first time college students are applying, a lot of transfer seats are offered because students are also transferring out of NYU. That’s how a lot of private schools determine how many transfer students they accept.</p>
<p>Some majors are really impacted which are more competitive. But they do have seats that are reserved for applicants for specific majors. (A lot of public schools do this so not sure if NYU applies). Since they accept sophomore and junior transfers, I think they have specific quotas and what not that they try to follow.</p>
<p>I’m actually not sure how many Spring candidates applied. Probably fewer than for fall?</p>
<p>Hey guys, I just sent in my application like two hours ago, so on the 1st, but it’s showing up on my common app account that it was submitted on the second. Does this mean it was late?</p>
<p>my app was doing the same thing. I submitted during the evening of the 31’st and when I went to the dashboard it showed up as the 1’st. Click on my colleges and then go to preview and submission-- common app. It should show the exact submission date there. At least mine does.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, I think that the date that is showing up is the date NYU downloaded the application. I’m sure there is somewhere saying when you submitted it.</p>
<p>Did anyone else have any complications with the Registrar’s Report? NYU is the only school I’m applying to that requires it, but I still can’t find the right person to fill it out…</p>
<p>@thes1ruation considering how ****ty NYU is at giving out money, looks you’ll be attending Michigan. Congrats though, that a great school. </p>
<p>@LACNoMore talk to an advisor, I know different people at different schools fill it out so the person who did it for me, which was in the records office, might not be the same for you</p>
<p>I’ve talked to many staff members in different offices, and no one seems to want to fill it out. Their excuse is that the schools I’m applying to can find my proof of enrollment through the National Student Clearinghouse and can look at my academic and disciplinary history via my transcript. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Send NYU a message and tell them. The main reason you send in a registrar report is so that they can see you’re actually transferring from the school you say you’re transferring from and not lying. If you have some other proof of this, NYU should accept it, but tell them about it first.</p>
<p>Thanks! I just sent my regional counselor an e-mail. Hopefully they take some sort of substitution for the Registrar’s Report, since trying to get an administrator from my previous college to fill it out has been very difficult (no one seemed to even know what a Registrar’s Report was! And I talked to about 5 different people…).</p>
<p>see if your school has a judicial affair office. My school was the same way, I went to like 3 different offices and none of them even knew what the registrar report was. I ended up going to judicial affairs and was confused at first because they deal with suspensions and probations, but they were able to fill it out I guess since they have access to grades. good luck.</p>
Is it true FinAid is basically gone by Spring admissions?</p>
