<p>I’m not sure! I was wondering the same thing @PSC2IVY However, on the application, there was a spot where you could put a backup college. I put Gallatin. I’m not sure how competitive Gallatin is. </p>
<p>I just realized that I want to do social work and journalism but they are housed in separate colleges, is this a possible combination? It’s not like I want to double major in Tisch and Stern lol.</p>
<p>Has anyone recieved their Albert login to look at their app tracker? I’ve had mine for over a week now and it says I’m missing three items that I shouldn’t be… Does anyone else have this same problem?</p>
<p>They lost my college transcripts but it is all cool, I sent another one their way.</p>
<p>I received the acknowledge email last week but I still cannot log in the portal. It shows that “are not eligible at this time to hold an NYU password” Emailed the admission office this morning, I’m so nervous now…</p>
<p>I sent my transcripts a week ago and Albert still says they haven’t received them. Is that because it takes a long time to process the transcripts or should I call and see if they lost them?</p>
<p>Takes a hella long time my people.</p>
<p>@pinkpop I have 3 pending items as well. I think it takes time for them to process supplemental materials.</p>
<p>Here are my stats, in case anybody cares</p>
<p>Current school: A CC in North Idaho (North Idaho College)
GPA: 3.6 (2.8 first semester, 4.0 next 2 semesters and likely this fall as well)
Credits: 60 after this semester
Major: Philosophy (might double major in a chemistry or math) on pre-med track
ACT: 33 composite (34 english/29 math/33 reading/34 science)
EC: I work as a private contractor full-time, I volunteer at Habitat for Humanity ReStore, and I did a lot of ECs in high school (2 varsity team captains, VP of environment club, choir, bands, tons of volunteer stuff)
Hooks(?): I grew up in Asia (I’m white), fully tri-lingual (English, Swedish, Chinese)</p>
<p>uhh I don’t know what else I had a bad high school transcript (all Bs with a 40% attendance rate lol) and I was dismissed from my previous university on an academic basis.</p>
<p>To be honest, it doesn’t look very good for you. I’d say you’re going to be a 50/50 case but I really do hope you get in. You sound super interesting. NYU has the #1 philosophy department in the U.S. which is great for you if you get in. Good luck @whitechiner </p>
<p>I know I posted this earlier in the thread. However, I was hoping some of you could offer up if you think I have a shot.
I’m at private four year university. Right now, I feel like I kind of have a shot. I did well my first semester, but had a bad spring semester after taking the maximum amount of classes. It happens. </p>
<p>Major: Journalism with French minor/possible double major
Current GPA: 3.715 (3.934 first semester A,A,A,A,A-/3.4 second semester A,A,A,B,B-,Pass/No Credit Class with a grade of B) hoping for 4.0 this semester. My midterm report should be all As
Hours: 37 hours taken/ currently taking 12
Extracurriculars: Alpha Lambda Delta Honors Fraternity (for freshmen who earned 3.5 or higher in first semester), National Society for Collegiate Scholars ( for students who receive 3.4 or higher), participated in Frogs for the Cure Music Video with Susan G. Komen Foundation, Leader for First Year Students(arrived at school early to help freshmen get acclimated), theCrew (organize and run daily events for students all over campus), Society of Professional Journalists, and Ensemble en Francais (French Club), and Dean’s List during my first semester. I’ve had two jobs every summer since sophomore year of high school and volunteered at a hospital during high school.
Letter of Rec from my French prof that I’ve had for 2 semesters because I am a French minor and received great grades in her class.</p>
<p>I know some of us on this thread are prospective journalism students. I wish there was more info on how selective the major is.
Thanks for your help everyone and good luck. </p>
<p>@PSC2IVY Yeah it’s a stretch but who knows? My essays were pretty good and I like to think I’m interesting, so maybe they’ll take a risk. Thanks for taking the time to read my stats.</p>
<p>Does anyone know around the time decisions had been sent out last year? I’m getting so anxious waiting for everything!! @PSC2IVY I was wondering what other schools you applied too as well… It seems like academically we are in the same place so I was just curious </p>
<p>@emily199416 I think you have a good shot… Since you are coming from a 4 year rather than a community college I would expect them to look at it a little lighter as I’m sure the course loud is harder… I would just try to keep your grades up this semester to be sure… I’m not to sure on how their admission process works but if they weigh heavily on community service and essays I’m sure your chances will be even better!! Good luck 
</p>
<p>I also know with universities like NYU it helps if you don’t need to much financial aid so hopefully that is the case too!!</p>
<p>Only NYU and UF. If i don’t into their awesome social work & journalism programs, I’m just going to the state U.</p>
<p>@pinkpop thank you for your response! i hope you get in!! i also applied to boston university and emerson college for their journalism programs too so we’ll see! </p>
<p>Emerson has an amazing program in Journalism, good choice!</p>
<p>@whitechiner, actually I was thinking about your stats and story. I think you have an 80%+ chance of admission, you just sound too interesting to pass up if I were on an admissions committee with your story alone, let alone that you have a 4.0 for two semesters following one bad semester. The ACT you scored is also in the top 20% of their freshman class. I never go higher than 90% when chancing people because i reserve 10% for wild card factors. Hopefully, we can catch a coffee sometime if we both get in and attend, so you can speak to me in all three of those languages, haha.</p>
<p>@psc2ivy Thanks for the positive review! I read that a 33 composite falls into the 99th percentile of incoming freshman. I am hesitant that I’d be accepted to a school like NYU; perhaps I am too big a potential liability from an administrative standpoint. Bad business to have bad students. I was denied to University of Washington, so we’ll see. If we both get in, I promise we’ll grab a drink.</p>
<p>99th percentile of all ACT test takers, not 99th percentile of all NYU freshman. Thanks, my dude.</p>
