<p>This is my second transfer. I am an international student and transferred to the Ohio State in August 2013. Now I want to transfer again and I applied to Department of mathematics in NYU only. I didn’t apply to any other universities.</p>
<p>In OSU
Major: Mathematics
Current GPA: 4.0 (two semester), this semester is also likely 4.0.
Credits:28 taken/ 14 currently taken</p>
<p>In university before transferring to OSU
Major: Taxation
GPA: 3.3(two years, first year 3.0, second year 3.6), TOP 15%
Credits: 77 taken</p>
<p>High school GPA: 93
TOEFL: 104</p>
<p>I know my situation might be different and more complex than most of you guys… And my gpa is not very attracting in my previous university.</p>
<p>two internships:
Intern Assistant: in the fourth largest sovereign fund in the world, using Bloomberg terminal to report data
Intern Analyst: in a financial engineering laboratory of futures company utilizing MATLAB to develop trading models.</p>
<p>Extracurricular:
Fundraiser in a student organization, raised over 15,000 dollars in 2014.
Teamleader in a investment club, engaged in stock investment and acquired 10% return rate
Vice president of the university soccer association
Teamleader of a environment pollution survey
Volunteer in Museum, 4 weeks, 8 hours/week</p>
<p>Recommendation letters from my C++ instructor and mathematics professor.</p>
<p>I think your likelihood of admission is in the ballpark of WhiteChiner for three reasons. 1.) You are applying with over 100 credits and NYU might feel that you might not come because of how close you are to completing your degree at OSU (which is a totally awesome school.) Of course, you could make it very clear that you WILL transfer if accepted, I would write a letter to them emphasizing this. 2.) Your major of choice is one of the most competitive in CALS as NYU has the #1 applied mathematics department in the US and an overall department in the top 10. 3.) They may wonder why you could only perform at a 3.3 GPA at community college and a 4.0 at OSU which is confusing to me. It is great that you are doing so well at OSU now in a very difficult STEM major but it is odd that you did not perform as well at community college. If there was a reason for this disparity in performance between these two schools, you should share this with NYU. </p>
<p>You have very strong ECs, a strong GPA from a tough institution, and you have recommendations from relevant instructors which surprisingly most students don’t do. I would be equally surprised if you or Whitechiner were not offered admission. @whitechiner & @bromary, realistically NYU can be a bit financially sensitive and gives preference to economically well-to-do families, this is unfair but the truth, what are you guys money situation as that might factor into their decision. I am trying to analyze your situations as critically as possible so that my comments are helpful.</p>
<p>By the way, it is not a community college. On the contrary, it is one of the best universities in China. As for credits, in order to get a degree in OSU, I will graduate in 2016 Autumn semester. I mean, in fact, I just started my math major which cannot be completed in a short time. The reason why I have so many credits is that Chinese university usually have nearly 30 credits per semester, yeah, semester. </p>
<p>I didn’t study really hard in China, so only got a GPA3.3, but still top 15% in major. But after came to OSU, I started to work hard. I changed my major to mathematics just last semester. When I applied to OSU, my intended major is finance… </p>
<p>At last, my family has a high income, so tuition is not a problem.</p>
<p>No problem. You should share with NYU the credit situation as they might see it as 105 credits which in the US is only a semester away from graduation.</p>
<p>@PSC2IVY , I was thinking about explaining the low GPA in China. But I also worry about that explanation may cause a negative effect, which seems like you are trying to hide something… </p>
<p>I will call the office on Monday asking their suggestions.</p>
<p>Hi! I’m applying for the spring semester to NYU as a freshman transfer. I’m currently at Hamilton College with a 3.7 HS GPA and currently have two A-, B+ and a B-. What do you think of my acceptance potential? Thanks!</p>
<p>@bromary I had a job throughout high school (and at Hamilton work for a nonprofit), earned bronze/silver awards in girl scouts, been the leader of various community service organizations, did dance in HS and the varsity crew team here. Do you think those are helpful?</p>
<p>you can check out the thread NYU Spring transfer 2014, the acceptance letter will begin to come out around Nov, 15th and will be all released by mid Dec I think, according to last year’s data. AO will prefer to give more competitive applicants admission letter first and they have 3 weeks to make decision. As for those who are less competitive, they all will get the decision letter after the first round applicants make the decisions I think. Hope it will be helpful and best luck! @pinkpop</p>
<p>@pinkpop thank you, and on the NYU website it says acceptance letters should start coming out mid november, so we should hopefully know by the end of the month!</p>
<p>Do you guys know how much the mid term report affects acceptance? I only ask because I have all As except for a B+ but that is only because my teacher hasn’t updated grades and I don’t think he will until the end of the semester. I was just wondering if that will hinder my chances?</p>
