NYU Spring Transfer 2022

Same it’s becoming unhealthy lol

Me too :sob:

I’m leaning toward putting deposit to Fordham Lincoln Center which offers me 12k a year. Waiting for NYU decision has got me so stressed out and I couldn’t focus on my classes. I’m currently a sophomore at UCSB. Honestly, I don’t like this place, it’s not my vibe, and I really wanna go to college in a big city.

Assuming that I didn’t get into NYU. Do you think is it a good idea to go to Fordham? I’m pretty sure I would be happier at Fordham and all I dream about is living in NYC. But my parents and friends are all about college rankings and prestige ( I’m from China, and in Chinese culture prestige and ranking are kind of a big deal), and I just can’t persuade myself to transfer from a top 30 to a top 50 knowing that people around me are gonna judge me for that decision. I’m also worried about the job prospect. I’d appreciate any inputs, and thanks for reading all my mumbling. :handshake:

Hi! I applied for nursing and I heard yesterday that I got in!!

you shouldn’t worry too much about what they say if you know that the school would make you happier. I understand the frustration and pressure, you should contiue to think on it. im in a similar position in terms of BU and Trinity. trinity offered really good money and BU hasn’t sent my fin aid package and my deadline for trinity is coming up.

But Fordham is also an Amazing school, i wouldn’t be concerned it has a big name in NYC. If you’re looking to work in NYC post college, you will be fine with that big name school. Congrats!

Thanks for that! it’s good to know that I’m not the only one struggling here. I hope you can hear some good news from BU :wink: :crossed_fingers:

Thanks! I do wanna work in NYC, and Fordham sure has an edge

yeah you’re set. I live in ny and there is a lot to do in the city in terms of work. so you’ll be fine.

thank you, I hope so! and good luck

I also got into Fordham!! And U Mich. kind of struggling to decide where to go if I don’t get into NYU (also waiting to hear from BU and The New School). I want to be in NYC for the experience and job opportunities, but then i think i should go to the better school (U Mich). What do you think?

do y’all think we won’t find out until after thanksgiving?

umich is really good, so I would go with that if you don’t hear back from the other schools

You think i should go there instead of fordham if I don’t get into the others?

I’m inclined to think that unfortunately

Yeah it seems like they’re going to follow the trend of Monday’s - so probably no more decisions until next Monday. It’s so strange - it seems like they haven’t released hardly any decisions compared to last year. It makes me nervous

I’ve a question: the deadline to pay the enrolment deposit at UM is dec 1st. If I don’t hear back from NYU by then I might pay it just in case. That doesn’t tie me to going to UM, right?

I believe so! I also think that would be smart to pay the deposit just incase. It would be better to do so than not be able to! UM is an amazing school, same with the town around it, there is so much.

Yes? Is ann arbour a good place to live? I’m from Buenos Aires, Argentina, which is a very very big city. That’s what attracts me about NY. I’m afraid ann arbour will be deserted haha
