Hi!
I am a current freshman at NYU and would like to transfer in the fall of 2019. My reasons are mainly academic and resource based. When I sought help (I have a really weird dorm situation), I was told to drop out. This further solidified my belief that the school is cold and prides itself in teaching students to be purely independent. I now realize I would prefer a much more traditional college experience.
I am pretty set on transferring, and would just like to see if I am a good applicant.
HS stats:
Junior yea:r 4.0 w (2 APs)
Senior year GPA: 4.7 w (3 APs)
ACT:
- regular: 30
- superscore: 32
recipient of multiple awards (academic and leadership)
member of around 10 clubs with multiple leadership positions
College stats:
GPA: on track for 3.9
clubs:
- creative writing
- intramural volleyball
- politics club
- economics club
- reform religious club
- share meals
- hospital volunteer
Cornell would be my dream, but I also have some other schools on my list such as UVa, BC, Lehigh, and Bucknell. I have reflected a lot and believe that these schools will be a good fit. I will also be visiting each one in the spring.
Also, should I retake my ACT? Is that even possible? I never studied for it and NYU superscored so I was in pretty good shape at the time.
Thank you so much
