<p>does nyu weight the school you are transferring from?</p>
<p>in other words, i am transferring from a school ranked higher than nyu ( wake forest univ)</p>
<p>i have a 3.4 here as a 2nd sememser freshman</p>
<p>i have a 1470 on my sats, 780 sat2 chem, 740 sat2 math, 700 writing</p>
<p>wake sucks.</p>
<p>my essay was decent, my transfer rec from my prof was great.</p>
<p>my hs gpa was like top 15% . </p>
<p>what do you guys think</p>
<p>You've got pretty solid chances depending on the college you're transfering into</p>
<p>unless you are trying for stern, you should get in. i wouldnt worry at all a 3.4 from a school like wake is very respectable</p>
<p>So is NYU not all that selective? I mean, I think Wake is very respectable, but I have a 3.4 with a pretty tough courseload from CU Boulder (I am NOT trying to claim that it is near as respectable as Wake) and "solid chances" were not what I was told.</p>
<p>well you are getting your chances from a bunch of random people, the only person who would really know is adcom.</p>
<p>you have a great shot</p>
<p>Even to Stern I would put your chances well above 70%.
Good luck</p>
<p>i think u can def get in, its really unfortunate that you couldn't break that 3.5 barrier, that seems like the "cut-off" mark from what i was told</p>
<p>I think that's for freshman, at least it was last year when I applied. I would think the cut-off would be lower for transfers because it's a college GPA</p>
<p>i wouldn't say 70% for stern. how come wake sucks?</p>
<p>i am sorry to hear that wake sucks, but i would definitely make sure you are 100% sure about transferring to nyu. it's going to be VERY different...</p>
<hr>
<p>i am a freshmen</p>
<p>i am applying to CAS</p>
<p>there is another girl from my high school that came to wake and shes applying to NYU cas too.. she had a better gpa in hs and she has a 3.7 now.</p>
<p>does that matter?</p>
<p>also...im taking 17 credits this sem</p>
<p>also...wake is ranked 27 vs nyu 35...so dont u think that matters?</p>
<p>Good luck, but I don't think that NYU is going to be overly impressed with a school that is only eight places higher than they are in a ranking (which ranking, by the way?). I'm not trying to be discouraging, honestly. Wake is renowned and NYU will know that, and it will matter, I think, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they'll be dying to accept you. In my humble opinion, a 3.4 is solid, and you look like you have a shot. I just wouldn't count on the ranking thing.</p>
<p>us-news</p>
<p>but u have a point.</p>
<p>but thats where all my other **** comes into play. </p>
<p>im researching with my prof on making biodiesel from algae(revolutionary **** man)</p>
<p>so we'll see</p>
<p>bump ?</p>
<p>Whats your roll in that research? cleaning beakers?</p>
<p>no actually im heading the entire deal</p>
<p>im growing algae right now and writing a paper on maximizing their oil yeild.</p>
<p>Is it just me, or is the word "beaker" not one of the most awesomistic in the English language?</p>
<p>Am I the only one who find it hard to believe that this guy is leading some kind of "revolutionary" research?</p>
<p>If you're involved in such a drastic project, why in the world would you consider transferring?</p>
