<p>I got into NYU's LSP for Fall 2010, but the cost is way too much for my family. I'm thinking of going to the University of Washington and applying to NYU CAS as a transfer next year (save up some money, maybe get a better financial aid package).</p>
<p>My question is: Does anyone happen to know how heavily NYU weigh HS GPA in their transfer process? I think I'll end up graduating from HS with a 3.5, so I'm worried I won't get into NYU as a transfer. If I maintain really nice grades my freshman year of college, will it override my HS GPA a bit?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>You’re bigger issue is getting a better FA package which would be highly unlikely as a transfer.</p>
<p>I agree with Redroses–the amount of financial aid available for transfer students seems to be lower overall so the likelihood that you would get a better aid package is low.</p>
<p>I don’t know about the financial aid aspects but I was just accepted as a transfer student for fall 2010 and I was also accepted last year as a freshman. I had a 3.7 in hs and a 3.66 my first semester of college, I currently attend Univ of Southern Calif. so it’s considered to be on the same level as NYU. I believe that if you do well your freshman year in college you would have a very good chance at being accepted as a transfer.</p>
<p>im a senior in HS n i got in 2 Stony Brook Uni…i have a GPa of 3.9 SAt score of 1640 n im fairly good in the area of extrcurriculam activities…but im think if transferring 2 NYU cuz i wanna aim higher…is it a gud idea n if yes wht are the requirements?..do i have 2 retake my SAts?</p>
<p>i can somewhat testify to what redroses and pinkyswore are saying.
i just got accepted as a transfer to nyu stern and i just called them about financial aid an hour ago (****though as of now, don’t take my word for it 100% b/c i have yet to see it on paper via mail)
i was accepted last year as a freshman and they met basically all my need: i only had to do work study $2000 and a $3000 loan. the rest was grants.</p>
<p>this year: $35,000 is loans. $4000 in work study. </p>
<p>compare the difference.</p>
