Comments: I attended an elite prep school until I came down with a serious illness. I was forced to withdraw from school in the middle of 11th grade and focus on my health. My brother went to NYU, and my CC has a relationship with them…I think my chances would probably be better if I waited another semester to transfer but I can’t really stand to be where I am any longer. Also, I will have very good rec’s.</p>
<p>Anyone else having trouble with the “Courses” section on the Embark application? There’s only room for two semesters, but I have a Winter session as well. Should I just add those classes to the “second semester” or explain in the Additional Comments section?</p>
<p>yes, transfer students can integrate easily into student life. there are transfer student clubs, but transfer students are encouraged to take part in fall Welcome Week events. there’s also a “club fair” in September. clubs are the quickest way to integrate into campus life.</p>

School within NYU: Gallatin
College GPA & Year (fresh, soph, etc.): Sophomore (by technicality), 4.0
H.S. GPA ( W & UW if available): 95.9 UW
High School Performance (AP’s and the like): took several APs, did well in them, decent ECS

Activities (brief list): sorority (officer position), research, volunteer work, part time job at clinic, several clubs+honor societies some board positions
Comments: I had been WLed originally by NYU CAs, which was pretty embarassing because I consider CAS to be a low match for me at the time. In retrospect, I guess I was kind of snarky on the app. Will definitely be turning in a much better, more dedicated app this time around, although NYU isn’t my first choice.</p>
<p>hey, thanks for creating the thread zackthemac!</p>
<p>Question: can we retake the SAT/ACT exams while in college and still use it in our transfer app? </p>

<p>Yes, you can re-take the sat. i have called up a couple of different universities to make sure that its ok. i think it may depend on the university, however, so i would call up the admissions offfice. i believe if its your second year in college already you do not have to submit your sat’s but check to make sure</p>
