NYU Transfer Thread - Fall 2010

<p>When do the bulk of decisions usually go out, the first few weeks of May?</p>

<p>^ man… first few weeks of May = mid-May already, lol</p>

<p>the majority of applicants hear around may 15th according to last year’s thread.</p>

<p>just called today,</p>

<p>the women didn’t even ask for any of my personal info, just said “we can’t look up personal application status”. LOL</p>

<p>it’s so annoying checking the mail box and email everyday like now…>.<…
why dont they just give out all the decisions!!
it feels like waiting to die…>.<…arghhhh</p>

<p>I have a feeling we are not going to be hearing this week, unfortunately.</p>

<p>I get the same feeling, Javeb.</p>

<p>I don’t think most of us will hear until the 20th to be very true.</p>

<p>I was wondering, there’s extreme stress on essays but the only pseudo-essays I’ve noticed require a minimal length, did I even fill out the right application?</p>

<p>Could you guys tell me what the transfer essay questions are? I’m a little afraid that I might’ve done the wrong essays or missed out on a certain essay.</p>

<p>For the common app, there was the Why Transfer? essay. For the NYU supplement, there was a short answer about how you spent your last summer vacation and then the following questions with a 500 character limit each:</p>

<p>If you had the opportunity to spend one day in New York City with a famous New Yorker, who would it be and what would you do? (Your New Yorker can be anyone -past or present, fictional or nonfictional - who is commonly associated with New York City; they do not necessarily have to have been born and raised in New York.)</p>

<p>Write a haiku, limerick, or short (eight lines or less) poem that best represents you</p>

<p>In the year 2050, a movie is being made of your life. Please tell us the name of your movie and briefly summarize the story line.</p>

<p>Please tell us what led you to select your anticipated academic program and/or NYU school/college, and what interests you most about your intended discipline.</p>

<p>The NYU application from their website was exactly what pinkyswore just described.</p>

<p>Could any of you please review what I wrote? I’m sort of afraid since my stats are not decent enough. 1300/1920 SAT I, 3.6 college GPA, barely any ECAs.</p>

<p>pm me. i’ll gladly look over it.</p>

<p>@ThrowingMuses: You have a decent shot at CAS, Gallatin and Steinhardt. If you applied to Stern, your chances are low. Good luck with the process!</p>

<p>I would also read it. Pm me!</p>

<p>Thanks for the moral support, you guys. (:</p>

<p>PMed it to you guys. Thank you so much.</p>

<p>LOOOL. sometimes i think the lady working in the nyu undergraduate office are really annoyed of us. last time when i called about my transcript she didnt even ask for my ID number and told me they havent received it. wth…</p>

<p>Hey do you guys know whether CAS Econ students can get many internship opportunities easily? I know Stern students enjoy many benefits even from the business school itself, not to mention about having lots of internship offers, but I am not sure about CAS. </p>

<p>I got accepted to a few good schools for Econ(UCLA, UNC, NYU) but haven’t decided which school to go yet. I guess I care about internship opportunities the most. Please help me out</p>

<p>Would also gladly read it for you! Ahh at the rate they’re going at it I don’t think we’ll hear back as soon as we think. Lol the people in te admissions office sound like they’re asleep haha!!</p>
