NYU Transfer Thread - Fall 2010

<p>Chinese applicant here!</p>

<p>Here as well! Which school did you apply to?</p>

<p>Haha sorry I meant Singaporean-chinese :)</p>

<p>NUS? Wow, that’s amazing! Which school and stats??</p>

<p>my dad graduated from NUS, ha.</p>

<p>CAS, Major in International Relations. I did Cambridge ‘O’ and ‘A’ levels then entered NUNS. My college grades are counted really differently from the US universities even though we somewhat have a GPA-equivalent system. So I really don’t know how the admissions people will see my app? (NUS is considered a US-style school though)</p>

<p>In junior college (pre-u) I was vice-pres of student council and in the dance club. Represented the school for pre-university seminar and cambridge summer school. I’m currently into my second semester in NUS, majoring in Political Science, and in the dance club! </p>

<p>I think the cultures of NUS and NYU are polar extremes and whatever is the norm in US is mostly not over here and vice versa. Hence, I’m quite worried. :)</p>

<p>Oh I did do SATS I though, got a score of 2090.</p>

<p>I did the Cambridge A levels too! 8 A’s. what about you?</p>

<p>I applied to Stern. My SAT score is relatively mediocre: 2060 :(</p>

<p>Everyone asks for midterm grades, not just Stern…</p>

<p>im a junior transfer to Stern, international, Chinese, but in US college. They didn’t ask for my midterms but shoot me an email yesterday saying everything is complete and is under review.</p>

<p>spores, you are from singapore. You probably did everything right. haha. Oh and isnt there an NYU campus in singapore? Your location would probably help.</p>

<p>hooked, you got 8As, what are you doing in canada? You shouldve applied to the uk and saved yourself the headache!</p>

<p>I never wanted to go to the UK. So, when I was rejected by all the Ivies, I decided to go to McGill (scholarship) and transfer to a better U.S. university after a year. I hope the 8 A’s help in the transfer process!</p>

<p>@hookedongtown - I didn’t know you went to McGill. What don’t you like about it?</p>

<p>Everything actually. I’ve posted about it numerous times but i’ll re-list:</p>

<p>-too big. can be annoying to be referred to as a number (you never write names on quizzes, exams or assignments!)
-too cold.
-the faculty works against your better interests.
-no advising whatsoever.
-the grading scale is ridiculous! my first year econ class average is 58%!
-no residence after first year.
-too many commuters makes making friends difficult.
-all that there is to do is drink. fun at first but then it just gets downright depressing.
-no opportunities to intern anywhere nice. (everything’s in Toronto)
-the french kids are downright stupid but think they’re better than everyone else.
-the bilingualism means you can never work around campus.
-you NEVER need to attend class. it will make no difference to your grade at all.</p>

<p>i could go on but i guess you get my gist :p</p>

<p>Hey, is anyone here applying for the steinhardt nutrtion program? Or know anyone that is? Or steinhardt’s general transfer acceptance rate? </p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>I heard that Steinhardt is friendly to transfer students
and its acceptance is usually higher that other departments :slight_smile:
so it actually depends on majors
I’m applying for Steinhardt, Art and Art professions
but will change my major to psychology :)</p>

<p>That’s good to hear! I haven’t heard of ANYONE applying for nutrition, so I guess maybe it’s just an unpopular major there…</p>

<p>I have a 3.7 GPA in college (I’m a sophmore now). Here’s to hoping I get in!</p>

<p>I actually applied for Summer 2010, but there’s no thread for that, so I’m joining here! I think we’re all in the same pool anyway, but I wonder if Summer students hear first (just because the first summer session starts on May 17th…) Who knows.</p>

<p>Hey Everyone. I applied to SCPS as a fall 10 transfer for hospitality management. Does anyone know about the acceptance rate for it or have any information about this program?</p>

<p>I recently just got accepted for CAS. My major is Neural Science, but they haven’t sent the financial aid package yet. :confused:
I probably won’t go if there’s a crazy amount of loans</p>

<p>It’s so odd - last year’s transfer thread had so many more posts by this point in time. Any chance that there were fewer transfer applicants in the Fall 2010 pool? I know that the CC crowd is not generally indicative of the average applicant pool, but hey - a girl can be hopeful, right? Congrats, @Firebird91! Anyone get into Steinhardt, yet?</p>
