<p>Extremely sorry to hear that Polenadreel. </p>
<p>Stern transfer admissions are unbelievably competitive though so don’t feel bad. I am starting to seriously doubt my chances too :(</p>
<p>i applied march 13th</p>
<p>Dhruvds/ Can u post ur stat if u don’t mind</p>
<p>BU Freshman, 18 Credits: 3.87
Extremely Strong LOR, and transfer essay.
Infact, Im just going to post my essay on here:</p>
<p>My peers often call me a workaholic perfectionist. While some may feel geeky accepting such a tag in college, I take it as compliment. It makes me believe that I constantly perform above the norm, and strive to further challenge myself academically and professionally. While Boston University has provided me with a solid grounding in introductory managerial skills, it has yet to challenge my true academic potential. This hinders my learning as I only thrive when challenged, in competitive situations. Stern on the other hand, will not only provide me with an exceptionally bright student body to compete with, but also New York City, which is probably the most competitive environment an aspiring manager could be in.
The faculty at Stern is one of the main reasons why its my only school of choice. Not only is it world renowned for its teaching skills, but the majority of the professors in it have proven and continue to prove their influence in the real business world. As Dean Henrys letter states, Sterns faculty has been instrumental in government policymaking since the 1930s. Just knowing that Sterns faculty members helped the country recover from the great depression proved to me, the real power of its knowledge. Moreover, many professors continue to work while teaching. This makes me believe that their knowledge is more relevant than that of professors at other schools, who base theirs purely on theory and past experience.
Plus Sterns faculty can provide me with leadership role models, and an opportunity to further develop my leadership skills. Whether its something small like mapping out directions for a family trip, or more significant like community work performed by my High Schools Student Council, people have mentioned to me how I like to take charge. But I never realized I was a leader until I joined BUs introductory management class, Management as a System. This class consists of multiple team projects, which are graded using team members individual feedback* on the rest of the team. In their feedback, my team recognized me as their leader. Leadership skills can only be perfected by practice and observation of other successful leaders, both of which I will easily seek out at Stern.
The Investment Analysis Group at Stern is an excellent example of why I would fit in better at NYU than BU. Its mission states, We at IAG no longer look at IAG as a recreational club. While school clubs usually focus a lot on connecting students to the “real” world via networking events, we seek to actualize the potential of our members by fostering an environment of real possibilities. While BUs Investment and Finance Club focuses on hosting a series of tutorials, which are very informative, I would definitely gain more useful experience in the interactive environment that the IAG provides.
When I visited Stern during Spring break, standing outside I saw many diverse people. But as diverse as they were, they all looked confident and driven. This reassured me that Stern is where I belong.

<p>hookedongtown, what are your stats?</p>
<p>@pole I guess your essays didn’t blow everyone elses out of the water like you said on a previous post. </p>
<p>This is why arrogance should be toned down.</p>
<p>Castiel, dont be mean yo, he may really have written a good essay. There are SO many factors that come into play when it comes to admissions.</p>
<p>At the same time though, whats your opinion on my essay? lol</p>
<p>High School in India: 4.0 GPA (6/70)
SAT: 2060 (I know it’s super mediocre).
8 A’s in A’levels (Cambridge High Achiever)</p>
<p>McGill University: 3.8 GPA
Freshman.</p>
<p>lol yeah, that is a pretty mean thing to say</p>
<p>Of course that was a mean thing to say. But I had to. I have no sympathy for arrogance and neither do admission committees. </p>
<p>I just wanted everyone to know, for the benefit of future applicants to watch your arrogance or it could cost you admissions.</p>
<p>@Dhruvds: You presented a fine essay that gave some insight to Stern. With your stats I would say you would get in :D</p>
<p>@hookedongtown: a 2060 is more than enough for a transfer admissions sat score, a 2100 is solid score for freshman, so a 2060 is fine. I honestly think you would get into Stern as well.</p>
<p>By no means am I trying to be a ******bag, I am just trying to say please don’t be pretentious, schools HATE that, especially NYU</p>
<p>why is this thread changing focus?? Everybody, please only post stuff relating to NYU transfer admissions!</p>
<p>btw, he has Cornell (an Ivy League school) lol.</p>
<p>@poleandreel:</p>
<p>I am sorry if I offended you in a previous post. Admissions at Stern is very hard, so I wish you the best if you decide to apply to such a fine program again. </p>
<p>I wish you the best</p>
<p>I could get into NYU cas by just putting my nuts on the application. and actually i know for a fact they didnt suck bc i had the author of the book “welcome to shirley” read my essay and she said it was amazing. shes a grad professor at Columbia so obviously she has more credibility than your stupid @ss. and everyone else i sent the essay too said it was outstanding. so grow up and dont challenge someone to an argument when they are smarter than you.</p>
