<p>Unfortunately last semester I had two B's, an A, and an A-, resulting in a 3.4 GPA. This semester I'm taking 20 credits, and though a B is possible in one of my classes (Calculus), a C is just as likely. Would NYU reject someone with a C? I'm so nervous, I really don't like my school and I want to go to NYU so badly. I'm not a C student at all, but I guess just taking all those insane courses caught up to me. Next semester I will be taking 20 credits again, but in classes much more specific to my major (Sociology). Would NYU greatly look down upon a C this semester even if I do much better next semester? Thanks!!</p>
<p>Two B's an A and a A-...hmm. Sorry if I am a little judgemental but i think you are overreacting just a teeny bit, homie. :-) And you know your grades better than I do, but just breathe, relax, and smile! Don't dictate your grades, let the teacher do it for you. If you are really concerned meet up with that teacher and let him/her know that you care and also let him know that you are trying to transfer and are doing everything in your power to get your grades in order. The conversation will go a long way I assure you. Try your best not to worry, k?</p>
<p>If it makes you feel better, I am applying for a transfer into NYU (Steindhardt School of Education because I want to be a grade school teacher) for next year as well and it is at the TOP of my list. If you would like, we can help each other out so maybe we'll both end up getting the *$^) out of our schools sooner rather than later! Leave one.</p>
<p>It depends on the difficulty of your classes.</p>
<p>For instance, if you are getting a C to intro to micro.. that is not good.
BUT, if you are getting a B or even a C in like Differential Equations.. that may be ok.</p>
<p>I'm applying to stern.
Near/should be 4.0</p>
<p>Oh and in reading over my post, I realizes that I didn't answer ur question at all. :-P I dont think NYU will look down too badly upon the potential C, seeing as Calculus doesn't seem to be your major. Just try as much as possible to concentrate on Sociology. They need to see that you are good in that. Honestly, I would be more concerned about looking good on the app if I got an A in Math and then like a B in a Sociology class. Also, you need to KILL the teacher recommendations and the essay. NYU needs to know 1. that teachers are in love with you and highly recommend you as a potential top student in the NYU program, and 2. that if you are going to leave NYU with a Soc degree and write a book that it's not a crappy one. Hope that helped a little or, at the very least, calmed your nerves. One.</p>
<p>I don't want to act like the admissions board or anything, but I do want to calm your worries. I got accpeted to NYU this past year as a transfer with a 3.56 GPA (not amazing I know). I was accepted to CAS as an english major. </p>
<p>I will also say that it really helps to talk to your teachers!!! They really are understanding. Some of my grades suffered a bit simply because I was unhappy with where I was and because I was trying to fill out all the transfer forms and work on my present course work. Talk to your professors about this!!! Explain that you're trying to be in two places at once and it's hard. Once I talked to all of my teachers, the semester got much easier. Most teachers want you to do well and to be happy - even if that means leaving their school - they'll help you out, they may be able to explain to the school that while your gpa isn't amazing, you attend every class and work really hard, etc.</p>
<p>I think the most important thing is WHY you want to go to NYU - make a strong case. And be honest. Good luck!</p>
<p>Lizze your GPA is pretty good, how many credits did you have? Also, what were your SAT scores and your high school GPA??? I heard NYU takes those scores into consideration more, the less credits you have.</p>
<p>sats 1340
i had three sat II tests that averaged around 640
high school gpa = 3.5
i am halfway through my sophomore year, when i applied i had completed 32 credits (end of freshman year).<br>
hope that helps</p>
<p>oh - i had also applied to nyu while i was in high school and was not accepted - maybe applying as a transfer and showing them that i was still interested helped. i really don't know though</p>
<p>I have the same concern. I just got a c+ in calc and am a Brown hopeful. I am a neuroscience major. </p>
<p>Do schools take into consideration the difficulty of your current school?</p>
<p>I almost got a B-. Do colleges see a big differnce between a c+ and a b-?</p>
<p>BrownEyedGirl --- I don't know, but I sympathize</p>
<p>Browneyes girl don't worry about your C I had two on my transcripts but I was accepted. The important thing is that you put an awesome application together. Your major also will play a role. NYU is not impressed by the umber of units you take but the grades that you get in them. Would it be b etter for you to take 16 units and get better grades in them?</p>
<p>transfering to NYU.. just wondering...
do you recommend going to community college in New York city area or going to schools such as rutsger, Boston College, etc... to apply to transfer?
which one do you think would yield a higher possibility of acceptance</p>
<p>I know some NY community colleges have transfer agreements with NYU, so that's probably a better alternative if that's where you would like to go.</p>
<p>which are they?</p>
<p>Gaussgodden-</p>
<p>see</p>
<p>Update: I got a B- in the class. How much will that hurt?</p>
<p>say you want to transfer to NYU
however the school of education doesn't offer any degree
such as Economics..
what are the odds that you transfer to gallentin and CAS from a CCTOP college in NYC?
since gallentin and CAS dont have the agreement like the school of education does?</p>
<p>are the community college transfers in NYC have higher probability than other 4 years schools?</p>
<p>how hard is gallatin to transfer too? What about cas?</p>
<p>how difficult it is, to transfer from community college in NYC (eg. Cuny college) to School of Gallatin?</p>
<p>Hey, I really don't mean to sound rude, but do you think you could post your questions in another thread? I wouldn't mind at all if they were related to my post, but you'll probably get more responses if you put them in a new thread because they really don't have anything to do with my question. Thanks!</p>
