Oberlin to NYU Spring 2013 Freshman transfer?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello All,
I am a Freshman currently enrolled at Oberlin College. Figuring out this school wasn't for me came pretty quickly, and I've decided to apply to transfer to Steinhardt for Music Composition, mainly for their Film Scoring program. My portfolio is pretty awesome, as studying in the Conservatory here has helped me improve greatly in those areas, but I contacted the admissions office and they "rarely take spring freshman transfers". I think I am a great candidate for this school personally, but don't want to have to wait a full year to apply again because I didn't wait to apply for Fall 2013. I know I won't have another semester at Oberlin regardless of whether I get in (which is why I am applying to multiple schools) so I don't see how waiting until second semester to apply is really necessary. Here are some of my stats anyway:</p>

<p>HS:
3.5/4 UW
4.1/5 W
2090 SAT </p>

<p>College:
Currently in 1st semester: 14 Conservatory and Liberal Arts Credits
Achieving very well</p>

<p>Is there any advice anyone could give me? I think all of the "chancing" things on this forum are kind of useless in a way since you never know whats going to happen, but just letting me know the type of place I'm in as a transfer would be nice. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I also am looking to transfer to NYU (cas) for spring 2013 as a freshman. Just submitted my application. Have you heard back yet? My high school grades were definitely better than my college grades (in my opinion I would have been accepted to nyu with my hs grades if i applied from hs) and thought was doing myself a favor by applying for spring. Now I’m nervous because you said they rarely accept freshman spring transfers?!</p>
