Official 2014 NYU Transfer Thread

<p>To those who are wondering. I sent in my transcripts and stuff in mid-Feb and yet my status shows only my application has been received. Called them and they said they havent updated applicants’ statuses, but they did receive all my transcripts and stuff. so no worry if your account does not show. :)</p>

<p>Is it possible we could be receiving some word in the next 3 days? (For Tisch at least?)</p>

<p>@greengecko‌ I hope so! I’m becoming so anxious about this whole application process. I feel like its been forever since I applied (even though it was just 15 days ago). I think we should know this week or next week. My friend emailed the school a while back and they said we will know before the end of April. On the website it said mid-April so I say we should know this week or the next. </p>

<p>@sorakeybade Finally got my confirmation email this morning! Thanks for your reassurance, I was going nuts. Only my application fee has been checked off. Hopefully Tisch sends out their decisions soon.</p>

<p>I hope you guys are right. But I don’t understand why we would receive any decisions any time soon when I (probably along with a lot of people) still don’t have my NYU Albert updated at all. I also haven’t received my confirmation that Tisch School of Arts received my application. (I got one when I applied as a freshman) Any thoughts on this?</p>

<p>@greengecko I just looked at the transfer thread for last year again. People were still being accepted into Tisch through early may so it’s hard to say when we will hear back, but they do start rolling out admissions in mid-april. Some people were admitted without everything being checked off in Albert. I haven’t received anything from Tisch exclusively, but that is to be expected since I applied on the deadline and only received my application acknowledgment from NYU this morning. </p>

<p>Also, from what I gather they tend to release decisions on Tuesdays and Thursdays so we can all stop refreshing our emails daily lol. </p>

<p>One more thing. The last of the Tisch acceptances were sent on May 9th last year. On May 14th applicants were notified of their placement on the wait list. Bear in mind this is only what people have posted on last years thread and obviously doesn’t take all instances of admission into account. I’m sure there are some exceptions to the rule.</p>

<p>Hi everyone, I am a freshman this year and I applied to transfer to NYU Tisch for the Fall 2014 semester. I have a high school GPA of 2.7 and a College GPA of 3.7. My SATs are at 1860 with a critical reading score of 770. My portfolio is very strong and my application film is strong as well. I have a production company in my city that I operate, have experience directing 10 shorts, a feature film, 5 online ad campaigns, and several music videos. My work has been featured on College Humor, the Chive, and in the Huffington Post, and I have been in film festivals in Baltimore and Manhattan. </p>

<p>Do you guys think I have a shot in majoring in film at Tisch? </p>

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

<p>@MekkiLeeper‌ It depends. Can you post your Tisch Visual Sample?</p>

<p>@mekkileeper Wow that is impressive! I wish I had a body of work as comprehensive as you do! I think it’s a crapshoot. No one really knows why Tisch picks who they pick. I’ve seen some people with high GPA and SAT scores get rejected while low stats get in. I think it really depends on what they think will benefit the class as a whole. Your portfolio resume and upward trend in GPA will definitely help! Some say it’s 50/50 academics/portfolio. I’d say you have a good a chance as any. I would also love to see some of your work if you feel like posting it or PMing it. </p>

<p>Anyone else notice if Tisch viewed their artistic submission? I only know they viewed mine because the links I provided to them have one view each and no one but them had the address. </p>

<p>@theyadoreyou I’m not sure how accurate that evidence is. Are you saying, you yourself have not viewed your artistic submission? I feel like that would worry me if I blindly submitted a video without knowing if there were any glitches or whatnot. </p>

<p>I really can’t say one way or another if Tisch viewed your video. We’ll just have to wait and see…!</p>

<p>@greengecko Vimeo lets you track the date it was viewed. I submitted it on the 1st of April and it was viewed on the 9th (not by me obviously lol) The test runs I did in slideroom did not affect my view count. </p>

<p>@theyadoreyou‌ Well there you go. Sorry I undermined you! You’re probably right then. </p>

<p>@theyadoreyou‌ No need to thank me haha. I was going through this for plenty of other schools as well. Glad to hear they received your materials.</p>

<p>Also, anyone here applying to CAS?</p>

<p>Or Stern?</p>

<p>Has anyone been asked to send a midterm report? </p>

<p>@hope2transfer12‌ No, I haven’t been asked for my midterm report. Have you? </p>

<p>I just sent it :D</p>
