Official 2014 NYU Transfer Thread

<p>@crazynewton‌ hey dude stay positive. no one knows! :slight_smile: my friend applied the night before it’s due, so I believe she applied on the 31st of March.</p>

<p>I also think the decision might be sent out tomorrow. I applied to 13 other universities, and most of them released their decisions on Friday so that you can’t complain during the weekend.</p>

<p>@Ftgirl‌ Yeah. honestly i think i was pretty under qualified, but NYU is really close with my High School and I have a connection there so i think that boosted me. </p>

<p>high school I had a 3.7 GPA in a NYC prep school (close ties with NYU)
I had a 25 on the ACT (but my high school is non testing so they’d understand that)</p>

<p>College first semester 3.0 at University of Maryland College Park
Wrote my essay about how I was born and raised in NYC and once i left i realized that i learn best in a city environment and that I could apply myself much better in the city by doing internships during the year, ect. </p>

<p>I also had a lot of EC’s in high school like sports teams, community service, mission trips, Internships at Barneys NY. </p>

<p>@mae742‌ that’s pretty good! Congratulations! </p>

<p>Accepted to Tisch 7:34 this morning :’)</p>

<p>Also was wondering, where do you check financial aid? (This one’s the biggest nail biter for me)</p>

<p>Thanks @natand‌. Wish you the best of luck. I too applied the night before. When did you apply?</p>

<p>i know we had to send our midterm grades for this semester, but did anyone send in their final spring semester grades/transcript?</p>

<p>FYI: transfer students would NOT get housing this year:</p>

<p>"Fall 2014: Housing for transfer students is not guaranteed. With the closing of Hayden Hall for the 2014-2015 academic year, we do not anticipate being able to offer housing to anyone who does not have a guarantee of housing. "</p>

<p>If you have not seen me on this thread before then ignore the name. This is my brothers account he used to transfer to rutgers. I was never asked to send in my midterm grades and never did. We’re we supposed to automatically? I called admissions at the end of April and they said they have everything and to just wait for a decision. This makes me more nervous now.</p>

<p>@keliojames955‌ It also says if you fill out the housing app by May 23rd, you’ll find out the likelihood of on-campus placement by June 2nd. </p>

<p>Will they refund the 1,000 deposit if we don’t get housing you think?</p>

<p>@Mae742 It’s almost always non-refundable.</p>

<p>Nope, pretty sure no housing. Yes you can fill the app out but I’m very certain that you won’t get housing.</p>

<p>Well that sucks. Anyone looking for a roommate? lol</p>

<p>Hi everyone! I just discovered this thread! I applied to Steinhardt. Still haven’t received a decision and my financial aid has not changed. </p>

<p>looks like its time to apartment hunt haha</p>

<p>How can they do that? That’s pretty unfair if you ask me. Would it be cheaper to rent your own apartment (with roommates, as opposed to living on campus?)</p>

<p>Is this based on a first come first serve basis? If we apply by May 23, there is a higher chance that they’ll match us up with on campus living?</p>

<p>^I have called them and no it’s not first come first serve and they basically said there’s no way they would offer transfer student housing.</p>

<p>On campus would be cheaper. I did some research, for a decent housing expect $2000+ for 1 bedroom and ~$3000-$4000 for 2 bedroom to live in East Village or . Although you can always choose off-off-off-campus for cheaper price.</p>

<p>So why would we put down the $1000 deposit and fill out the housing application if we’re not going to get anything anyways?</p>

<p>Well I put down my $1000 deposit too. But I called and they basically said only put the deposit when they offer you housing.</p>

<p>So I’m crossing my figure right now that I’ll get my non-refundable $1000 deposit back.</p>

<p>Sorry, I’m not really understanding - you said you already put down your $1000 deposit, but NYU said to only put down the deposit if/when they offer you housing? I thought you had already paid it. And isn’t it contradictory that you can get a non-refundable deposit back?</p>
