<p>Hi guys! I applied for 2012 spring transfer for the school of education in Steinhardt. It is probably a large reach for me, and I probably won’t be able to afford it, even if by small chance I do get accepted. My sister is applying as a freshman for fall 2012 to Tisch and I think it would be awesome if we both lived in NYC. I just know I have to get out of Florida because it is not a good state for education and they don’t pay their teachers very good Here are my stats:</p>
<p>Florida Community College
GPA: 3.74
74 credits at the end of this semester
ACT: not good, didn’t take the SAT
I’m taking 5 classes now, sent in the midterm report, all A’s
Essays: they were decent, probably average, but I was really specific in talking about their teaching curriculum and how it fit with my attitude towards teaching, etc.
ECs: I had some good ones that really relate to my chosen field, i.e. teacher’s assistant, and assistant cross country coach. I was a competitive figure skater for over eleven years, competed at the highest level. I coached figure skating for Special Olympics too. I am learning sign language and go to Deaf chats, I was also a rape crisis advocate for a short time. </p>
<p>I might apply to Stern as an incoming sophomore. But i don’t know if i should… I don’t want to waste my money to apply if I don’t have a decent chance of getting in. My 1st semester GPA’s 3.82. Kinda low… Hs GPA is probs ~3.7 unweighted (slacked off during senior year…). ACT is okay but not great (32). ECs are alright. My biggest concern is the recs. I don’t have any professors i’m close to. But since the deadline is in April, i’m wondering if it’s possible to get a rec from my 2nd semester profs. I’m lost. Any comments guys?</p>
<p>I want to apply transfer for CAS fall 2012, I’m a psych major at PSU</p>
<p>HS GPA - 3.5
SAT superscore is 1960
College 1st semester GPA 3.93
Boxing club and guitar club
I know my phil teacher’s pretty well so I will ask for the rec, I’m taking a course of hers for the second consecutive semester
Hooks: Spanish international student(?)
I will have 45 credits by the end of my freshman year.</p>
<p>I think I’m going to ask my writing and public speech professor to give me feedback on the responses and the essays, I know my HS GPA and my college ECs aren’t that great(they were better in HS) and I hope my rec is above average, it should not be impossible should it?</p>

<p>What are my chances for NYU stern? I know my high school stats are way below par, but how important are my post HS credentials compare to those? I really need some advices. Thanks in advance</p>
<p>I’m an NYU Spring 2012 transfer and I’ve just finished my second week at NYU. If anyone has any questions about the transfer process feel free to PM me or post a question here (aid, transfer credits, requirements, what’s important etc…). CC definitely helped me when I was applying and I told myself if I get accepted I’d come here and try to help others…so…here I am.</p>
<p>Some stats…</p>
<p>Previous College:
GPA: 3.78 (when applied) 3.83 (after final grades)
Major: Biology
Applied To: CAS (Biology)
ECs: Very very few</p>
<p>I want to apply as a biology major as well. Could you tell me my chances?</p>
<p>Currently a sophomore in a 4 yr private university. I was a pharmd. D major my first three semesters but changed to biology because I really want to become a doctor (took a big chance there!). </p>
<p>High School-
96.63 gpa weighted/94.4 not weighted- upwards trend
Bad SAT scores- 650/670/650
I do not want to send my ACT scores
6 AP courses, 1 college course and the rest are honors
LOTS OF EC’s- president of clubs, 2 honor societies, basketball, volunteered, drama, etc…</p>
<p>University- St. John’s/ pharmd then biology
GPA- 3.8, downwards because I really wasn’t interested in the courses. One bad grade while others are A’s. The bad grade isnt a science or math course.
Part of many organizations, peer educator, volunteer at a hospital and animal shelter, research, etc…
deans list and other honors</p>
<p>In the CAS information page they say that their acceptance rate is somewhere around 10-15% and that competitive applicants would have a 3.7 GPA, but I guess that all freshmen transferring, that includes me, should have something higher if their high school record was not that great.</p>
<p>I’m worried that my first quarter GPA will be my downfall. As a senior in high school, I would have had a very good chance at getting into the school, but my first quarter in college I only have a 3.4 GPA. Hopefully they put more emphasis on my high school record. I really regret not doing more research on potential schools in high school.</p>
<p>Hi everyone I don’t know if I should transfer for Gallatin or Media, Culture, Communications @ Steinhardt :S help! I know I want to work in the media or entertainment industry but I do want to explore writing options and I like the individualized attention @ Gallatin + taking business courses. I dont have THAT good ECs though Here are my stats!</p>
