<p>@Evry1lovej: I didn’t apply to Stern so I can’t really give you the most accurate answer, but I’m in a really similar position. I missed a lot of high school due to personal problems and failed multiple classes. I also got held back a grade and then dropped out halfway through my junior year. </p>
<p>During the past year, I’ve enrolled in college, taken the SAT, and gotten my GED. I’m only 17 but I will be attending NYU as a sophomore. So basically, yes, it is possible to overcome a terrible high school record and get accepted! Good luck!</p>
<p>@bosbr100 I wouldn’t recommend it. They say not to send more than they ask for because they have a lot of applications to review. I actually sent in four recommendations for some reason, which I felt really bad about later. They already have your transcript and mid-term report, so you should be good.</p>
<p>Edit: And thank you! I’ve definitely come a long way, but I was still in disbelief that I was accepted. I mean, my high school transcript was pathetic, and I only got a 3.66 my first semester of college. Maybe I’m one of those “wildcard” picks. Who knows?</p>
<p>JaguarPaw, thanks. I won’t send it, definitely haha. I also sent some additional materials and I felt bad later on too.
And I’m sure you had something that stood out for them </p>
<p>Okay, so it’s Thursday. Definitely more people will get decisions today.</p>
<p>So I went back to last year’s thread to check for any trends and saw that many Tisch people got responses on May 17th, a Thursday. I don’t know if that’s specific to last year, but I just have a feeling it’ll be sometime in mid-May this year as well-- maybe the 16th (Thursday in two weeks)? I can’t wait anymore though. Ugh :(</p>
<p>It’s hard to tell when we will find out. Mid-May is kinda late considering the deposits due in other schools =/ I really hope more people get their decision tomorrow.</p>
<p>Bosbr: the majority of MCC people got their decisions on May 27th last year. When you say “the other courses” I get kinda confused. There werent prereqs for MCC were there? Sure hope not!</p>
<p>Also, for film transfers, dont we have to start in the summer? one of the summer sessions starts may 27 I believe. How can they expect someone to be prepared for that kind of transition in days?</p>
<p>Stern applicant here…hoping for news tomorrow regarding my admission decision. Don’t care if its good or bad at this point…as long as it’s news.</p>
<p>@jaguarpaw
Thanks buddy, this first semester I have a 3.8 and my midterm report A-,A, B+. I have lots of extracurricular such as hurricane sandy volunteer. Two jobs last summer, internship and a job I’m holding now. I hope they take it all to consoderation.</p>
<p>I applied to transfer last year too. Admission decisions were released so late because they pushed the deadline to April 30th instead of April 1.</p>
