<p>I'm attending community college in Southern California currently. I just started my second year, and I'm a business major. Here are my stats:</p>
<ul>
<li>3.86 GPA</li>
<li>56 quarter units completed so far (I should be at 100 by the end of this year)</li>
<li>Honors Program</li>
<li>Club Treasurer</li>
<li>Deans List</li>
</ul>
<p>High school is decent; I think somewhere around a 3.3 GPA. Took the SATs for the heck of it my senior year (I knew I was going to CC anyways), got a 1750ish. Could take it again in the next few months.</p>
<p>Now, UNC-CH is at the top of my list because they offer great financial aid to OOS students, and it's typically far easier for transfer students to be accepted.</p>
<p>But I've recently been considering applying to NYU as well, which is why I'm here, haha.</p>
<p>Do you think I have a shot with my stats? And if so, do OOS students pay full tuition at NYU? How much is full tuition?</p>
<p>If it isn't affordable, and you think I don't have a shot, are there any other colleges on the East Coast that are affordable, and I'd have a good shot at (keep in mind, I'm OOS).</p>
<p>NYU is private, meaning OOS and in state tuition is equal. It’s roughly 60K year and don’t expect any financial aid, NYU doesn’t give much if any. Expect to pay or loan out full cost.</p>
<p>As was stated above, NYU is a private university, meaning that everyone pays the same tuition. Tuition + room and board is around $60,000/year. Financial aid to transfers is very poor at NYU, so expect to pay near full sticker price through government loans etc. If you’re worried about the cost of NYU as compared to UNC-CH, UNC will be significantly cheaper. </p>
<p>It’s quite difficult to transfer into Stern, since well… It’s Stern. Your GPA is good, but you will have had to have completed the same courses Stern students would have in order to be considered for Stern acceptance. (E.g. your courses should match the general course program at Stern) </p>
<p>It looks as though you’re on a quarter system? This is going to cause troubles in transferring. Semester based universities will give you 2/3 of the total credits you have taken. And you can only transfer in 64 credits (1/2 of the total credits needed to graduate) due to residency requirements. Meaning you’ll lose at least some credits. The other problem is whether or not Stern will accept quarter credits as Stern equivalencies. This is something you should call Stern to find out about.</p>
<p>If you’re applying for as a Junior transfer (meaning you would start NYU as a Junior in the next coming fall) you don’t need to submit SAT scores, which is good for you. If you’re applying to Stern, don’t send in your SATs; they’ll hurt your chances.</p>
<p>Btw, I know at UNC-CH, you have to complete one semester in their liberal arts program before you can apply to their business school. Is there something similar at NYU? I mean, with such a heavy price tag, I just wanna know how long I’ll be spending at NYU if I was to be accepted as a junior transfer.</p>
<p>Also, I don’t know too much about NYU (except that it’s one of the top schools in the States). BUT, something tells me that the even the $60,000 a year is well worth it…I’m just assuming that the average American cannot afford $60,000 a year, so I’m pretty sure a lot of people are taking out loans.</p>
<p>Yeah, I definitely won’t be submitting my SAT. Once again, thank you for your help guys. Any other information is appreciated.</p>
<p>If you’re planning on taking 60 x 3-4 it really isn’t worth it unless you’re sure you’ll do excellent in Stern (assuming you get into Stern) and land a good finance job at a bank or wall street.</p>
<p>But I don’t think that’s possible to predict.</p>
<p>$180K debt is a lot for any major, Harvard or NYU.</p>
<p>Yeah, you’re right. Just a question though. I mean, NYU is a fairly large school. How do people afford it? Last time I checked, not too many people can afford $60,000 a year :p</p>
