<p>I'm a freshman at another college but want to apply transfer to NYU for the 2007 Spring Term. I called admissions and while they said they'd consider my app, they much rather prefer transfers to be at least one year removed from high school. It sounded like they might not even consider an applicant such as myself =( which gets me wondering - anyone on this board who's in the same situation, or was, or knows anyone? Anyone a current NYU student who got in this way? If so, what was your major? I'm planning on doing Sport Management in the Tisch center @ the SCPS...</p>
<p>You can't wait another semester? It's generally good to take the Admissions Office's advice for applicants.</p>
<p>I'd probably better off waiting until next semester to apply, but the Sports Management curriculum seems very specific and I believe I'd have a very hard time transferring credits (I'm a Poli Sci major this current term). I wouldn't want an entire year's worth of credits to go down the drain, especially with the cost of NYU.</p>
<p>by a full year, does NYU mean apply in the spring for the fall or wait for fall 2007 to apply</p>
<p>I have two kids (one a recent NYU graduate) and the other one an undergrad, and they have/had roommates, friends, and acquantances who transferred into NYU from other colleges/universities for the Spring (January) semester of their freshman year. Also, the opposite occurs whereby there are some NYU freshman students who choose for one reason or another to transfer out of NYU to other colleges/universities after the Fall semester of their freshman year. When NYU is referring to "a full year", that means that you can apply to transfer to NYU for the Fall, 2007 semester in the Spring semester of your freshman year. Transfer applications for the Fall semester are due in the Spring. You can check the information/details on the NYU Admissions website under Transfer Admissions. You might want to contact the office of the Dean of Student Affairs of the specific NYU school/program that you are interested in applying to in order to find out exactly what the requirements are for admission; it would also be helpful to verify the information with an Admissions rep from the specific NYU school (CAS, Steinhardt, etc.).<br>
Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks for the info nyumom. I'm not sure, but I from the way the admissions rep on the phone sounded, it seems as if NYU is soon looking to stop considering such applicants as myself and your son/daughter's who want to transfer in during the middle of their freshman year.</p>
<p>Do you know if your son/daughter's friends were accepted as transfer applicants, or were they accepted out of high school and deferred NYU for a semester?</p>
<p>QNYergrl,
That's a good question. I will have to ask my undergrad if she knows the circumstances under which this student started in January. I'll keep you posted if I find out the answer. In the meantime, however, it might be worth your while to try to see if you can actually meet with someone from the school/department in which you are interested in studying and speak with someone (perhaps an advisor) who can give you more information /advice with regard to applying. This might prove to be helpful before you apply, because at least you'll have an idea as to how to proceed and take it from there. For some departments, it may be a situation where there actually has to be a specific spot that is open, and/or applications might be considered on a case-by-case basis. That's why it would probably be beneficial to explain your situation/ask pertinent questions to the person who would be best at addressing your concerns.
Good luck.</p>
<p>NYU does not allow spring transfers for freshmen. My roommate has worked at the Admissions office for two years and he's never heard of one. Here's what the NYU Admissions b/b says:</p>
<p>I think your right, matth. If anything, freshman may be allowed to apply for the Spring Term, but may only be accepted under the condition of matriculating at the start of the next fall term.</p>
<p>matth: If you take a look at the actual NYU Undergraduate Admissions application, under the heading "Transfer Admission", it states "If you have been in college less than a year, your high school record will be an important consideration for admission".<br>
Best wishes.</p>
<p>nyumom, you're right! The reference to that on the application is fact. If you're only a freshman in your current college, your h/s stats will be an important part of the transfer admissions decision. If you're a sophomore, that importance will be less and more emphasis will be placed on your college record. The reason it makes that statement is that many transfer applicants apply during their freshman year, but they're not applying for spring admission, they're applying for admission for the following fall. There is no spring admission for freshmen because they have to have completed a minimum of 30 credits prior to transfer.</p>
<p>I guess it's somehow ungodly possible that she/he completed like 30 credits in the first semester... O_o</p>
<p>Hehe, sounds pretty impossible. I wouldn't be surprised if some CC overachiever tries to do it though...</p>
<p>See, now my question is, "completed" or "have"? With AP credits, it's entirely possible to have more than 30 credits at the end of the first semester, but it's pretty much impossible to have completed 30 credits in college at that point.</p>
<p>Ooo! That idea gets me pretty excited, shades children. I still wouldn't reach 30 credits, but I'd be a lot closer if my APs counted towards it.</p>
<p>Sadly APs do not count, that's what I last heard. You must have a min of 30 credits of taken classes...</p>
<p>Hell, I can't actually FIT 30 credits in my schedule...</p>
