<p>Due to unfortunate circumstances (depression) resulting in failing a lot of courses and failing to meet a GPA of 2.0, I was dismissed from NYU. I want to know what my chances are if I apply back to school for next Fall Semester 2015. I am currently working two jobs and interning (two of the jobs are related to my major and what I want to do). And would my current job experience help with me getting back to school? I also want to know if anyone knows what NYU (or schools in general) look for when they receive an application from a student who has been dismissed and is re-applying.</p>
<p>First, I’d call admissions and ask if there is a specific process you have to go through to apply for re-admission. I have no direct knowledge of what NYU would want but if I were a college I would want to see: 1) you showing an understanding of and taking responsibility for your prior issues 2) that you have a clear understanding of why it happened and 3) what remedial steps you have taken/are taking to insure that the same problem won’t happen again and (ex. medication/counseling etc.) 4) anything else positive you have done with your time off from school (ex. your internships/jobs)… Good luck.</p>
Thank you! I would have never thought of doing that! Now I’m just in the midst of writing my essay for readmission. Thanks a lot really!!
