Realistic NYU Stern Chances, please!!

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hey guys, i found this board through researching online. Like every student who second guesses his/her chances to get into their ideal school, i frantically searched "minimum requirements for <your school="" name="" here=""> Transfers" on google and came up with this site.</your></p>

<p>Anyways, i've been reading a lot of these posts, but i couldn't resist posting up my own stats. Their a little shaky in my point of view, so hopefully you guys could either shed some light, or smack some sense into me. Either one, and i'll be grateful. </p>

<p>Current School: SUNY Purchase College, undeclared.
1st Semester GPA: 3.68 (Aiming for no less than a 3.9 this semester, and fairly confident in pulling it off)
(22 Credits Completed, 18 on its way, totaling 40 after one full year of college.)
EC's: Deans List, CFO for campus record label, planning on running for VP for the newly founded Economics club, I'm a musician and i have many participations in charity events, town fairs, etc. (hoping to send in a CD of my work to show my diversity in hobbies). I also have won a couple of championships at an adult hockey league near my town. </p>

<p>I guess you can say i was the typically underachiever in high school. GPA, SAT's their all borderline pathetic, but theres nothing i can do about that now. The first half of my first semester was much how i handled high school, until i had my wake up call/near death crisis that really opened my eyes. Started to gun it in the 2nd half, and thats the reason why my 1st semester grade is not as high as i would have liked. </p>

<p>Planning on enrolling in Calc and Micro during the summer....have macro, accounting, english, anthro, and all that jazz under my belt, or will have it by the end of spring. </p>

<p>Very confident in my writing abilities and for my essay. As well as my teacher recs. </p>

<p>Like i said, either shed some light, or smack some sense into me. Just want honesty here. Thanks guys, really appreciate it :)</p>

<p>bump, </p>

<p>my high school gpa was an average of 82/100.</p>

<p>any thoughts guys? please, any comments would really enlighten me.</p>

3

<p>22 credits in one semester?????</p>

4

<p>6 of them were from a college course taken at my high school. i took a Syracuse University English course my senior year(aka, project advance). </p>

<p>16 Credits from one semester, 22 completed so far. Sorry for not elaborating on that in the original post.</p>

5

<p>i am from a community college , therefore, i am kind of amateurish on 4-year transfer. One thing I know is that you must have a very good reason for transfer.</p>

6

<p>yehh, i'm aware of that. i plan on expressing my reasons, motives, personality, and abilities on the essay to its best potential.</p>

7

<p>anyone else? any other comments?</p>
