Hey all. So I intend to try to transfer to NYU. I’m at a low-ranked and overall uninspired state school /for my major/, though it’s a good school for other majors, and though I’m attending for a low cost. I really want to go to NYU Gallatin. I feel like I’m not able to explore myself as much as I want to at my current school, and the challenging and rewarding makeup of the Gallatin school is exactly what I want. I adore NYC. If I don’t get in, I will be content staying at my state school, but I know I need to try.
I just need to know whether to apply for the Fall 2021 or Spring 2021. So you have all the information, I have a lease in my current college city for a year, but it’s next to nothing price wise, it’s a cheap part of the city. I’m vice president of my debate team and I treasure this position, though NYU has a debate team. I am currently attending for nearly free. My beloved boyfriend is in my current city. My GPA will certainly be higher after this Fall’s grades, and will give me a better shot at acceptance. This would all lend itself towards applying for Fall 2021, right?
But Gallatin is so unique in that the more time spent in the curriculum, or lack thereof ahah, the better. I want to write my letter of intent for my courses of study at the same time as everyone else: end of sophomore year. And I’m truly eager to start the rest of my life.
My bf says to apply for Spring and if I don’t get in, apply for Fall. My fear is getting in in the Spring and not wanting to go until the fall.
I know you all can’t make this decision for me. But if you were me, when would you apply, Spring or Fall 2021?
