<p>I wanted to know if anyone knows if it is more challenging to transfer as a spring transfer vs. fall. I've already started my freshman year and I've already planned to transfer. The next couple of weeks will decided if I can take it for a whole year, or if getting out needs to be asap. Any opinions? Thanks so much</p>
<p>It depends on the university to which you intend to apply.</p>
<p>Okay- let me get more specific- I am intrested in trasnferring as a freshman to Fordham University or Eugene Lang College (New School University)</p>
<p>Thank you again</p>
<p>hahah i was gonna give you so much input.. then i read nspeds comment on it depends on which college... and i was like damn he/she's right..... i was only gonna give you input on Fordham University... and then bam thats what you wanted.. hahah i thought that was crazy..... anywhoo i am also looking at Fordham and Eugene Lang too!!</p>
<p>so hears the deal.. i had my interview with Fordham on Aug11 and i got a lot of transfer questions with an admissions counselor.... basically hear's the gist. If you desperately need a dorm or just want one in general there are basically no spaces for transfers in the Fall, but because a lot of students study abroad during Spring, many dorms become available.... the transfer rate for both Semesters are pretty much the same... but the admissions lady stressed the fact that dorms arenon-existent for transfer students... and neither is aid. The dorm info was for the LC Campus keep in mind... The admissions counserlor said that Rose Hill does have more space for dorms.. but campus is in the Bronx... and since you mentioned Eugene Lang.. I assumed you wanted to stay in Lower Manhattan.....</p>
<p>With that said... I hope that answers some of your questions... I'm hoping to transfer after this year (my freshman year) too.... My original hopes were for Fordham LC... but lack of aid and lack of dorms discouraged me so much.....</p>
<p>IM me for any other questions... ledomenica... also if you have any info on Eugene Lang.... i would most appreciate it! I am seriously looking into Lang....</p>
<p>I'm not sure about whether or not it's easier, but if you haven't taken and passed enough AP/IB/Dual Enrollment classes , you might not be able to transfer until fall.</p>
<p>ledo, is the fin aid situation different if you want to be on the Rose Hill Campus? Fin aid is definitely a major concern to me. I want to apply for transfer in the Fall 2006 semester.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your information. I'm leaving for school this sunday, but I'm attending a University that doesn't have the intensive training i'm looking for- so basically it's been m plan all along to transfer. I'm going to see how auditions are, and how my professors are, until making my fall/spring decision. If I absolutley cannot take it there, I'll put in for spring. If it's tolerablefor the year being, the i'll put in for fall. I have wanted to go to Fordham/ Eugene Lang for a while now. I am from new york, but attending a school in Mass. I wasn't allowed by my parents to go to school in the city for the first year, but after that I coul go anywhere. I refuse not to live in the city this/ next year! I am kinda already a little overwhelmed over the transfer process already/ getting new audition material, but i'm going to take it one step at a time and see how my first week goes. I'd love to keep sharing information with you and hopefully get through this irritating transfer-ing process together! Best of luck!</p>
<p>ScoobyGurl - the financial aid for transfer students seeking to transfer to Fordham does not exist (unfortunately)... and that info goes for both Rose Hill and Lincoln Center... even Marymount campus. They emphasized the fact that transfer students are not awarded any merit-based aid and the only way to get any money was to go through outside organizations. So, with that info alone, Fordham went from being my #1 choice to my #9 out of 10 choice....</p>
<p>so I'm on the eugene lag website right now- and their transfer policy keeps confusing me- maybe it's just me but-"Transfer credit is awarded depending on courses taken and grades received. A maximum of 60 credits is accepted, as students must complete at least 60 credits in residence at the College" So, does that mean we HAVE to complete 60 credits before applying for transfer? I plan to transfer after my freshman yera (i'll have 30) and possibly after my first sememster (15!) I am so confused!</p>
<p>avtussel07 - The 60 credit thing theyre referring to is for Eugene Lang College. They don't have a required number of credits needed for transfer, all they want is for you to complete 60 credits AT Lang (which translates to about 2 years in residence).</p>
<p>It would seriously suck if I had to have 60 credits before I could transfer... when I read it before I was confused too, but now I understand and I hope you do too.</p>
<p>Thanks for that info ledo. Yeah, since fin aid isn't offered to transfers, I don't think I'll be applying now as I know I'll need fin aid. Too bad.</p>
<p>thank you so much ledo- I know- At first I read it and was like "NOOOO!!! I want to transfer way before 60 credits!" Good to know- ahhh relief- I love that part of the application is the optio of the 2 minutes of video/pictures..etc. I am having a difficult time thinking of something unique and clever- You don't want to send in the same trite, unoriginal video of "Hi...my name is x, and I live in x, and I like your school because yadda yadda yadda" Ahhh my brain muscles hate me!</p>
<p>I was also thinking about transfering to fordham (LC) this spring. so...does this mean i will be homeless and broke? there is NO housing or financial aid for transfers?</p>
<p>scoobygurl, what do u mean financial aid isnt offered for lang transfers?</p>
