<p>Hi, Unfortunately due to my poor grades i was accepted into St Johns university as a computer science major, nyit as a computer engineering major, and Pace and a computer science major. My question is if i plan on transferring to NYU poly or another school which school would be better for me if i want to transfer after 2 years. NYIT is not known, but it is an engineering school. St Johns is only known for its medical / law program and not its computer science program. So which college should i go to if i plan on transfering to another school?</p>
<p>anyone there?</p>
<p>NYU Poly is better than the all others you mentioned. The CS program at NYU is very competitive and it attracts many financial companies that hire algorithm developers/software engineers. </p>
<p>NYU Poly also offers more aid if you attend all four years. Transferring is a good idea if you know your gpa will stay above 3.5 otherwise there is no money since it’s reserved for incoming freshman.</p>
<p>thanks for your input greenvison but my question is if i wanted to transfer TO nyu poly which of these schools should i attend to maximize my chances of getting in, because NYIT is an engineering school but st johns is more known but not for its CS program</p>
<p>Have you considered attending a CUNY community college for the first two years and then transfer to NYU Poly once you are done with your Assoicate degree? I think this is even better than wasting so much $ at St. John or NYIT.</p>
<p>hi sharptech, i should be able to go to NYIT for free with my scholarship + financial aid, and ill probably have to pay 5 grand for St johns after scholarships + financial aid so i rather not go to a community college. Im still not sure as to which college i should go to, to maximize my chances when i transfer.</p>
<p>Stay away from St. John’s. Please.</p>
<p>lol why, may i ask?</p>
<p>OK then NYIT it is.</p>
<p>So… im not 100% sure im going to major in engineering so i think ill go with st johns? any opinions on this?</p>
<p>anyone? bump</p>
<p>You have to decide which direction your life goes before throwing away four years of hard work only to realize that you took the wrong turn.</p>
<p>I agree with greenvision, but I also suggest that you go to NYIT or a community college. If you can afford St. Johns, then go for it. I suggest NYIT because you can try out a couple of classes that you plan to major in, and then if you don’t like it, you didn’t spend any money.</p>
<p>but st johns isnt known for its CS program + i have to pay 8grand, nyit the school itself isnt known either but i have full tuition covered…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s what I said… Go with NYIT because it’s cheaper.</p>
<p>I went to NYIT my freshman year of college. It is a horrific excuse for a college and one of the best choices I ever made was leaving there for a Suny school. It is better than any Cuny school and better than any community college, but it simply does not compare to real University. I went to the Manhattan campus. </p>
<p>It is horrible, but not the worst I have seen and given that its free, I suggest you go there for a year, take some core classes and transfer. </p>
<p>Stay away from professor Nash, he is the worst. I mean worst math professor I have ever seen.</p>
<p>NYIT is not a hard school, grades are usually easy and the location is not bad. </p>
<p>When you transfer you have 3 choices in NYC for CSE</p>
<p>NYU
Columbia or
Cooper Union</p>
<p>The rest are pure trash. Check out Suny Stony Brook or Buffalo. Both are cheap and offer a incredibly good CS education, far better than anything you can find in nyc(minus schools above).</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
