<p>I'm applying to NYU as a Spring transfer, and I'm getting jittery just waiting around at this point, so I would appreciate it if anyone could give me their opinion on my chances of admission.</p>

<p>HS GPA: 3.6ish UW, 3.9 weighted, full IB program
College GPA: 3.87 after 32 credits (2 semesters)... Barnard will also see mid-year reports which will be all As, bringing my predicted GPA to 3.91, I believe. I'm also in my school's Honors Program.
SATs (old): 1420... 730 v, 690 m</p>

<p>ECs:
-Lots of theatre (acting, backstage work, stage management, tech work, costume/makeup design, directing) 9,10, 11, 12 and currently
-Varsity Volleyball 10, 11, 12... was captain, won a few tournament team awards, Coaches Award and MVP
-Varsity Soccer 9, 10, 11, 12 and in college
-MUN 10, 11, 12... was Deputy Ambassador for one delegation and was admitted to the Conference newspaper staff at The Hague
-was on the SGA in HS and the Community Service Council in HS
-various community service activities throughout HS and currently a member of Campus Lions Club
-an editor of HS newspaper, and maybe a couple other things I'm not remembering right now.</p>

<p>Academic: National Merit "commended" student, Honors Program here, Dean's list one semester, Presidential Scholars list another semester.</p>

<p>Work: Teacher at a Language Immersion camp over the summer (I received a bilingual certificate from IB in French); intern in GaTech's Microsystems Packaging program; some various work as a camp counselor.</p>

<p>At NYU the majors I have indicated are "Politics" and "Dramatic Literature, Theatre History and Cinema." </p>

<p>Sorry for another "what are my chances" post... and thanks again for any advice/opinions.</p>

<p>Where are you transferring from?</p>

<p>The University of Georgia... I know it's ranked in the 50s in national universities, but I don't know how that will translate to an adcomm.</p>

<p>I should also probably mention that I'm applying to CAS at NYU.</p>

5

<p>Anyone? Does anyone have an experience transferring in, or know anyone who has, etc? Thanks!</p>

<p>well I don't have experience transferring in, but you look good to me...real good actually if you can come in with a 3.91 or so GPA, if not this year, definitely next year. Go for it, you are in.</p>

<p>Thanks... I'm hoping I'll get in this time around since NYU has a policy where you can only apply once a year, and I'm not sure how crazy I am about the idea of losing a lot of credits. Although NYU would be an amazing experience, so really it wouldn't be that tragic if I had to. Thanks again :)</p>

<p>I transfered in fall 2001 as a Tisch Drama student. Depending on the program, transferring in can be an uphill battle. I know its harder to transfer into Tisch, but I'm ignorant to the acceptance practices of CAS. The mid year transfer could possibly work to your favor for that particular program, thanks to first semester freshman drop off, and you've got a strong college record, which they'll take in greater consideration than your HS, which thankfully is good.</p>

<p>NYU took all of my credits, and in my senior year an amazing Tisch advisor even reached deep into my transcripts and plugged out an additional two credits from my Community College so that I could graduate on time. In the transfer department, I reall couldn't have asked for a better experience.</p>

<p>Wow, that's amazing that they helped so much with your credits. Makes the school look even more amazing than it already did. Thanks for your help.</p>
