<p>Help!</p>

<p>I applied to Stern for Fall 2006 and I'm wondering what my chances of acceptance are! </p>

<p>I'm at a community college in California with over 60 units and a 3.85 GPA.</p>

<p>My high school GPA was a 3.6. I didn't do so great on the ACT though.</p>

<p>I have all the prereq's except the Accounting courses and followed a liberal arts curriculum.</p>

<p>I studied abroad at Oxford University in Spring 2005.</p>

<p>I'm also taking Scholar's Honor classes at my cc. </p>

<p>I work part-time and also volunteer.</p>

<p>Anyone? Your opinion would be GREATLY appreciated! =D</p>

<p>yeah, i go to nyu stern right now and i know a girl who transfered here from bu (i believe....i get bc and bu mixed up) with a 3.5 gpa. Stern is probably your hardest school in nyu to transfer to, but i think you stand a good chance.</p>

<p>mmafe, ur applying from a california community college? how does that go? how do you know which classes to take that are transferrable?</p>

<p>Well...applying to a college that doesn't have an articulation agreement with my JC (ie: NYU), I pretty much followed a liberal arts curriculum in addition to completing the business prerequisites. Such classes might include science courses with labs, english, art, humanities, sociology/psychology, music, and math. Does that answer your question?</p>

<p>thanks and sorta.</p>

<p>so it was mostly about communicating with someone at NYU on which classes to take and when to apply etc?</p>

<p>I would love to go to stern someday. I am a HS senior. I am planning on going to UMD and the smith school of business there. I am already in the scholars business program that enrolls about 70 students a year and plan to be involved due to all the options they have. I was wondering, what would be a competitive GPA to transfer to stern later in my academic career? Is it possible comming from UMD?? I have a 1380 SAT if it matters.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>how would you compare stern Econ to 6th ranked econ program out of all LACs?
-I have also applied to Stern by the way.</p>

<p>Mmcafe did you apply to Haas? I think Stern and Haas are about the same and considerinng you live in california you will have great chance for gaining an admissions to Haas.</p>

13

<p>See the problem is...in order to participate in the transfer program from CA community colleges to UC's, you have to complete certain prerequisites, which I have not. So yeah, I did apply to Haas, but according to the website, you HAVE to complete the required courses. So there goes Hass! =(!!</p>

14

<p>hmmm that shucks.
well Stern > Haas for it's location and connections to NEW YORK (THE Center of World-Economy) anyways.</p>

15

<p>Well thanks for your encouragement!! If I actually had the choice between the two, Stern would own Haas! =)</p>

<p>and its annoying that nyu gets way more credit than it deserves, just bc of its location. location is probably one of the main reasons students consider nyu 'a dream school'...its really expensive for a school that isn't even ranked very high academically. (not to offend anyone who goes/plans on going there, just my 2 cents on nyu)</p>

<p>i still think its a cool school, but its overrated just cuz its in manhattan = /</p>
