<p>So what are the chances of being accepted as a transfer student? I'm not sure if I want to be in Stern or CAS because I'm a double major right now in sociology and business. </p>
<p>I go to Emory now, and NYU has been my dream school. I applied and didn't get in (to Stern) but I got into Emory which is obviously a better school than NYU. Anyway, Emory sucks/wasn't what I am looking for or want in a school.</p>
<p>I'm looking at, for the end of this semester, probably a 3.8 GPA at Emory.</p>
<p>HS stats:
GPA 3.75 UW from one of the best HS in the country
ACT: 33 (M - 35, R - 34, S - 32, W - 30)
I was extremely involved in a few activities that were a major part of my life outside of school (as I chose them to). </p>
<p>What are the chances of me getting into either CAS or Stern as a transfer?</p>
<p>I think you have a good chance, although you have to know transfer admissions are difficult even compared to regular out of high school admission. Good luck. You’re definitely qualified to get into Stern as a transfer, but being just “qualified” doesn’t equal acceptance anymore.</p>
<p>…definitely a better school? It’s probably harder to get into but concerning quality of professor and such… I wouldn’t be so sure. I’m not saying Emory for sure is not a better school but that statement seems very bold</p>
<p>I mean in general and superficially based on rankings. There are undoubtedly an infinite number of ways to determine what make a school “great” or “best/better.”</p>
<p>Is there a way to apply to CAS and Stern? Or do I just have to do Stern and then take CAS classes?</p>
<p>Does anyone have Stern transfer statistics?</p>
<p>Thanks! Do you know where I can find the admissions rates for Transfers? </p>
<p>Also, how important are my:</p>
<p>1) College GPA vs HS GPA
2) Test scores
3) HS letters of recommendation vs college professor recommendation
4) HS involvement vs College involvement
5) Prestige of my current school (Emory)</p>
<p>so did I, I know this isn’t going to seem like a good source but I was talking to a bunch of professors (my parents have dinner parties) from NYU, Columbia, and there was one who I believe is at Penn now - and I mentioned Emory as a school I could apply to if NYU doesn’t work out, and they seemed to think the quality of education and the quality of professors at Emory wasn’t as good as people like to think based on the school’s selectivity… that’s largely what I’m basing this off of (and no, they wouldn’t just say it to appease the people at the table, it was at that point a highly self-deprecating conversation).</p>
<p>I think of Wash U in St. Louis the same way, for instance, a school that may be harder to get into than it is actually a good school. Then again I agree that NYU has a lot of overrated programs that are thought of so highly because of Kanbar, IPA, Courant, Skirball, and programs within Stern… but I still think it’s too bold a statement to make. Clearly the conversation is subjective, I’m possibly inherently biased because I live in an NYU household, and you possibly have a similar bias from being an Emory student (and thus someone who I’m sure is proud of the fact that they got in). All in all, I just had to say something - not really worth it to me to debate</p>
<p>Thanks. I would definitely have to disagree with you. All of my professors, as well as my friends’ professors are excellent. I would say that Emory is certainly at least equal with NYU if not better. But the point of this thread isn’t to debate which is better. In the scheme of all colleges, they are both excellent.</p>
And I don’t mind. It’s a personal opinion.</p>
