<p>I'll try to make this as short as possible. Basically, I applied ED to Northwestern and didn't get in; thus, I went to NYU. However, I really think that NYU is really not the place for me, and plus, I can't get the idea of Northwestern out of my head. Therefore, I'm going to try and transfer. That being said, I have a few questions.</p>
<p>Has anyone transferred? Gotten rejected then accepted? Stories?</p>
<p>When exactly did you find out whether you were accepted for transfer admission?</p>
<p>Were there any problems that you had with transferring?</p>
<p>Also, I am just wondering, does it make a difference if I've done well at NYU? I will have a GPA between 3.8 and 3.9 (they haven't been officially calculated yet), and like, do you guys see NYU as a good school as compared to NU? I always did, but I don't know what other people thought.</p>
<p>Lastly, I have some mediocre SAT II's that I don't know if I should submit or not. I would rather not, but does it hurt me in any way?</p>
<p>Thank you guys so much for any response. I honestly want this more than anything; I just have to figure out how to put that into some essays...</p>
<p>I do not have personal experience with the questions you have posed. I am a Mom. But, with that said, IMHO you should apply for transfer and see if your strong interest, and scores/grades causes the admissions office to offer you a place at NU. LIfe is about dreams, and you obviously still have a urning to matriculate NU. G'Luck!</p>

nope, it's been awesome. the quarter system really helps you catch up with classes, too</p>

<p>yeah it matters, that GPA is fine for transferring, NYU is a top school, obviously it's not as selective as northwestern (otherwise why really would you transfer) but it's almost definitely going to be a bonus coming from NYU.</p>
<p>if your SATIIs aren't great maybe just send your ACT score instead if you took it, but you need to send one of the two tests. your test scores probably won't be as important as your college grades</p>
<p>Yeah, I have the ACT and all of my grades/test scores are good--I just received 650's on all of my subject tests and I don't necessarily want them to see that. I guess I will just do the ACT's then.</p>
<p>Also, my advisor recommended that I make a visit to NU to speak with someone about the communications department. He said they would take note of a visit like this--is that necessarily true?</p>

<p>if you can afford the plane ticket, it definitely won't hurt. it would also give you a chance to see the campus. other than that, no one can really say how much it would "help," but i will tell you, when i was applying to transfer, i came in and met with someone in the admissions office, and i was accepted soooooo.....</p>
