Transfer Hopeful

<p>I am a senior, and NYU has been a top choice of mine since I was a freshman. However, I feel I am a bit below NYU's level academically. However, I feel I would be a great fit for the film program at Tisch, and I am confident I would seriously excel in it. </p>

<p>However, because of how competitive it is to get in, I applied into CAS for my freshman year, which most likely was a mistake, seeing that the main chance I would have at getting in is my skills with video anyway. </p>

<p>I have not yet heard back, but I am just about 99% sure it will be a no. Therefore, I am already planning my application and portfolio as a transfer into Tisch for my sophomore year, most likely coming from UConn, where I will be taking core/digital media classes. </p>

<p>My question is, does anyone have any advice to increase my chances as a transfer this fall? i.e. retaking SATs, job internships, etc. </p>

<p>Here are some of my stats:
SAT Math: 580
SAT Reading: 590
SAT Writing: 640</p>

<p>Cumulative GPA: 3.5 Weighted. Killed by my freshman year, my last year was a 3.9 weighted, and same for my senior year thus far.</p>

<p>APs: AP Language Comp., AP Psychology, UCONN Physics, College Level Astronomy and Macroeconomics at my local community college.</p>

<p>Pretty well involved in EC's at my school. Captain of Track and Cross Country, class leader, etc.</p>

<p>Tisch will care mostly about your portfolio, not so much your SATs or GPA.</p>

<p>Any more advice? Please?</p>

<p>I don’t see why it will automatically be a no if you haven’t heard back yet? COME ON MAN or GIRL, HAVE SOME CONFIDENCE!!!</p>

<p>My friend got waitlisted at Tisch as a freshman applicant. I’m applying as transfer and I feel like I’ll be waiting for my decision for a while.</p>

<p>Also, you know, you can look at other schools, too. USC has a great film program! Only their supplements are due crazy early and have a lot of writing! December 1st - missed the deadline. Tisch is a great program, but there are so many other good ones as well!</p>

<p>Good luck, though! I hope you get in and it turns out to be everything you’ve ever wanted~</p>
