<p>This is regarding transfer admissions:</p>
<p>What are my chances?</p>
<p>based on very limited information here</p>
<p>College GPA: 3.68
SAT1: 1300 (math 680, verbal 620)
SAT2: writing 660, math 1 c 720</p>
<p>HS GPA: B</p>
<p>also, could anyone tell me what Gallatin program is all about?</p>
<p>a 3.68 at university of michigan and a 3.68 at a community college are two very different things, so nobody can really say w/out even knowing what school you were in and how challenging your classes were.</p>
<p>Gallatin is a division of NYU. It is liberal arts based and based on 'interdisciplinary' ideals. There is a small core, about a years worth of courses, but they are general, like 2 humanites, 2 science, 2 writing, 1 first year seminar etc. You basically do the core just by living and breathing. The rest of your courses are decided by you and your goal is to create a concentration that has foundation in various areas of study. Many people in gallatin have a wide range of interests; for example, a gallatin student can draw from Finance, Photography, istory, and Philsophy and create a 'concentration'. You can take almost any class at NYU. However, by your senior year you have to justify what you learned. This is called a colloquim, similar to a PhD dissertation. You have to go infront of a panel and explain what you learned, what your concentration was, and at the same time draw on books you read during you college career. What makes gallatin unique is the fact that it looks for students with the ability to work individually and be driven.

<p>Good luck with your transfer. I think you have a good shot, gallatin places an emphasis on essays, show them that you are independent, driven, and passionate about what you wnat to learn.</p>
