<p>Yes, it's another one of those threads....sorry!
Humor me please, my region awards an Associates degree to anyone who completes a special two year program in schoo. My regular GPA is about 3.4 and I'm worried I may not get into Stern straight with such a low GPA. I don't even rank in the top ten of my class but I easily rank in the top 10% of all students on the island[my school is the top on the island]. Which should I use my Associates degree and come in as a transfer student or my regular high school diploma and apply as a freshman[the high school awards the high school diploma, while the government awards the associates degree. they are two seperate pieces of paper so the associates degree does not need to be shown if necassary].</p>

<p>How hard is it for a trasfer student with:</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0[In Associates degree program]
SAT I: 2300
SAT II: Math Ic 800, Literature 750, Writting 770
ECs: A laundry list of ECs[ co-founding a tv station, participating in an international kung fu tournament, kung fu performances at the chinese banevolent society, Rugby, Table tennis, Green Generation, School Challenge Quiz team, Piano, Certified personal trainer, teaching inner city children mathematics, rural community development projects, student council, assembly monitor, graphic design, etc.]
Reccomendations: Great reccomendations[from a Deputy Prime Minister, Partner in one of the largest American law firms, President of the National Commercial Bank and Guidance councilor]</p>

<p>I also have a certified Associates Degree in general studies.</p>

<p>id say first you need to talk to nyu and see which one of these they will ALLOW you to come to the school under.</p>

<p>but you have really good stats. assuming your essay is well-written, id say you have a darn good shot either way, even though your high school gpa is on the low side for nyu.</p>

<p>isnt it easier for nyu to accept transfers because they are already adapted to college lifestyle and have a sense of maturity?</p>
