Transfer to NYU

<p>Aid for transfers is little to none. So be prepared to pay $60K/yr minus whatever federal aid you qualify for.</p>

<p>Hey guys! ok so i need some serious input i’ve been stressing A LOT about this and any advice would really help.
So recently ive sent in my application to nyu and i had my audition last weekend, they said id find out mid may at the latest. My audition went really well, interview and all. my monologues were right on target and my interview went very smoothly, i gave a lot of well though out, creative answers and i even managed to crack some jocks with my auditioner. </p>

<p>i know at tisch your acceptance is based on a 50/50 basis, and im praying my audition gets me in. i have a lot on my resume from hs, like plays, track, choir and a bunch of leadership positions ive held, and i’m also taking classes at an nyu studio this summer i got into that i mentioned on the resume as well. </p>

<p>my academics are what im nervous about though, i didn’t do too fab in hs, i got a 3.0 at best and a 1680 on my SATS. i scored 11/12 on the essay i think but who honestly cares about that right?! lol. im a freshman at montclair state university right now taking all gen eds basically with a gpa of whats hopefully going to be around a 3.6 when the semester ends.</p>

<p>i already got accepted into the rutgers science school (because for those of you who have applied there would know rutgers makes you apply to 3 back up choices) and ive heard that school is really tough to get in to. i also got into marymount manhattan college with scholarship money. but idk what to think, someone help!!! :[</p>

<p>You should probably look at schools who are more likely to accept you. I’m not so sure NYU is in the cards from you, but thats fine - there is always room for improvement. You could always go to grad school there.</p>

<p>I’m trying to apply to NYU as a transfer as well, so I know how hard it can be.</p>

<p>I think that even as an undergraduate within NYU there is variability in regards to entrance requirements depending on the school to which you apply. You should look at all the NYU schools if you know NYU is the school for you and identify the one that you can get into. That is if you value university name and environment over a specific program, which I personally did. You may not be able to get into Arts and Sciences but you be able to get into another school with the university (and then try to transfer once you are in NYU). It might be easier to get into a similar program in Steinhardt, Poly, or Continuing and Professional Studies, even they have an undergraduate program.</p>

<p>Guys would NYU accept a student who: studied physics one year in the University of Leipzig (Germany) and one in University of Milan (Italy), has a perfect GPA, did internship programs in places like CERN and attended an American private high school (GPA 3.9).</p>

<p>Friends, transfer forum-goers, randos: last year, as a freshman, I applied and was accepted to NYU as a transfer student. Due to financial reasons, I was unable to attend. However, for whomever this may help, my stats were as follows:</p>

<p>Applying From: Oxford College of Emory University
HS GPA: ~3.5 (or something meh) unweighted, ~4.0 weighted.
College GPA First Semester: 3.85 (2 A grades, 2 A- grades).
GPA on mid-term transcript: ~3.92 (3 A grades, 1 A- grade, one single credit A- grade)
SAT: 2140/2400, 1420/1600
SAT II: I sent two. The scores were okay, don’t remember exactly.
LOR(s): 2, not sure if they mattered much.
Essays: my essays were melodramatic, but well written. Could have been better.</p>

<p>I had applied my senior year of high school and was wait-listed. I was accepted as a transfer student about a week before the rest of the decisions went out, probably because I was re-applying.</p>

<p>If you have any questions, I’m here to answer them. :-c </p>
