<p>what would it take to transfer to NYU or preferably Columbia, with a A.A degree from a community college in Florida.</p>
<p>Currently i have a 3.71 gpa at the end of my first year. I have no EC's with the CC and do not work. Ive only had a job once.</p>
<p>Do i got a shot or not?</p>
<p>if not what would it take gpa wise and other things?</p>
<p>Join the Honors Program at your CC and get a 4.0 in your final semesters. Write a solid personal statement. Then you may have a chance.</p>
<p>depends on which school you are applying to in each of those colleges actually.</p>
<p>im going for business finance</p>
<p>I think more so than your GPA, your lack of ECs are going to hurt your chances. Especially at a business school (I'm assuming you'll be trying for NYU Stern). Stern's very competitive, and all applicants have very high GPAs, they value business experience A LOT. Not trying to be harsh, but you don't even have a part-time job? If I were you, I'd look for something relevant to get involved with right now. </p>
<p>Your GPA's competitive, but you should get it up a bit more. Magic number is >3.75. You're ALMOST there. Keep up the good work. :) Try to get all As. If your CC has an honors program ( Mine didn't >:( ) you should get involved with that, as well as Phi Theta Kappa, if for nothing more than you'll get much needed money (Columbia and NYU are extremely expensive) and your EC slots won't look naked. </p>
<p>One last thing, Stern is VERY, VERY strict about having all their pre-reqs done before you transfer. If you don't, it's an auto-reject. If you don't some of these classes complete, take them ASAP. </p>

Applicants for transfer admission should have completed (or be in the process of completing) the following courses in order to receive serious consideration for admission: microeconomics, calculus, expository writing, and introductory accounting (a combination of managerial accounting and financial accounting totaling at least 6 semester hours).

<p>Best of luck with everything. :) :)</p>
<p>thanks for the info, but im more set on going to columbia because of the campus not being spread out like nyu is</p>
<p>would getting my bachelors at say ucf and going for my masters at columbia or nyu give me a better chance</p>
<p>well... in ur case, Columbia will also be a reach...</p>
<p>im not sure about the pre reqs thing u said olives</p>
<p>I emailed them about it and they said they fully understood that not every1 can take the classes they want (especialyl the accounting ones) in so soon (in the freshman year) and if u put a note with ur app , theyll understand.</p>
<p>so dont worry too much about that . I dont think even wharton students can take accounting classes in their freshman year so dont sweat it too much. Apply and hope for the best :)</p>
<p>IDK, I'd still be very wary about that. If you can take the pre-reqs, I strongly reccomend taking them (as does NYU). I've heard stories from people on this forum (I'm interested in NYU as well) who were very strong candidates and got denied because they didn't have the prereqs. </p>
<p>I'm sure if there's a concrete reason you can't take such classes, they'll understand, but it says "You need those for serious consideration".</p>
<p>can you give me a link to the pre-reqs for the colleges.</p>
<p>Hey olives
Ur absolutely right and i misworded my reply lol. What i meant was that at some colleges are not allowed to take accounting classes in ur freshman year (this is the case with me) which is why i emailed NYU and they gave me this reply.</p>
<p>IF your college allows u to do this, then obviously not taking those classes will hurt you. But if not , then NYU wont take this against you. A guy from the college i am going to transfered to Stern , and like i said u cant take acc classes as a freshman .</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
<p>what classes need to be taken im getting my A.A in business adminstration, which has set courses.</p>
<p>These classes. Microeconomics, calculus, expository writing, and introductory accounting (a combination of managerial accounting and financial accounting totaling at least 6 semester hours). </p>
