Transferring out of NYU

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am currently a freshman in my second semester at NYU and I want to transfer. I have not found the sense of community I hoped for and believe me I have tried to seek it out for myself. I joined a few clubs, participated in my dorm and even joined a sorority to which I was elected for a position. But the school is just not right for me. I thought I would love living in NYC but I have come to realize it is not all that it is hyped up to be plus everything is so expensive. Specifically to NYU, the administration has not been helpful whatsoever these past few months and overall are completely disorganized. There is no campus here and going from my dorm to another can be a long walk which poses safety issues especially since in my second month being here I was approached and cornered by a few older men who were yelling profanity and trying to touch me (luckily I shoved and ran away). So after talking with family over winter break I decided to still give the school a shot but it has been a month into this semester and things have gotten worse and I know I need to leave, but now I have only 2 weeks to finish all of my essays and applications and define a list of schools to apply to. I am an economics major but will either pursue and economics degree in a college of arts and sciences or am interested in transferring into an undergraduate business program.I know I can apply to transfer into Stern but that still is NYU plus my adviser told me it was extremely difficult for internal transfer into Stern (which is not fair).
Currently I am thinking about Harvard (family members go there), Stanford, UPenn (Wharton), Northwestern, Vanderbilt, and Boston College (Carroll) but was wondering what my chances were ?? And if there are any suggestions of where to apply? I just want prestige accompanied by a true college experience!</p>

<p>My Stats are:
High school GPA: 4.76 / 4.0
SAT: 1980 (Not too high I know)
SAT Subject Tests: US History 730
ACT: 31
AP: 8 and all were 4s and 5s</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: Student Government Executive Board Member, Captain of Cheer team, National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, Society of Women Scholars, Freshmen Mentors, Prom Committee President, Calculus Squad, Chemistry Club</p>

<p>College GPA: 4.0
Extracurriculars: intramural sport, economics club (went to other clubs but only one I liked), sorority, and am currently looking for a job/internship</p>

<p>BC would be a low reach. The others are way out of reach.</p>

<p>Boston University would be a match. Your stats are not that "prestigious. </p>

<p>If I were you, I’d transfer to one of these schools:
Quinnipiac - highly ranked in the Northeast, well-regarded for business, great reputation with employers, amazingly stunning campus, beautiful dorms, great sports teams (especially the hockey), very tight-knit community
U of Scranton - also very highly ranked in the Northeast, highly regarded Jesuit university, gorgeous campus, amazing food, everyone’s like a family, great dorms
Monmouth University - one of the fastest rising/up-and-coming schools in the Northeast, good business program, beautiful campus, located ONE mile from the beach, very green campus, Annie was shot there</p>

<p>Please take my schools into consideration. All campuses are VERY safe and friendly, and also very scenic. They may not be tier one institutions like NYU, but you will enjoy your experience SO much more. Less strain on your parents’ pockets and more guaranteed happiness for you. You will feel at home at either of those schools. Best wishes! :)</p>

<p>So far I have been accepted to Vanderbilt, statistics aren’t everything!</p>

<p>Have you been to Vanderbilt? It is a little different although if your sorority has a branch there you will have instant friends. It is very southern and people have money</p>
