<p>Is it possible to have too many units to qualify to transfer? </p>
<p>I looked around on the website but could only find a minimum unit requirement. I'm a second year right now but I already have junior standing at the school I attend. I want to transfer to NYU but I'm afraid I don't qualify because I'd only be there for 3 semesters to finish 4 years.</p>
<p>You CAN transfer, but they will only transfer two years worth of credits, and make you stay at NYU for at least two years as you have to do at least 64 credits at NYU.</p>
<p>^ damn, that’s expensive haha. So they will transfer 64 units and then I have to take 64 units at NYU? How do I find out which units are transferable?</p>
<p>You’ll find out which transfer in AFTER you get to NYU.</p>
<p>and if you’re thinking about transferring to Stern, they don’t accept Spring applications. You’ll have to wait for the Fall. Econ at CAS would be your only option for Spring.</p>
<p>@giantmidget Yeah, I’m actually an econ major right now, so I’d apply for econ at CAS (I’m also looking at the Business of Entertainment minor).
Also - I was admitted to NYU CAS out of high school, but I chose not to attend due to financial reasons… do you think the fact that I got in before helps my chances at transferring or do they mostly care about your college transcript? I had a 3.7 in high school but I’m around a 3.4 right now.</p>
<p>You realize that, as a transfer student, you will receive little to not financial aid and be expected to foot, via out-of-pocket or loans, a large portion of tuition, yes?</p>
<p>@NYU2013: no, i actually didn’t know that financial aid was more difficult to obtain for transfer students. would you happen to know what the typical financial situation for someone receiving aid - not loans - from nyu? there don’t really seem to be many nyu scholarships for transfers, either.
but does a previous year’s admission factor into their decision for transferring? is it easier or more difficult to transfer to nyu in general (not stern, lol)?</p>
<p>It’s more difficult to get into NYU as a transfer than as an incoming freshmen. </p>
<p>Typical aid is <em>maybe</em> a few thousand (i.e. $5,000, maybe $10,000) in scholarship from CAS, and then government aid on top of that – everything else will have to be paid by you.</p>
