<p>Are there any hopeful Steinhardt transfers here?</p>

2

<p>I'm hoping to transfer into the music business program at Steinhardt ASAP. I'm so bummed out about not getting in. I'm going to a local college or university, but like every other college in FL, they don't offer my major, and I have to declare my major. It sucks because I'm gonna be taking classes in things that I really have no interest in. I'm kinda overall bummed about the whole college experience because I'm not going to, or studying what I really want to. I REALLY hope I get in as a sophomore transfer. Let's cross our fingers :0/</p>

<p>I applied to transfer from Northeastern Univ. to Steinhardt for Music Business, did my audition on Sunday and now I am waiting. Have you heard yet?</p>

<p>I'm hoping to transfer into the Music Education program at Steinhardt. My parents got a weird letter from the Bursar at NYU so they called to ask about it, and the admissions person said they were sending out letters around the first week of May because they have to wait to hear from the freshman to know about housing. Just thought I'd share that bit of information! Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Whats the Bursar and what did the letter say?</p>

6

<p>The bursar is like the student accounts office- it's the people who deal with money and tuition. The letter was information about monthly plans in order to pay tuition or something, I didn't read it myself so I don't know exactly. I have no idea what it means, but hey- maybe it's a good sign! I'll definitely be anxious until I get a real letter though.</p>

<p>Hello. I applied as a freshman, and didn't get in, and have to wait til I'm in my freshman year of college to apply as a transfer. I can't wait though. How do you think you did?</p>

<p>I also applied and didn't get in freshman year <em>bitter memories</em>... but no worries, I think the transfer process has been a lot easier. All I can say is wherever you go work HARD and get the best grades you can get. I had a really good GPA first semester of college, and I think that definitely made up for my not-so-good SAT's. I think in a lot of ways the transfer process becomes fair the way that sometimes freshman acceptances are not- it's more based on talent/if you are qualified and as we all know, sometimes getting in freshman year is NOT all about that (even if it should be.) It definitely depends on the program you apply for, of course, but I'd say applying to transfer has overall been a much more positive experience. That said, I think I did the best I could in my audition and application so, I'm crossing my fingers!</p>

Making Our Decision </p>

<p>Transfer admission to the undergraduate schools at NYU is highly selective. Though there are many similarities, the application process differs slightly from school to school. The Admissions Committee considers a variety of factors in reviewing your application including the relative strength of your college program, your performance in those courses, your high school record, standardized test scores, your personal statements and application essay, letters of recommendations submitted on your behalf, and your activities both in school and in your community. If you are applying for admission to a program that requires a creative review, the results of that review will also be important. Finally, we consider your special talents, alumni affiliation, socioeconomic background, geographic location, and race or ethnicity. </p>

<p>Most successful transfer applicants follow a general liberal arts curriculum at their school. Typically, the successful candidate will have completed at least a year of college credit (minimum thirty semester hours) and maintained at least a "B" average overall, although the most competitive candidates usually exceed these minimum standards. If you have been in college less than a year, your high school record will be an important consideration for admission </p>

<p>Please note that the Leonard N. Stern School of Business will not consider for transfer admission students who enter NYU by transferring into another NYU school or college.
