<p>I was admitted by NYU for Fall 2007. But I'm so impressed and scared by its high expense. Four academic years in NYU is definately not affordable to me. So I am planning to go to St. Johns U which will give me full financial aid. but still think about transferring to NYU in freshman or sophomore year. Then the financial burden is not that significant. Do you guys think it easy or worthwhile to transfer from St. Johns business school to Stern since they are all located in NYC and credits are admitted. Thanks!</p>
<p>How much fin. aid is NYU willing to provide for you? What's your total expected cost? What's your concentration? Knowing people at NYU, especially stern, is important for business majors. Depending on your concentration, the benefits from NYU's networking may outweigh your extra tuition from staying at NYU all 4 years. In a strictly economic sense, you should attend NYU if you are able to conclude that such a scenario is likely to happen. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think they give out the median salaries of Stern graduates at the undergrad level. That's a good place to start.</p>
<p>This is a very tough position to be in. I wonder how easy it would be to transfer to NYU once you're at St. Johns.
These are your only two choices? There is little overlap in the academic quality of the students at the two, particularly between St. Johns and Stern.
NYU is flat out one of the most expensive schools in the country with a tiny endowment per student- generally weak student aid.
Again, there isn't another alternative?</p>
<p>I'm currently at St. John's University's Peter J. Tobin College of Business paying next to nothing with a 4.0 GPA trying to transfer into NYU for sophomore standing. Ask me anything.</p>
<p>It's a commuter school, and if you had the grades to get into Stern to begin with, you should get a 3.75+ here easily and xferring back into stern shouldn't be too difficult for you considering you got in to begin with. Be cautious though: You can only apply to Stern once a year. If you stay @ sju for two years, you have one shot at getting back in. Consider the fact that you might screw up and not get back in (unlikely with the stats I'm assuming out of you, though). If you choose your professors wisely, the workload is easy. The commute is easy. To tell you the truth I don't like it too much and personally I'm willing to pay the extra cash to go to NYU, but luckily tuition isn't too high of a priority for me. Don't expect too much (or anything) out of the social life @ sju btw.</p>
<p>If you're paying for college out of your own pocket, then I'd probably SJU it. Not only will you have to pay for tuition @ nyu, but also if you want to go out/do stuff in the city, it's also going to cost you a pretty penny.</p>
