Where can I transfer?

Transfer Students

<p>Another chances thread...any feedback is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Simply, my major stats..
HS GPA: 98%/100% (Class rank: 16/390) *Decent NJ public HS
I took a total of 4 APs and mainly all honors courses
SATs (downfall): 1170</p>

<p>I attend Rutgers-NB and am a freshman:
1st semester GPA: 4.00</p>

<p>I am not very great at standardized tests. My SATs killed it for me last year applying to colleges as a senior. </p>

<p>I particularly want to goto NYU Stern or CAS in fall 2007. What do you guys think? Where else do you guys think I should apply?</p>

<p>Unless you retake your SATs and get a higher score, I don't see a realistic chance to any of the top schools. My suggestion is, before you consider transferring, to study your butt off for the next SATs and get the best score possible.</p>

3

<p>You have a good chance at NYU CAS. Stern is a reach with those SAT scores.</p>

<p>Consider:
JHU (do not require SAT scores for transfers)
Boston U
Case Western</p>

<p>What dont you like about Rutgers NB i was thinking of transfering there</p>

5

<p>hey, what other schools that do not require SAT? However, it is too bad since most of our high school transcript contains our SAT score.</p>

6

<p>What if I try to transfer for spring 08? Will they consider SATs so heavily?</p>

<p>Rutgers NB is a good school with a diverse pool of students. Though, I am confident that I can excel at a more prestigous school.</p>

7

<p>Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>I think I am going to apply to NYU Stern for fall 2007 and see what happens. I am looking at BC and BU also.</p>

<p>Any others schools I may have an ok chance at?</p>

<p>bump......</p>

<p>i think that we could give you some recommendations of schools to consider if you could give us an idea of what is lacking at Rutgers...(why do you want to transfer??)</p>

<p>Instead of applying to Stern, apply to CAS. You can take several Stern courses as a CAS economics major.</p>

<p>Thank you for your replies. I want to goto more of a prestigous school and live in a city. </p>

<p>As I am from north Jersey, NYU is not too far and is certainly well-known. With that being stated, I want to know my chances to get into NYU. I am looking to either major in finance or economics.</p>

<p>As my SATs are low (1170), should I wait to apply for spring 08 or fall 08? I am not sure if it may be in my best interest to apply fall 07. What do you guys think?</p>

12

<p>You could apply for Fall 07, so as long as you raise your SAT scores. Although I am no authority when it comes to knowing what SAT scores will get you into what school, a 1170 is nevertheless a pretty low score, and could certainly block out your chances to a lot of schools. If you can't retake them, apply anyway. There is nothing you could lose if you apply this year.</p>

13

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance @ NYU cas to be honest, i dont know why everyone assumes nyu is like some ivy or something....</p>

14

<p>Thank you very much for your advice. I have decided not to re-take the SATs. First, I am not sure how much I can raise my score and second, schools such as NYU will not take into consideration SATs taken after high school work. </p>

<p>I think I will apply spring 2007 to CAS just to be safe. Any other advice is appreciated. Again, your feedback is very much appreciated.</p>

<p>mojojojo69: NYU is probably the most talked about and "dream school" both domestically and internationally. It is a school many people expect to get in with good grades, ECs, etc. but still several students are getting rejected with such stats. A third of the posts on this forum somehow pertains to NYU; this just displays how many competitive students apply each year.</p>

15

<p>I have decided to apply to Stern. I hope my HS transcript and college transcript will offset my SAT scores.</p>

<p>Anyone have suggestions? Do I have atleast a 35% chance of getting in?</p>

16

<p>Yo, actually 2 of my friends got into Stern with those stats coming from Rutgers...they had low 1200 SAT1 and had 3.9 and 4.0 from Rutgers NB...</p>

<p>go for Stern seriously, you have nothing to lose</p>
