Where should I go?

Transfer Students
1

<p>So I'm currently at NYU in the college of arts and sciences as an undecided freshman. I have NO IDEA what I want to major in (don't worry, I've set up appts to take tests to find a major), but I need to transfer for my sophomore year. I want a place with a campus, more straight men, and access to a major city. I also want it to be much smaller, possibly around 10,000 or less, and academically comparable to NYU. Thoughts/suggestions? I'm not picky about coasts or anything. OH and I'd prefer somewhere that gives financial aid to transfers? I'm getting $20,000/year here. THANK YOU!!</p>

<p>Academically comparable is very subjective. I think NYU is academically comparable to BU (not BC). It has a really good name and ranks highly on rankings, but I don’t see it as just an academic school. </p>

<p>Talking about Boston, there’s Tufts, BC, Brandeis, and (assuming that you’re a girl), Wellesley – although Wellesley may be smaller than you want. </p>

<p>Then there is Georgetown, Rice, Emory and Carnegie Mellon. </p>

<p>Hope that list helps (also, no matter where you end up, you’ll probably get more $$ than you get at NYU)</p>

<p>What are your scores and HS and college GPA and ECs?</p>

<p>I’m at NYU too, and looking to transfer out as well so I totally understand where you’re coming from. Maybe you should look at some LAC’s if you want a smaller university? Also, we need your GPA and ACT/SAT to fully evaluate your chances. Good luck, and can you please chance me too? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/1252109-transferring-out-nyu-help-me-fellow-ccers.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/1252109-transferring-out-nyu-help-me-fellow-ccers.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>32 ACT, hs gpa 4.4 weighted, 4.0 unweighted. HOWEVER college gpa: 3.0 which definitely lowers my emphasis on academic comparison to nyu</p>
