<p>I was waitlisted, rejected, emailed about poly. and i kno some others have too so...</p>
<p>So if theres any poly attendees, if you would be so kind as to answer some questions:
1. Is it easier to transfer into NYU (i.e. stern) after attending NYU-Poly? Would admissions at NYU take that into a huge consideration?
2. How much scholarship money did you guys receive? The packets comin in two weeks from now, but summers half way done
3. Why did u decide to go to NYU-poly? did u apply to nyu-poly or NYU first? Nyu rejects? Does everyone who got the email after their NYU rejection get automatically accepted into poly?
4. Hows the campus there?
5. Are you happy with the CHOICE you made to go to poly? maybe you had to choose between your in-state university and New York, but the in-state university was better but since you really wanted to go to NY you chose poly?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Although it’s not a HUGE one, you might have more chances of transferring to another NYU (But Stern is tough for everyone so attending Poly wouldn’t be a plus)</p></li>
<li><p>I won’t discuss my personal financial issues but Poly is known for its generosity. If you do need financial help, they can land you some pretty good deal.</p></li>
<li><p>I never applied to NYU. Attending poly was a personal choice because of my interest in engineering and science. Surprisingly enough, you won’t find a lot of people who are attending poly because they were rejected from NYU. As for the automatic admission to poly for NYU rejects, it really depends but I guess not everyone is accepted.</p></li>
<li><p>The campus was a bit of an issue: quite frankly I don’t like the campus. It is small and compact and some parts of the main building are very archaic. However, they are renovating the school right now and It’s gonna look way better this fall.</p></li>
<li><p>I, just like most of the students, chose to attend Poly because my interests in science and technology. I mean really, you won’t like it here if you are not into those types of subject because the school is heavily based on science. There isn’t a wide range of humanity classes that are offered. But you can still take those classes at NYU CAS though.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>To sum it up, make sure you come here because you want to study a technology/science related field and not only because you were rejected from NYU. You really want to enjoy those 4 years of college as they are going to happen quickly, so take your time and make the best decision. Good luck and hope this helps.</p>
<p>I don’t o to poly and I’m not familiar with it but if you’re looking to transfer into Stern, you shouldn’t go to poly because it specifically says on the admissions website that “Stern will not consider for transfer admission students who enter NYU by transferring into another NYU school or college.”</p>
<p>thanks for the info guys, muchly appreciated</p>
<p>just one last question just cause NY is seriously my dream to go to/live in… If I chose to go to Poly would it be easier to transfer into CAS for economics at NYU? would you happen to know if its hard to get in as a transfer there, especially from poly?</p>
<p>the thing is, i cant see myself majoring in science or engineering, however I would truly love to live in new york city. and so if i went to poly, couldnt i just get like NYU/poly gen ed classes out of the way first year? that way, its basically like going to nyu except first year tuition was a lot cheaper</p>
<p>Look, it is probably easier to transfer from poly to another NYU school (except for Stern) now that the two schools are affiliates. However, as missamericanpie said, You might going to be spending a very confusing first year at poly as the curriculum at both schools was separately established. The fact that you can take classes at NYU will not make it any easier since Poly requires you to take main classes in Brooklyn (even business related classes). Therefore the mere humanities that you will take at CAS will necessarily not put you a step ahead of other applicants.</p>
<p>Furthermore, I sense that you are not really interested in science if so, I strongly suggest you to go to a “typical” college with a business school. I am not putting you on the spot or anything, I just want you to realize that you should not be skipping steps. First go to a school where you are going to study something that you like, enjoy yourself and most importantly, get good grades. Only then can you consider transferring.</p>
<p>NYU-Poly is not an undergraduate school of New York University. If you’re to transfer into NYU CAS, Stern, or whatever, you’ll need to proceed just as a transfer applicant from a completely different university might. If you maintain a 3.7+ GPA in Poly, you should stand a good chance at CAS/Stern as a transfer.</p>
<p>I know someone who transferred in from NYU-Poly to NYU with a 3.5. Well. You see, he got accepted as a transfer. There are a few problems with transferring from Poly to NYU:</p>
<ol>
<li>You lose a LOT of financial aid. I’m talking about a full ride dwindling down to like a null value. rofl</li>
<li>It’s really, really hard to maintain a 3.5 at Poly. No, I’m completely serious. Engineering is a ton of work, blood, sweat, tears, and the whole shebang.</li>
</ol>
<p>Please don’t go to Poly if you’re only going to go because you want to transfer out after a year or two. Because not only will you hate yourself and people around you, but, and I’m sorry but this is true: we probably won’t like you very much either. I really dislike the few elitists I meet around Poly. Coming from a super competitive high school, it’s pretty sickening lol</p>
<p>Thanks for all the replies guys, just a few more…</p>
<p>-are gen Ed classes for BS undeclared hard as well? I kno u guys are saying engineering is sweat n blood but I got in or bs undeclared. Are the gen Ed classes that hard there?
-I’m very interested in attending any NY school. Just cause it’s new York. Since nyupoly doesn’t have my majors (Econ, biz), does anyone kno how hard it will be to try to transfer into CAS? Can I try for both cas and the impossible stern as well at the same time after a year at poly?
-how is brooklyn? I kno I love the city but I hear stuff about Brooklyn and I have no idea of the reputation of any of the NY buroughs.
-I got 14k a year from poly. I visited a local Midwest college this year and talke to their fin aid counselor, basically asking them for more scholarship money. He said they would have offered me more money but he can’t cause it’s this year. They have to make up for last years spending. If I go visit the nyupoly campus and fin aid office, can I expect the same answer from them too?</p>
<p>You can speak to an NYU-Poly admissions counselor over the phone and ask about the financial aid package, and if it’s possible to appeal. And for the record, I do believe it is :x</p>
<p>This part of Brooklyn is verrrry nice. Some New Yorkers said the campus is even nicer than the one in Greenwich Village. It’s a sort of posh, super-business orientated part, plus some cool art exhibits in the neighborhood. I definitely feel like Brooklyn Heights is the center of NY sometimes…a lot of subways go there. You should visit Poly; it really isn’t for everyone. Let me know what you decide.</p>
