What are my chances of getting into columbia as a transfer student?
It's possible, but it would be highly unlikely. Transfer admissions at most top schools are even more competitive than freshman admissions, and this includes Columbia. A 3.75 is just not high enough to impress admissions officers when you're competing with thousands of other students for a hundred or so spots. In addition, your high school record will pose a problem. Contrary to popular belief, top schools do take your high school record into consideration regardless of how many college credit hours you have. Most people admitted as transfers to top schools were close to getting admitted out of high school & just needed to prove they could do college-level work at a high level. Your high school numbers are extremely low for Columbia, and combined with a good but not great college record, you unfortunately probably won't make it to the top of the pile. However I'm sure there are plenty of schools where you would be a very competitive transfer applicant. You should have at least a solid chance at most schools - it's really only the Ivies & other very top schools that are super, super competitive for transfers.
What are my chances of getting into NYU as a transfer?
I attend a community college here in NYC. My current GPA is 3.89, and I am on my second semester. Starting next semester, I will have 30 credits completing my first year. I am also a Phi Theta Kappa member, and one of the policies for my community college if your in PTK, is to pledge to finish your associates degree. My current undergrad major is an AS in Liberal Arts and Sciences (Math & Science). I also volunteer at an Ambulance Corp. for the neighborhood. I am planning on becoming a certified EMT before I graduate from my CC. I am planning to volunteer at North Shore LIJ hospital, the psychiatric outpatient clinic here in Glen Oaks. The only thing that I have to work on, is building my leadership skills. I suffer from a severe anxiety disorder known as social phobia. It can get difficult for me to encounter large classrooms, that is why I started low at my own pace in a community college. I wasn't a slacker in HS. Due to the mental disorder I was developing, I got forced to drop out of school because I couldn't function properly. It took a lot of effort to get myself back in school, yet alone finish HS. But I did finish with high marks and on the honor roll. So now that you have read a brief about my history, what are my chances of getting into NYU as a transfer? (BTW, I would like to major in psychology. Makes every sense since I am a patient myself, I know first hand what its like.)
Chances of getting into NYU Sports Management (Transfer)?
Quick rundown: 82 Highschool GPA (2.7-3.0 I guess?) **** kills me cuz I didn't give enough of a **** Freshman and Sophomore years. However, Junior and Senior year were quite strong. 1890 SAT (610 CR, 630 W, 650 M) Currently enrolled at Penn State Summer Semester where I'm supposed to continue into the Fall, but I'm homesick and want to go to NYU. I'll be finishing up the Summer Semester with most likely a 3.66 GPA. Highschool EC's: Varsity Volleyball Varsity Soccer Varsity Bowling A bunch of clubs to help raise money and awareness for stuff Held three jobs, one over the summer, and two of them during the school year. 30 hours a week. Wrote for Bleacher Report. I have a very good essay that got me into a bunch of mid-top public schools (Michigan State, Penn State, Illinois, Syracuse, Missouri, etc...) Then I'm going to Hofstra for a year. I also don't need any financial aid. If I maintain a 3.8 somehow at Hofstra, coupled with a 3.66 from Penn State, would I be able to get into NYU SCPS for Sports Management as a Transfer applicant, despite my low highschool GPA?
Transferring to NYU...?
I have a girlfriend, who, when she was younger, failed out of junior college. Then, for 10 years she did not pay on her student loans. Then she went to junior college and made fair grades....about a 3.2 for one or two years. Then when she was thity, she applied to the University of California at Berkeley for her last two years of undergrad, and they turned her down. She did not take "no" for an answer. She made an appointment with the admissions people and asked to go over her application to understand what it was that got her turned down. (Hello, right!?) So then I think she applied again and was turned down a second time. She made another appointment (I don't know if it was from the same person or not as the first appointment). She told them she had done what it was they said she was turned down for the first time, and asked why wasn't she admitted. She told them she needed to make an appointment with the next layer up. Next thing she knows is she gets a letter in the mail she's admitted. So she spend two years there and applied to law school and got in. I graduated with a 2.63 gradepoint undergrad. I showed up to all my undergrad classes and the head of the department knew me. I worked a few years after graduation and then applied for grad school. I had good test scores, not great ones. I got offered three full fellowships because I had great recommendations. Go for it. It's Baltz that count. My girlfriend got in over tons of people with 4.0 gradepoints and I got in with my crappy 2.63 undergrad, all because we had the nerve to ask. Good Luck.
How do I increase my chances of transferring to Stanford/NYU?
Transferring is a much easier way to get into a good, coveted college than applying out of HS. A lot of freshman and sophomores drop out or transfer out of those colleges and into other ones that a more suited to them. I would, however, make sure my grades are top notch while trying to apply. Transferring with high grades will show a college or university that you are a serious student who would be an asset to their student body.
