I absolutely love this! Thank you so much!!! However, I will say one thing about the GPA cutoff, NYU definitely has academic minimums, especially for transfers, usually at least a 3.5. And most selective schools in general, I think, use this as a cutoff. The only time they might still consider your app despite not meeting the cutoff is if you have perfect or near-perfect sat or act or aps. (>1500, >33, 4 or 5). How do I know this? I literally called the admissions office and asked the NYU adcom about bad gpas and they directly told me. It also fits with the statistical data available for admitted and accepted students. Hope this helps!
Hi omg I love this video, I was wondering if you can explain the note taking process more. I would love to understand how I can put all the information that you suggested into my own application if that makes any sense.
Hi! I really should’ve explained Gallatin more in the video, I apologize haha but it’s basically where you design your own concentration but on paper/diploma it will be an individualized studies major. Gallatin does have requirements like seminars and writing workshops but once you complete those, you can technically take any class you want at other schools that allow cross registration. Hopefully that explains everything in a nutshell! Let me know if you have more questions!
Hello 👋 You advised not to submit ec's from highschool that aren't significant enough. I have ec's from both highschool and college that I made a lot of impact in......like a lot! So do I submit it? And I'm a freshman in my college, I plan to transfer for next year fall I just finished first semester taking 24 credits and I'll do the same in second semester because that is how rigorous schools in my home country is
I really really want to transfer to NYU, I’m about to start at Pace as a freshman so I want to be as prepared as possible, and I was reading the nyu transfer student section and they said they don’t offer any awards or scholarships to transfer students, which is kind of a deal breaker.
What would you say is the importance of extracurriculars when applying to NYU as a transfer student vs applying to NYU as a first year? Is the format for listing ECs on the common app the same as a transfer student?
Hi Rosy, I was wondering on your opinion of transferring as a Junior. I’m a upcoming Junior in the fall at my university and a lot of colleges/universities don’t really accept transfer students that has done more than two years at their current university. Should I not attend my fall semester and still apply to give me a higher chance? Or should I still attend my classes in the fall and apply to see which one accepts me? Could I negotiate if the only issue my transferring university has with me is that I have too many credits? Thank you!
Hi! I'm honestly not too sure about your situation since you're right, many colleges prefer transfer students who have done no more than two years. However, a friend of mine who is a rising senior actually got into NYU Tisch, but their process is very different due to auditioning. I strongly recommend that you meet with transfer advisors from the colleges you want to transfer to and explain your situation. Go on their website, fill out a form, or even better, call/email them directly. They are the ones that can give you more meaningul and accurate advice. Good luck!
Did you ever figure this out? I’m in the same boat as you, trying to see if it’s worth dropping out this semester to help my chances of transferring. Waitlisted as a freshman and now applying to transfer as a junior.
@@tasty0rang3 Hi, yes I did. I did actually drop out this semester due to some personal issues. What I found out is that there are some universities that do not accept transfer that have entered/done their junior year of college due to the fact that they require for transfers to be at their university for at least 2-3 years. There are universities that allow anyone to transfer due to them limiting the amount of credits that transfer, which means you’ll have to start as a freshman or sophomore again anyways. There were some universities that accepts transfers, doesn’t matter what year you’re currently in, but they do not accept transfers into some of their programs such as say like their theatre program. There were programs that require me to restart all of college even if my credits transferred 😂, to which I passed on. Look at the transfer requirements to get into the university and then look into the program you want to get into to see if there are additional supplements. To be honest, for myself I think taking a gap year had more cons for me on my applications. It’s harder for me to connect with Professors who are writing my letters of recommendations and getting forms from my uni to the universities I’m applying to. Since I’m majoring in music and theatre, I lost some skills from not constantly practice my art. I’m currently not doing anything related to theatre too due to my situation, but I’m happy at where I am now. I don’t have to worry about applying to universities that don’t accept juniors. There are also parts of the application that I can make good to back me up such as my essays and resumes. I would say if you’re going to take a gap year and apply to transfer then you gotta do something that supports you taking a gap year. Colleges are going to ask why you’re taking a gap year and not starting your upcoming/current school year. They don’t want you doing nothing. I hope this helps.
Hi! For the letter of recommendation, did you remember if it had to be from a college professor? Or could it be anybody? And you had to provide high school transcripts as a transfer applicant?
If it’s the only experience you had, then of course put high school extracurriculars! College ec’s have priority; however, adding your high school involvement won’t hurt you at all. Admissions will take grades, essays, and letter of recs into account. Don’t be discouraged! :)
Hi its really helpful. Recently i got in nyu,stony brook,rutgers, military academy in engineering transfer from community college Considering the financial matter, world ranking and job market which university i should go for plz let me know.
Congratulations! It depends on what your goals are. Look at which school has the best engineering program and will give you better financial aid. There are many scholarships for transfer students from public and private universities. Also, look into the Jack Kent Scholarship for transfer students. Good luck! Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Hey, Rosy :,) What if specific requirements for some courses, for example taking Calculus I, right now at my university I am not taking them? Of course, it is worth mentioning that I am an international student can I send courses that are similar? Because I am studying Management but I want to apply for Business at Stern. Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, please :( I've been writing to many NYU students but you are the only one to answer me so far.
Hi Zaleth! To make sure, I would reach out to a Stern Business School advisor/transfer advisor. But to my knowledge, you must complete the requirements at your university before applying to Stern. Good luck :)
Hey Rosy! For the Why NYU essay, did you explicitly say what you wanted your concentration to be at Gallatin? I really like the idea of creating your own individual major, but I'm not sure how specific I should get with the essay.
Hi! Yes, I did. I basically explained why I wanted to study at Gallatin specifically, following with what I wanted to study exactly! Watch my latest video- that’s where I get more into my essays!
Also do you think it matters which university you are transferring from into NYU? Like for say, whether you are transferring from Carnegie Mellon (which has massive grade deflation and incredibly challenging coursework in general) with a 3.4 GPA compared to if you are transferring from a community college with a 3.9 GPA, would the standards for evaluating GPA and EC be different for the students? Btw I'm not saying CCs are bad at all but I'm just wondering if there are different standards regrading the application depending on what school you are transferring from
It really all depends. I cannot speak for NYU's admissions committee; however, I was able to get accepted as a student from a public university that isn't as well ranked as other institutions, like UCLA. I don't know NYU's standards. But, GPA is GPA! They look at you holistically.

@@rosy-holidaydo they need sats for transfers?

You’re welcome! Good luck :)
can you do a video on explaining gallatin? i’m thinking about transferring too but confused on what “individualized study” really means.
Hi!

you answered your own question love 🤍
I really really want to transfer to NYU, I’m about to start at Pace as a freshman so I want to be as prepared as possible, and I was reading the nyu transfer student section and they said they don’t offer any awards or scholarships to transfer students, which is kind of a deal breaker.
I know right... biggest reason why I decided not to go. The city itself has the best resources not just the school! Good luck at Pace.
Did you do it?
What would you say is the importance of extracurriculars when applying to NYU as a transfer student vs applying to NYU as a first year? Is the format for listing ECs on the common app the same as a transfer student?
I discussed the importance and the comparisons in my video! Yes, it is the same, if not similar, I believe.

Hi! For the letter of recommendation, did you remember if it had to be from a college professor? Or could it be anybody? And you had to provide high school transcripts as a transfer applicant?
Letter of recs are on NYU’s website and the transcript information is discussed in my video :)
Ahhhh when you said dont add HS stuff in extracurriculars, but I didn't do much in college right now :( I worked but COVID cut it off short ahh
If it’s the only experience you had, then of course put high school extracurriculars! College ec’s have priority; however, adding your high school involvement won’t hurt you at all. Admissions will take grades, essays, and letter of recs into account. Don’t be discouraged! :)
@@rosy-holiday thank youuu!! Im so worried about the rec letters, because what if they arent that special :(((
@@kalexis6484 They don't have to be! Anyone who is willing to write/sign a letter of rec for you is special enough. A professor is perfect!
Do we have to give sat or act for transfer students
watch the video

Do you think it’s easier to get into the fall or spring as a transfer?
I don’t think the semester you apply for affects your chances of admission :)
Hi! I also applied as a transfer student and was wondering when you got your results?
Beginning of May 2020 :)
AMAZING!
One question, Can I change my career when I am a transfer student?
Yes of course! You will just have to complete the requirements for your chosen degree program.
what was the word count of both of your essays? First year applicant gets a 400 word limit for their Why NYU essay but the transfer one is 2500...
Hello! The word count for transfer applicants is mentioned in the video :) I don’t remember from the top of my head 😅 Good luck!
For the transfer essay, can it be on whatever or does it have to be about why you want to transfer
The prompt is in the video :)
Do they give bad aid for low income transfers?
It depends on your FAFSA and CSS profile. I personally received only student loans

wait i’m so jealous🥺 new york city HFKSJDDS
Do they allow transfer students to submit CSS profiles? I really need that financial aid :')
Yes! It's actually required to submit the CSS profile in order to be considered for NYU scholarships. Make sure to fill and submit ASAP!
Did you apply with the 21 act?
This is mentioned in my video
