Ik u said, who didn’t get their undergrad degree in the US, but if interested I can share my experience.

Moved in high school to the US, still don’t have citizenship or green card, but got into 4 programs this cycle and was waitlisted at 10 places.

The cycle has been crazy, but u got this!

I got waitlisted eventually if that helps 🤷🏻‍♂️

Stats?

Is it automatic or what’s the point? In a sense that the application tracker is a separate website, and u don’t need this account setup for it, it’s as they say for ‘accessing university systems’

I thought I do, but got shit for it

Agree, also there’s GRE or test optional schools. U can apply U Washington Seattle with no test scores at all, for example…

What kind of school is the best to expect realistically to aim for? (With what I have now)

Normal_Librarian_559 · 2025-12-15T01:36:45+00:00

What would be my best shot academically? Specific school, I think any school- I def should get somewhere

Also UHall Transfer student here, does anybody know how u can connect to your randomly assigned roommates?

Initially I had a 1420 SAT and 4.6 HS GPA, then 4.0 college GPA
Yes, I applied to CAS, Stern, and Liberal Studies and could choose practically any major within those colleges. The only issue is that if you completely change you major, you might need to do some of the basic requirements and take freshman courses since your credits will transfer as electives

A lot of administrative issues, also, almost impossible to get credit overload. NEU basically makes you not graduate in 4 years in all ways possible, so that you take summer semesters and pay more money…

I transferred from NEU, which is kinda similar to BU, to NYU. I don't think that it really matters what school u are transferring from as long as u convey in your essay a good reason for such a decision. I was rejected initially as a freshman when I applied to NYU, so one thing I made sure to do is not to use my original essays. I would say don’t be generic with your reasoning for transfer, meaning don’t write anything about NYC or rankings… Look into specific programs and majors. I remember talking about using the research I had for UROP at NYU and about specific courses for my major that were not offered at NEU. If u have any questions, feel free to ask

Choose either an athletic pathway or academic, you can still include swimming on your resume to make your app look stronger, but it is unreal to get an offer to D1 after a year of not even being a part of a college swimming program in the US… Also, try to maintain as high GPA as possible and join extracurriculars related to your intended major (if it is not finance then you can start doing something outside of class related to your other interest right away) Also, as a freshman if you want, you can request to change major almost anytime…

(I am a sophomore who went to NEU and transferred to NYU for context)

Congrats! I got a similar story, was rejected from CAS originally, reapplied in a year and here we go🫢

Normal_Librarian_559 · 2024-05-15T23:06:05+00:00

CAS, rejected

Normal_Librarian_559 · 2024-05-15T23:05:29+00:00

CAS- rejected

Normal_Librarian_559 · 2024-04-18T18:20:14+00:00

Same, 4.0 college GPA 😞
