NYU transfer/traditional 2014

We are alike, I love it! My lease ends this month actually- the 22nd. I didn't even think about it when I signed my lease, but it was only a six month lease. I think it was kind of the Lord because now I want to move across the country! Before I wouldn't have even thought twice and signed for a year, but this guy only wanted six months... coincidence? I think not!

I turned in my app in the middle of February. I thought I would have some kind of priority registration, but I definitely didn't- it says regular decision on my application status thing. When did you apply?

I didn't apply until March and then there was some issue with my transcript to the point that I had to physically pick a copy up from school and mail it myself. I absolutely don't think it was a coincidence. I believe that God is a god of order. While things may not be perfect He def puts things into place long before we know it's even necessary! I have cut all financial ties here so there will be nothing holding me back when it's time for me to leave in August. Now I'm just trusting that it wasn't all for nothing.

Dang! Yeah, transcript stuff is always tricky. I've been to a lot of colleges so it's always a pain in the butt!

so many things seem to be lining up for me to leave Cali too- so I'm very hopeful.

Do you have a plan at all if you done get in? I'm mean, duh- we're getting in, but just in case??

I just looked again at the on-campus housing- it doesn't look too bad. Unless you found a few roommates to live with it would be so much cheaper than an apt in town. I feel like the rooms would be pretty hard to get- I bet there are a lot of people trying to live in them.

.. ok, I need to stop- I just got so excited all over again looking at the housing. I want to be there!!!!!!

If I don't get in I'm going to apply to LIU because they have rolling admissions. The dorm housing is pretty great right?! I just spoke with a woman in admissions because this semester's grades just came out and my GPA has improved. She asked for my name and told me to email it but she wasn't sure if it would make it in time. I'm pretty sure that means that they are or will be looking at my application soon. I'm so nervous I could puke lol! Yea housing is pretty limited but I'm having faith for all of this so I'll have faith for that too. At the very least there may be someone looking to rent a room to a student. People do it all the time here. Just a thought. AAAAAAAAAAH! I'm too excited and anxious and everything else.

Oh I almost forgot, she did confirm that transfer decisions also went out on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight! It's so hard because I keep going back and forth between feeling confident that I am a strong applicant and believing all roads lead to NYU and being nervous and thinking about the 'what-if' and disappointment of not getting in.

2bnursebeckky · May 14, 2014

Yeah, I'm kind of the same. I don't have a lot of extra-curriculars (pretty much none really), but if they like veterans I think I might have a chance! My recommendation letter knocked even my socks off- so maybe they'll be impressed. I don't think my essays were that great- I didn't even look at them for a few weeks after I submitted because I knew how critical I would be. I have so much going on with school right now that I'm just trying to get through the next two weeks- but I am ready for an answer. I feel like I've kinda been in limbo since Feb- not sure how settled into my apt go get and thinking of moving across the country- oh so exciting.

Are you worried about the cost of tuition at all? My dad has been all over me about it being "100%" more expensive- come on dad! I know its going to be expensive, but I think so so worth it! :up:

Bryant87 · May 14, 2014

The cost is definitely steep but I look at the whole experience of living in NYC and living my dream. That's priceless to me. Your GPA was a lot higher than mine as well so I feel like it balances out. When I spoke to the woman earlier I was able to make her laugh a few times so hopefully she'll take those good feelings with her when/if she reads my application lol

2bnursebeckky · May 14, 2014

I feel the same. I feel like you can't put a price tag on an experience like that! I think my dad (and mom) just aren't to keen on my moving so far away.

I was so nervous to call them, LOL. I had to make sure all my transcripts and stuff were in, they said yeah. The lady I talked to though wasn't that nice :/

Bryant87 · May 14, 2014

Really? Everyone I've talked has been super friendly and helpful. I had to call ***** due to the transcript shenanigans. Yea I'm sure you moving so far away isn't their number one choice. Do you have siblings? I am so jumbled. I've literally never wanted anything his badly.

2bnursebeckky · May 14, 2014

Well, the initial lady was a sweetheart- asked if I wanted to be transferred to an admissions counselor, or something like that. The second lady I spoke with was short with me. I'm sure they have been getting 5 million calls, so I understand.

My excitement is def less than it was in Feb. I'm just ready to hear already!!

I have two sisters- one is an Army wife stationed in WA state, the other is in northern California- you?

Bryant87 · May 14, 2014

Well I'd rather wait for a yes than get a quick no lol. I understand though, I am beyond antsy. I have an older brother and an older sister both married with children.
