if I want to transfer to nyu is it better to go to washu or cardozo

SpecialCrowdedElemental

15:04

(also why does nyu accept so many transfers from brooklyn lmao, what other t125 will let you transfer that high)

c0bra1

15:07

transferring is grades dependent so "better" is a little weird to define - a lot of ppl don't want to give up schollys/networks for ranking purposes. that being said im going to dozo and hoping for a nyu transfer lol

c0bra1

15:08

i think they take a lot from brooklyn just by the nature of being a nyc school. 3 out of 15 transfers out of cardozo went to nyu last year which is technically a good sign but you'd consider that the rate of ppl at washu wanting to move to nyc and pay sticker after a year is probably lower than the rate of ppl at nyc schools who want to

i dont really know how important it is to be median vs 75th of transfer gpa but id imagine keeping a B+/A- average is pretty hard in 1L and easier said than done

what do you guys think about nova southeastern is it a decent school

AngryMiniCar

10:09

I saw someone got a full-ride in exchange for deferring. I didn't even know that was a thing? Has it happened to anyone else?

AngryMiniCar

10:12

@GatorNation: I don't know that school all that well. But it's ranked really low and usually rankings don't matter much if you're just trying to practice. But I'd be careful and look on reddit. Cause some of these schools can be highkey predatory.

AngryMiniCar

Like some schools have a conditional scholarship that they take away from you at the drop of a hat and no faculty support in 1L so a lot of people get fucked. I know someone who got screwed by Western New England. Not saying that it is just that I wouldn't think of making it my go-to without digging into it.

GatorNation

Ok thank you!

NemoPropheta

10:35

check the 509 report, should show bar passage rate, employment data, and percent of students that retained their scholarship after 1L
