To start off, I'm a senior in high school and recently got my rejection letter from NYU. It's been my dream school since I was very young but due to circumstances (going to a very rigorous school in the city, dealing with multiple personal problems, etc) my high school GPA is low, like an 84/100 (my guidance counselor said it was about a 3.0). I'm going to Binghamton for now because their in state tuition is the cheapest, and it's a pretty good school. I'd like to experience what it's like to be in a college campus, but I'm not sure if I will enjoy the isolation (I'm a city person and grew up/live in NYC). I'm determined to work hard and get myself together in college and would appreciate any helpful tips from other people who have successfully transferred to NYU, so that I can plan my academics and extracurriculars accordingly by the time I start my freshmen year in college. I'm planning to major in International Relations with a minor in political science btw.
