Is NYU a good school to do a year at for high GPA, then transfer?

[Anonymous]

Daughter was just rejected from the Ivy she wants to attend. An older girl she knows is at NYU for a year and just got into the Ivy she wants to attend. Wasn't sure if that was a common move. She doesn't want to do a gap year.

NYU is now an elite, highly competitive college. NY college or Manhattan College or City University not so much

Of course there is no guarantee but if managed to get a very high GPA freshmen year at NYU she stands a chance. Also depends on which ivy you are talking about. If it HYP, the chances are close to nil. they take an insanely small number of transfers every year. If it is one of the other ones, her chances are quite better.

Is NYU known for grade inflation?

Their law school, Stern business school (undergrad and MBA), and Tisch performing arts are elite.

We are talking about college here, not grad school. Stern is better than the rest of undergrad but hardly elite, full of ivy+ rejects.

Yes there are quite a few NYU kids transferring to Penn each year. It will be quite competitive though so she needs to make sure her GPA is top.

Penn.

Is Penn considered Ivy League? Isn't it a state school?

It's certainly known for cost inflation.

lol nice try. if you are that unsophisticated and uneducated that you don't know the difference between Penn and Penn state then you got bigger problems.
