Dear Michael:
The Committee on Undergraduate Admissions has completed it's review of your application for transfer to New York University. The Committee Carefully Considered the credentials provided in support of your application, and it is with regret that I must inform you that we are unable to offer you admission.
Each year, NYU receives applications from many more qualified applicants than we are able3 to admit. This year we recieved over 4,500 aplications for a limited number of transfer spaces, making it the most competitive year for transfer admission in the history of the University. Unfortunately, we simply were not able to offer admission to every transfer applicant with strong credentials.
We sincerely appreciate the interest you have shown in New York University. On behalf of the Committee, I wish you every success in your future academic pursuits.
Sincerely,
Barbara F. Hall
Associate Provost for
Enrollment Management
Once upon a time, I wondered what I would do if I had my legs amputated. I decided I would play video games and watch movies - like everyone else.
