<p>I'm currently leaning towards applying ED to Stern next year. However, I'm wondering if I decide to do this, can I apply to other schools EA or rolling admission schools in the early fall, as long as I agree to attend NYU regardless of the other acceptances I might receive? </p>
<p>I am nearly 100% sure I want to attend Stern (I haven't visited yet, though) but in the (semi-likely) even that I'm rejected, it would be nice to know from a few other schools in December or January.</p>
<p>I'm under the impression that you can. Once you get your decision back, you have to withdraw your others.</p>
<p>okay perfect.<br>
with admissions being what they are, it would be nice to have at least one acceptance in the fall, even if it isn't the one that I REALLY REALLY want.</p>
<p>You can apply to other EA and early deadline schools (such as the UC's) as long as you go to Stern if you are accepted.</p>
<p>I applied to quite a few EA and rolling schools. I was lucky my second, third & fourth choice schools were rolling. When I got into the second in November and the fourth with a 24k/year merit award in October, it took a Lot of stress off that NYU letter coming (well maybe not that much stress). Had I NOT gotten into NYU I probably wouldn't have sent out any more applications than the 5 I had. Maybe I would have sent the common Ap off to a couple of "Hail Mary" schools figuring I had nothing to lose.</p>
<p>I would suggest the ED thing if it's an overwelming first choice and Financial Aid is not a big deal. This year the number of kids applying ED was the same as last, while the RD pool went up 9%. PLUS you get dibs on dorms and that's a huge benefit.</p>
<p>best of Luck</p>
<p>thanks. </p>
<p>yeah, I mean, some financial help would be nice, but we can handle it without it, and it's worth it to me to apply ED. </p>
<p>The smaller applicant pool is also appealing, because I feel like maybe my really strong points with stick out more then they would in a pool of thousands.</p>
<p>Whatever you end up deciding, make sure that you submit all of your RD applications on time and put 110% effort into their supplements. I got all 13 of my apps out in October, despite the fact that I was convinced I would get accepted to Claremont McKenna ED. I was denied, and I am SO glad I did all those other apps, unlike some of my friends who were left scrambling at the last minute. Best of luck.</p>
<p>thanks, that's really good advice. </p>
<p>haha, how was the recovery period for that? </p>
<p>I'm not so convinced that I'll get into stern, but I still have my heart beyond set on going there.</p>
<p>I have my heart completely set on NYU as well, I won't go to college unless its NYU. :P</p>
<p>Unfortunately, my stats right now are about average. A 92 (3.6) GPA and a project SAT scores of 2000-2100 according to my SAT Prep class. I have a bunch of ECs, working on a good personal statement, and kissing ass to all my teachers for recommandations lol.</p>
<p>I know it's a death wish if I apply to Stern next year, but I think I can make it into CAS. And ED would really help my chances, right? :D</p>
<p>I'm Asian, so that's never good, lol. Though do NYU applications ask for specific ethnicities? Cause I'm half Chinese and half Indonesian, which is an URM I guess so could that work in my favor? Though if they just lump all that into Asian, I'm pretty much screwed lol.</p>
<p>hannahtastic, if you really want to get into NYU like me and want to be on the safe side, I think you should apply to CAS. Then work your ass off freshman year and hope for a transfer to Stern. I've seen kids with 2200 SATs get rejected from Stern, it's pretty scary.</p>
<p>Indonesian isn't exactly an URM... traditionally, URMs have been blacks and Hispanics.</p>
<p>Oh and on that note, it's supposedly exceptionally hard to transfer into Stern from CAS.</p>
<p>Yeah but anything's possible right?</p>
<p>Well...fine. I always wanted to be black. lol :P</p>
<p>they said that you should apply to the program you're interested in... </p>
<p>I don't want to end up with an english degree when finance is my passion. I mean, I go back and forth, but I don't want to go to NYU, I want to go to Stern. </p>
<p>I'd rather not settle.</p>
<p>If you apply ED to Stern you can apply only to non-restrictive EA programs. Some EA programs do not allow you to apply if you also apply ED elsewhere. Read the fine print carefully.</p>
<p>If you apply ED, make sure that you finalize your list and get all your RD apps ready at the same time. The last thing you want is to get smacked between the eyes by a rejection in mid-December, and have to wipe yourself from the floor to start writing essays on a short notice. Also be aware of the deadlines imposed by your own school. Remember that Christmas break starts in the second half of December, which means that your counselor and registrar may be on vacation right when you need them to be sending out transcripts and recommendations for you. It is probably best to get all your RD recs and transcripts sent in together with your ED stuff, but hold off on applying until you get your ED. That will allow you to minimize your expenses, while removing the stress of getting all your RD apps in within a matter of a week should you need to do so.</p>
<p>For NYU ED, they allow you to send out applications to other schools as well. It's just that, if you're accepted you have to immediately withdraw those applications (whichs means you don't know if you got in and if they offered you more money). You also have to make a deposit to NYU within three weeks I think.</p>
<p>But yeah, I was looking through this ED</a> Accepted list and based on their scores, I think you could make it. See ya in NYU hopefully. :P Are you a URM?</p>
<p>NYU may allow you to apply elsewhere, but elsewhere may not allow you to apply to NYU. For example, Stanford's EA is restrictive: Stanford:</a> Applying to Stanford | Freshman Applicants | Restrictive/Single-Choice Early Action</p>

Restrictive/Single-Choice Early Action allows you to apply to as many colleges as you want under a regular admission timeframe, but it does require that you not submit an application to any school under another early decision, early action, or early notification program/plan with the following exceptions
