a post for all of us Early Decisions

<p>and if someone is solid in everything but SATs would ED help them get in?</p>

<p>Yeah ED helps as opposed to RD of course - idk how much though...when the NYU Rep came to my school he said applying ED is very favored upon and the benefit is..they make exceptions because they can accept as many applicants ED as they see as "qualified" as opposed to RD where they have to fill a quota for the remaining spots.</p>

<p>but even though they can do that..i'm just worried that compared with other people applying even if my ecs and gpa is solid..my sat will kick me out..cause it mostly depends on how good the other applicants are that applied this year</p>

<p>and does nyu not look at writing as an SATI score?</p>

<p>you have good SAT score. Don't worry just apply and you will most probably get in. 1423 is the average, and if you took Statistics you would know that you should always be wary of average. The median gives a much better representation of the overall data. People have been accepted into Stern with 1200's. If I still have some hope with a 1330, you definetely have a good chance of getting in.</p>

<p>haha what i posted wasn't my sat scores..it was what i "thought" i would have gotten..but i didn't..actually a bit below it my only accurate score is writing..which they don't even look at that heavily i think</p>

<p>what is your score?</p>

<p>actually pretty close to yours</p>

<p>below or above? What are we play guess the score.</p>

<p>i have a 1300..so i don't plan on getting in</p>

<p>do you know how they weigh writing?</p>

<p>they don't really care about the writing, they said they will be "focusing" on the math and critical reading. From what I've heard they don't really care that much about sat II's either. You have good courses, so that should definetely help and good gpa. You should have applied ED, you would have had a good chance of getting in. RD is really hard because tons of people apply and then it just comes down to the numbers. I think ED, they actually spend the time and look at the application. I really hope I get in.</p>

<p>i did apply ED</p>

<p>you are my competition. We'll good luck, don't lose hope. can't wait for the letter.</p>

<p>it sucks how they give you a big purple envelope if you get in..when i get the small white one i won't even have to open it..i can just trash it since we all know what itll say</p>

<p>big and purple- reminds me of Barney</p>

<p>Wait, you get a purple envelope if you get in?</p>

<p>If GSP letters come tomorrow then I hope not to get any mail from NYU tomorrow!</p>

<p>no mail from nyu today!</p>

<p>tryin to make it to the weekenddddd, hopefully a nice big envelope involved somewhere too...</p>

<p>don't trash a skinny white envelope! What if it's a defferal!</p>
