<p>I plan on applying ED to NYU this fall - but I have a few questions…</p>
<li>I’ve heard it’s significantly easier for men to get in than women. how true is this?</li>
<li>I’ve also heard it’s easier to get in if you don’t apply for financial aid - but isn’t NYU need-blind?</li>
<li>Lastly, is CAS the easiest college of nyu to get into?</li>
</ol>
<p>thanks for the help!</p>
<p>hiiiiii im applying ED to NYU too...maybe we can be buddies and help each other out??? lol do u have myspace/facebook?</p>
<p>eewwwwwwwwwwwwww</p>
<p>^????????</p>
<p>i'm wondering the same thing too</p>
<p>scorpion, u applying to nyu ed? mayber we can be friens lol? send me a message. i dont kno how to use this site tho >,<</p>
<p>richmerino, please don't hijack this thread. Can anyone answer my original questions?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I would assume that for men it's a bit easier because of the gender inbalance, but I suspect this varies from school to school. I doubt men have much advantage at Stern, but in CAS there might be one.</p></li>
<li><p>NYU always has the option to fill your financial aid package with loans instead of grants, work-study, or scholarships, so I doubt your need-status really matters. Others may disagree with me, though, but there's just no evidence that NYU turns down needy students.</p></li>
<li><p>CAS is probably "easiest" because of its size - it's the largest school so there are more seats available. However, if you're applying to say, Tisch, then it might be "easy" for you since your SAT scores matter less compared to applying to CAS, but instead, your portfolio matters much more. So it's relative.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Good luck, newyorkhopeful. Ask if you have more questions. :)</p>
<p>Also, boo to threadjacking.</p>
<p>thanks very much for the help!</p>
<p>one more question - are undergrads interviewed?</p>
<p>i don't think they offer interviews</p>
<p>nope. NYU doesn't do interviews.. the closest thing you'd have would be an audition/portfolio if you're going into tisch or steinhart.</p>
<p>k thanks!

<p>Back again- the last question on the supplement reads,
"Please tell us what led you to select your anticipated academic program and/or NYU school/college, and what interests you most about your intended discipline."</p>
<p>Is this question basically asking, "Why NYU?". I haven't decided on a major, and actually have no idea what I want to major in. Is this okay to write? thanks!</p>
<p>Yeah, it says "...and/or NYU school/college" so basically it's asking why are you applying to NYU and why are you want to go there. Also why you why you chose the certain college you are applying to over the others.</p>
<p>does being undecided hurt me?</p>
<p>No but being clueless might.</p>
<p>Some people who apply undecided get placed into CAS, others think it was applying undecided that got them into GSP.</p>
<p>The NYU admissions officer at one of this summer's sessions said that "undecided" is their most popular freshmen major. No, this does not hurt you, but that pretty much limits you to CAS. This makes answering the "Why NYU" question a bit more difficult to answer, but if you are applying ED you should have no problem answering it. If this is giving you a hard time, then you should not be applying ED.</p>
