<p>i just got an unofficial acceptance today in the mail</p>
<p>why is it unofficial?</p>
<p>what?? what did it say? stats pls?</p>
<p>it was just a card saing "Congratulations! your official offer of admissions to the college of arts and sciences will be on the way to you." So i don't know whether to call it official or not...but it's basically an acceptance</p>
<p>GPA: 97.5 weighted, private school
rank 2/57
SAT: 800 M, 760 CR, 730 WR
SATII: 800 M2, 800 Chem, 720 Lit
12 AP exams:
5 on calc bc in 10th
5 on both physics c's and chem in 11th
3 on english 11th
taking both econs, stats, english lit, french lang, psychology, and human geography this year</p>
<p>haha maybe your friend made a little card as a prank. lol jk.</p>
<p>oh and btw pls dont tell me NYU is your top choice... you should be aiming higher.</p>
<p>It's my backup school; but my acceptance still makes me happy because now I can breathe easily since although it is not my top school, I still wouldn't hate to go there. My top school is either Harvard or Yale; I find out in about 3 weeks.</p>
<p>oh ok haha i figured it was gonna be one of those two, or MIT/princeton or something. anyway congrats and good luck on your other apps.</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS! awesome stats btw! good luck on Yale/Harvard =)</p>
<p>do you know if NYU does that for all applicants who are going to be accpeted? or is it only for a few people?</p>
<p>Thank you for your congratulations and good wishes, and good luck to all of you on NYU and any other colleges you are applying to. I have no idea whether this acceptance is for all CAS kids or a select few. I know the GSP kids got their acceptances a while ago all together so I'm not sure.</p>
<p>i just got a letter in the mail today too!
accepted CAS woot!!
this definitely makes me happy (:</p>
<p>congratulations guys~ (just a hunch: they mail these out to the best of the applicants so they can have a few weeks to actually consider NYU as a real choice, sort of like GSP kids?)</p>
<p>I got one too!</p>
<p>yeah based on mine and the most recent poster's stats, that looks like it's the case; so you other guys shouldn't worry too much, but good luck!</p>
<p>watchyourstep how do you report AP exam scores to NYU on their application? I self studied for a few AP tests too and got 5 on all of em but didnt see any place on the app to report those scores....</p>
<p>good point...come to think of it i don't think i did lol...sorry I forgot about that detail completely; but nonetheless my courseload includes all of those so the difference isn't huge</p>
<p>lol...would you consider "Student News" brochures and "Parent News" brochures sent to me by NYU as indication of likely acceptance? cuz i doubt NYU will send these recruitment materials to all 37000 applicants, thousands of whom will get rejected...</p>
<p>no, those are in no way signs of likely admittance.</p>
<p>quag_mire you could call up College Board and for a fee (as expected) you can deliver the scores to them electronically, a couple more dollars and it's done in 2 days. I remember for my app I put AP scholar award but I dimwittedly forgot to mention the scores (3 5's on bio/lang/apush) so in my nervous state I called up College Board and had them rush deliver the scores... I was desperate I suppose.</p>
<p>Congrats to those of you who have received these letters! I just replied in the 'likely letter' thread, explaining how these letters have been used in the past.</p>
<p>It means you're in! Best of luck to all of you who are still waiting!</p>
