<p>I have a feeling it's for RD. 100+ applicants to any particular major is a bit lofty, except maybe in Tisch.</p>
<p>yeah but it's basically a school, not just a major</p>
<p>did any of you write an additional essay for the program?
i was unaware about it i just figured it out a couple days ago on the website, so i am bit nervous.</p>
<p>Good point. Well, it doesn't really matter either way - we're either in or out! (Hopefully the latter). I'm going to bed. Hopefully I won't think about it too much! Talk to you guys tomorrow! Good luck!!!</p>
<p>Yeah, I went on the NYU website and saw that there's a special requirement for GLS - personal essay.</p>
<p>Haha, I was so close to quitting! Ok real quick - as it turns out they added that requirement a little late the admissions process so it will only matter for RD applicants. If you sent it in for ED, it doesn't give you any advantage over anyone who didn't. I found that webpage too, freaked out (because I hadn't done the essay) and my counselor called and cleared things up.</p>
<p>So in short, if you did it - great! If not, it doesn't matter.</p>
<p>NOW I'm going to bed :)</p>
<p>Yesss!!!!!</p>

<p>I can't believe I didn't get my letter today. This is unbelievable. The other girl in my town who applied to NYU got her acceptance letter today. This is so aggravating. I probably got rejected. I'm calling tomorrow and harassing the hell out of them until I get an answer.</p>
<p>ummm i didn't either
and i know everyone who applied found out
i am so upset
i definately got rejected. i called today and they told me that we should find out in the next few days and that rejection and acceptance letters are sent at the same time</p>
<p>How many are early accepted to GLS?</p>
