My stats aren’t amazing, but they’re much higher than most NYU applicants (1530 SATI, 800/800/800/790 SATII, three 5s, 10 APs in total, 4.0, 99th).
Can they reject me if they think there’s no chance I’ll actually go there?
(I actually really wanna go there for a bunch of reasons).
<p>Tuft's syndrome... possibly.</p>
<p>99th??????</p>
<p>i think he means hes in the top percentile..</p>
<p>If you really want to go there you could trying writing them a letter telling them they are your top choice or whatever.</p>
<p>also, after u get an acceptance from other school...say Columbia or something, send them ur columbia acceptance and say you were accepted to other great schools but that NYU is genuinely your top choice</p>
<p>I think it was probably your essay, even though I didn't look at it. Did you make a point of you desiring to attend NYU? Good luck with all this though, you deserve it. ;-)</p>
<p>Your stats are only part of the admissions process and may get you over the first hurdle and into committee where there they will discuss your grades, EC's, recommendations, essays, whether you need financial aid (because NYU is not need blind). It would also depend on which school you were applying to as there are different critera for different schools.</p>
<p>Even if your SATs are 1530, if your grades aren't pretty much aligned with your scores (say you are a "B" student with a 3.1/3.2 gpa (because grades are still the most important factor in the admissions process), you would most likely be rejected because your record shows that you test well but are not putting the effort in your class work) .</p>
<p>Say for example you are applying to Stern, and have never worked and there are students that started their own business or have done something that shows their entreprenural skills, even with lower SAT scores, they may knock you out of the box.</p>
<p>Regarding the statement:</p>
<p>"after u get an acceptance from other school...say Columbia or something, send them ur columbia acceptance and say you were accepted to other great schools but that NYU is genuinely your top choice'</p>
<p>Once you have been rejected the process is over and it does not matter what other schools you have been admitted to.</p>

<p>***? you dont think you have amazing stats? whats wrong with some of the people on cc? i understand if you think you could do better, but at least accept you have great stats...</p>
<p>and take this as a compliment..</p>
<p>hahaha...i just noticed that if you type the letter w...t...f together, it automatically posts ***. thats hilarious....</p>
<p>***--that's weird.</p>
<p>same with p.i.s.s.e.d ****ed</p>
<p>huh?? did the op actually get rejected, and is blaming on him being too good, or is he worried that he will get rejected because he was too good? i dont think they would reject you for being too good, and ill be very very surprised if you do get rejected, cuz its not like nyu is some dumb school, its actually really really good and competitive</p>
<p>it actually happens that some schools that are trying to raise their yield will reject candidates they think have little real interest in them.</p>
<p>however there's an easy fix. Monday morning, march into your HS counselor's office and ask them to call NYU admissions and check on your app. Have the counselor stress to them that you really ARE interested in NYU and will likely enroll if accepted.</p>

<p>Actually you CAN get in after the process is over...people at my school have done it. someone was accepted to Harvard but wanted to attend Boston University really badly even though they were rejected but the kid got in after he expressed his interests at BU</p>
<p>*** haha they do edit it out.</p>
<p>possibly, if you don't clearly show that nyu is your top choice. if they do reject you, you should call the admissions office and ask why. if they say it's because there were better applicants, then you're out of luck, but i know of people who called and got in (not to nyu, but i suppose it should be similar if it happens to you) when they made it clear that the school was their top choice.</p>
