<p>This may seem really weird but does anyone else think that there is a connection b/t not getting an application confirmation letter in the mail and getting rejected? i looked at some peoples stuff from last yr and everyone who didnt get a letter in the mail was rejected and everyone who did get a letter in the mail got accepted. I didn't get a letter in the mail and now i'm really freaked out. Also, didn't NYU initially say that we would get 3 or 4 emails then a letter in the mail? But now on the NYU message board it says the emails are the confirmation.</p>
<p>Well when i read the first couple sentences of your response, I was going to say something alont the lines of "No, that's rediculous you're worrying yourself too much...."</p>
<p>But...can you show everyone how you came to the conclusion of not getting the letter and being rejected??</p>
<p>I probably am worrying way too much and it does seem quite ridiculous. But, I was looking at the early decision post from last yrs group when they were finding out and someone asked who got letters in the mail and who didnt. Not everyone responded with if they got a letter or not, but out of the ones who did, the ones who didn't were rejected and the ones who did were accepted. I think the post is called "a post for all of us early decisions".</p>
<p>I have a really hard time believing there's such a conspiracy.....breathe in and out.....you'll be ok</p>
<p>I probably am going mad, but why did some people get the letter (w/o any missing info) and others havent? Also, the guy on here who says he got accepted has gotten both email and letter.</p>
<p>The confirmation letters are sent within a week or two of receiving your transcript. Why, if they had already decided who's in and who's not, would NYU wait till mid-December to send out their decisions?</p>
<p>Have you received any mail from NYU? Last week someone posted a thread about receiving a large package with an NYU pamphlet that said "Any given day at NYU": <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=265572%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=265572</a></p>
<p>I would like to see where you got the idea that not receiving a confirmation letter means you're not accepted.</p>
<p>Yeah, i got that huge book in the mail last week. What you are saying totally makes sense, I didn't know that they sent it a couple of weeks after getting the transcript and such. I got the idea though from looking at last years applicants posts. It just seemed that there was a trend between getting a letter and getting accepted and not getting one and getting rejected. Does anyone know why though some people get a letter and others don't (not including the people missing materials)?</p>
<p>Maybe it's a paper vs. internet application thing? Why knows? I applied online this year and received a letter and four emails. I don't think there's any conspiracy.</p>
<p>yea i applied online too...i know it seems ridiculous but i really can't shake the feeling. can you tell me about when you submitted your app and when you got the letter and what it said?</p>
<p>I applied using the paper Common Application and had to call to confirm that my application was complete and I was being reviewed for ED. They said "We don't do that." when I asked about letters and emails.</p>
<p>thats funny because i just called and they were like "its complete...expect a letter of confirmation in a few days".</p>
<p>i applied online ED and got my letter within a week or so.. then the NYU opportunity programs called me and told me that my app was considered for one of the spots in the C-STEP program. Basically she told me they typically don't except students below a 1300 on the SATs.. WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. The opportunity programs (HEOP and C-STEP) are for students who scored b/w 1000-1300 on the SATs... i went in on tuesday for an interview and it went well...my fingers are crossed!!! NYU '11!!!!!</p>
<p>what do u mean its ridiculous
poeple with under a 1300 sat probably can never handle the workload at nyu</p>
<p>and b-sides</p>
<p>why would an extremely good school normally accept students with super low test scores...</p>
<p>Low gpa can always be explained
but theres never an excuse for low test scores</p>
<p>what is HEOP and C-STEP?</p>
<p>"but theres never an excuse for low test scores"</p>
<p>Psh....one could be sick, nervous, distracted, uncomfortable, a multitude of reasons. That's BS.</p>
<p>I hope TWIX is kidding. That doesn't even sound like a remotely serious assertion.</p>
<p>the biiig anydayinnyu book isnt something they send to ed accepted kids.
its for everyone.</p>
<p>obviously nyu sends some people letters and others just get emails. why is this?</p>
<p>BIGTWIX i dont think you understand the fact that many people (myself included) do POORLY on standardized tests that test a part of the brain in which many people are simply weak in. It DOES NOT IN ANY WAY represnent the work in college. I take difficult APs in my school and perform very well on them. GPA is MUCH more indicative of one's success in college than the SAT's. All the SAT's say about sommeone is that they are a good test taker who possess a great ability to concentrate for 4 hours straight..something i obviously lack. THE SAT'S ARE BS</p>
<p>BIGTWIX is a junior, he sends me PM's all the time bothering me with question about gallatin, i hope he doesnt get in when he applies unless he grows up until then.</p>
<p>Furthermore, there is some truth to what is being said. NYU relies very heavily on SAT scores due to the enormous applicant pool. something to keep in mind. As for SAT scores... there are people at NYU with below a 1300, its called GSP. Dont even attack me on this, I go here, I know alot of people in GSP.</p>
