<p>So I got a letter from nyu poly about being accepted there, and how I was referred from nyu. Does this mean my application was rejected form nyu or do i still have a chance at getting accepting at NYU?</p>
<p>I think it means you are rejected from NYU.</p>
<p>Let me guess. You applied to CAS with an intended major for Computer Science?</p>
<p>Yeah I did</p>
<p>So it means my application was rejected?</p>
<p>I am not sure. The wording is a little vague. It doesn’t say you were declined admission like it does on the other NYU rejection e-mails, it simply says you were offered admission to NYU-Poly instead of NYU, which now that I think about it, sounds like a rejection.</p>
<p>You said you received a letter. In the mail? Or an e-mail?</p>
<p>I got the same e-mail. I applied to CAS for Computer Science and strongly feel I should have gotten into CAS without a hitch.</p>
<p>It was actually not an email but a letter. Also it had the NYU Poly theme and embroidery, not NYU’s.</p>
<p>Did you apply under the Early Decision II plan for NYU? If so, you should have gotten a response already.</p>
<p>Did you apply under the Regular Decision plan for NYU? If so, then you still have a chance at NYU and will find out by April 1st.</p>
<p>@Karmic93</p>
<p>Actually I have a question for you. When you login into NYU’s system and check your application status does it say anything (rejected or accepted), or does it say your application is complete and that’s it</p>
<p>And it was regular decision</p>
<p>All it says is completed.</p>
<p>And if it was regular decision then you will have a chance to for NYU CAS come April 1st. NYU is forwarding their Comp Sci/Bio/Chem applicants to NYU-Poly in an attempt to attract more people there.</p>
<p>I applied to NYU CAS early decision and was rejected, but admitted to NYU-Poly. which kind of sucks because no matter how many times they try to tell me its the same thing, its really not.</p>
<p>Ok thanks, and yeah that sucks.</p>
<p>It’s the difference between a B.A and a B.S degree really. Poly no longer has straight up bio/chem majors, but yea there’s a big difference between tormented by engineering courses (B.S) and taking enjoyable liberal arts classes at Washington Square (B.A)…well other than WTE (Writing the Essay) which will cause sleepless nights. I’m gonna go ahead and guess it’s going to be mostly the CS majors that get redirected to poly</p>
<p>I applied RD to CAS, so do you think it’s possible I’ll be referred to NYU Poly. (Although in my essays I strongly stated hinted that I also minor in nutrition.)
I don’t understand why they’re doing this. Nothing against NYU-poly, but they emailed me a ton of times and I never applied, because there is absolutely no way my family will let me live in Brooklyn, no matter how many times I tried talking to them. I’d rather a flat out rejection. But I guess for some people, who wouldn’t’ve gotten in, it’s a good opportunity. I just wish it could be more clear because it seems like a rejection, but in some cases it isn’t?</p>
<p>I feel like if I didn’t choose Comp Sci as my major I would have gotten in to CAS no problem. The whole point of NYU is the fact that it is IN the middle of the city. My essay was about how growing up in MANHATTAN affected the way I am today.</p>
<p>I hate the vague wording on the rejection email. It doesn’t say you’re rejected. It just says they reviewed your application and felt you were a “Better match” for Poly. It’s not like I didn’t know NYU Poly existed before. If I felt it was a better match for me I would have applied there, wouldn’t I?</p>
<p>Apparently if you want to Transfer from NYU Poly to NYU, you have to go through the entire procedure for EXTERNAL transfers. It’s not even the same school and I don’t plan on attending based solely on false promises of “It will become fully integrated by the time you graduate”. I’ll see what kind of merit scholarship they give me. It’ll take a lot of money to get me to go there. I didn’t even specify I wanted to pursue a B.S degree. I wanted a B.A degree so I can minor in political science. I specified this too.</p>
<p>^ ouch! As a current student there, I have to ask, why do you say it’s a “false promise”? with all due respect, a prospective student wouldn’t typically be an expert on the topic of something as outlandish-sounding as an NYU/Polytechnic merger 
anyways, it’s actually supposed to be fully integrated by 2012, which is basically closer to the time you enter NYU-Poly, not graduate from it…just saying. I don’t mean to get defensive, but don’t hate. I got into Carnegie Mellon’s School of CS and chose this place over it, somehow (haha).</p>
<p>It sounds like you guys are kind of looking at NYU-Poly as the reject school. In your case, I have no idea if it’s a rejection and really more of a referral, but they are getting rid of computer science at NYU and moving it to Poly. We’re getting pretty cool compsci facilities (like a game innovation lab! not to mention our unique annual national hacking/cyber security competition). And that’s the most I’ll try and sell you…</p>
<p>hey, if you really want to go to NYU, have you tried calling or contacting them or basically harassing the crap out of their admissions offices? be like, “there’s been a terrible mistake…did I say I like programming? I meant, psychology!!!” that is, if you truly believe you could’ve gotten in if you chose a major other than CS. I can kind of picture this scenario going down too. NYU Admissions would put priority over the major you want, and they’d be like, “ah compsci - we don’t have that here, BUT POLY DOES.” like, why keep you in their applicant pool if their curriculum is of less interest to you than Poly’s is? it doesn’t matter what you say in an essay. it’s just like, if you’re applying to an engineering school, and you want to major in fashion, we are going to refer you to someone else!</p>
<p>I don’t know; what have you guys tried so far??</p>
<p>Then just reject the offer if it happens???</p>
<p>I didn’t read every post before this, so forgive me if this has been ruled out already: Is it possible that NYU has referred some CS RD applicants to Poly, which then reviews the applicants. They decided yes or no, and notify the student. At the same time the applicant is still being considered for RD at NYU. Basically what I’m saying is could it be a referral in addition to review for regular NYU (as another option because your a good fit)?</p>
<p>Jjohn you are correct. When NYU sees a comp. sci applicant they refer it to NYU Poly so you become eligible for admission to both schools. If you get an admission packet or e-mail from Poly it DOES NOT mean you have been rejected from NYU. It’s possible to get admission to both schools, and it’s possible to get admission to just one of two.</p>
<p>However, I applied ED2 to NYU for computer science. I got rejected from CAS (felt I was WELL qualified) but accepted to Poly. I have yet to hear of somebody who applied ED to CAS for comp sci to actually receive admission to CAS.</p>
<p>I don’t know if they are saying “Youre not good enough for CAS so go to Poly” or if they’re trying to saturate Poly’s student body with “more competitive” students in preparation to absorb it as an official school. I would assume the latter considering the pretty scholarship Poly offered me.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Are you referring to the Promise scholarship? Isn’t that offered to pretty much everyone?</p>
<p>Jjohn you are incorrect. It says: “The admissions committee recently completed the review of your application. Though we are unable to offer you admission to the College of Arts and Science…” I don’t know how much more clear the email they sent me needed to be. Its says it was already looked at for Arts and Sci and it says NO to Arts and Sci but YES to Poly.</p>
