<p>I haven't heard yes or no from NYU yet and I was wondering if this email I got was a hint...</p>
<p>Dear Caitlyn,</p>
<p>I serve as the Director of Undergraduate Studies for my academic department here at NYU's College of Arts and Science, and I understand from the Admissions Office that you may be considering pursuing a major in my field or a related area. I invite you to be in touch with me, as you consider your options over the next few weeks, if you have questions about your academic plans. </p>
<p>NYU is remarkable for its combination of academic rigor and the quality of student life. Undergraduate research and faculty mentoring are two defining characteristics of the college experience here. I hope that you will also come to appreciate both our academic strengths and the strong connection we have as faculty with our students. </p>
<p>You can find links to information about majors, minors, and honors programs in the College at cas.nyu.edu/page/ug.MajorsMinors. More than this, I hope that you won't hesitate to write back to me with any specific questions you may have--I'll be glad to answer you by e-mail or set up a time for us to speak by telephone. Just let me have your contact information and, if you want me to call you, tell me the best time. </p>
<p>Should you have questions about Admissions, you can visit their website at admissions.nyu.edu, or call them at 212-998-4500 and ask to speak to a member of the CAS team. You can reach the Financial Aid Office at 212-998-4444 or via the Admissions website. </p>
<p>Thank you for your interest in NYU. Again, if you have questions or concerns about our academic programs, I would be very glad to hear from you.</p>
<p>ya i just got that same one today. I've also gotten CAS reception letter and another letter in the mail asking me if I was a National Merit Finalist, for scholarship purposes.</p>
<p>ya it means you're in. they send the departments the list of acceptances before they mail it out sometimes (seems to happen in science majors mostly)</p>
<p>um I got one of those letters from Colgate's econ dept chair and I didn't even apply there. They don't really mean much. But that always depends on the school.</p>
<p>Hmm I dunno, I got one from the 'Director of Expository Writing Program' but I applied undeclared. But it didn't say anything about being accepted...and has anyone not recieved one? I'm convincing myself that I'll only hear on April 1st =P Probably healthiest thing to do =P</p>
<p>I got the same thing from except it was from the Honors department or something (email is a home and I forget the specifics). So what is the consensus.... good sign or means nothing?</p>
<p>Yes, my son rec'ed the email. I think you have been accepted. You could email the department chair and say you hope this means you were accepted and see what response you receive. But I think NYU is sending them only to accepted students. Just my thoughts.</p>
<p>Last year, I got an email very similar to that the day before I got the University Day Reception invitation. And I'm currently at NYU. so yea, I would say that is a very good sign.</p>
<p>Well I emailed the person asking (He/she did say ask if I have any questions abut NYU =P) So I'll update this thread as soon as I get an answer.</p>
