<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I recently applied ED to CAS at NYU. My question is not 'will I get in' but, actually, how will I find out? Do they email you/ post it online/ send you a paper decision?</p>
<p>If any of you ED accepted's remember around when you found out as well, that would also be amazing...</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
<p>I believe NYU sends out all of their decisions through the mail. It doesn't matter if you applied ED, RD or Transfer.</p>
<p>Since you applied ED you should fin out in mid-December.

<p>A bit of a paranoid question, but I'm curious:</p>
<p>Does anybody who applied ED and got accepted remember if they received a small letter saying they were in, or a bigger package? And likewise, if anybody was rejected, what did you get? I just want to know if one can tell from the package/letter alone if they got in or not.</p>
<p>My friends who applied RD out of high school got a bigger envelope if they were accepted, and the smaller one if they were rejected. This is usually how it is no matter what the college, but it's especially agonizing w/ NYU since they don't tell you through the internet first, but only through snailmail.</p>
<p>Since you are applying ED, a small envelope may also mean that you've been deferred to the regular decision applicant pool. This is just my own speculation regarding NYU, but that's what happened to me when I applied to UMich early on (rolling admissions).</p>
<p>NYU does not defer early decision applicants to regular decision.</p>
<p>If you are accepted, they send you a postcard....</p>
<p>(and big envelope comes about three weeks later...)</p>
<p>I don't know anyone who received a 'postcard'. The acceptance 'package' is what comes first. E.D. mailings usually start arriving a couple of days before the 15th. They do not notify anyone by email since the fiasco a few years ago (accepted students received emails inviting them to an accepted students online chat, before ANYone had received notification via snail mail). The package for accepted students is a large envelope. Rejections are a regular letter size envelope. As someone else said, NYU does not defer.</p>
