<p>The number of people seeing a change in their FA kind of makes me want to believe in the theory less. It doesn’t make sense for there to be a greater number of people seeing changes than people that see no change</p>
<p>Or maybe nyu just has a 100% acceptance rate ;).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Only if that were true… </p>
<p>New York City’s population would exponentially rise every year LOL</p>
<p>Man I wish I had the 187 IQ genius of Sheldon. Everybody would be seen in my eyes as Muggles. Better yet, I would have eidetic memory. I would breeze by college, medical school, and life. </p>
<p>Then again, life wouldn’t be as fun.</p>
<p>Sigh I’m babbling nonsense. Wish I got into NYU.</p>
<p>@ckc123456 thats what im thinking… ive seen many people have it changed today…now im worring that the change means the opposite loool</p>
<p>Would it be possible that students who applied earlier saw the changes earlier? I applied at 12/29 and am having no change in fa status…</p>
<p>@ehguscn probably no because I submitted my application on January 1 and I saw the change today .it’s so strange, yesterday was still " fa not available"</p>
<p>@collegeug argggghhhhhh</p>
<p>Thing is, the change definitely does not happen ubiquitously…question is why. Too bad , we won’t get an answer</p>
<p>@nyuclassof2017 People have been saying that Albert is not credible in what it shows… They don’t update properly, as many people have their application status incomplete when they really are. Thus, it’s possible that people don’t have their fa status changed when they’re supposed to. </p>
<p>I guess the best thing is to distract ourselves and try our best to forget about this confusing theory.</p>
<p>Okay, I think I’ll just forget about this theory. As more and more people receive messages, it seems less and less likely that it could mean admission, regardless of the previous “evidence”. And again, as ehguscn stated, Albert can be extremely unreliable.
<em>sigh</em> 3 more days…</p>
<p>But CC usually has very good students so maybe it really is a small percentage of students receiving a change. CC doesn’t reflect all students.</p>
<p>^Yeah true… I remember in the Upenn thread, 50% of the people who posted decisions got in, although that’s definitely not the acceptance rate.</p>
<p>^^ I suppose so. I did consider that aspect, but I don’t know. Everything is so varied.
Anyway, I’m not debunking the theory. It still is somewhat supported by the “evidence” we’ve all gathered. I just lost the hope I initially had in it. Either way, I don’t believe I have a very good chance at NYUAD… 
Thoughts anyone?</p>
<p>We can’t count anything on here as truly evidence because they havent been double checked. And again the issue of the sample pool of applicants here, very bright I’m sure but nowhere near a real representation of the actual pool. Not to mention the fact that people’s FAs changing today, strong candidates without FA changes and the fact that this would mean NYU has one of the world’s most glaring tells for admissions…makes for a very shaky theory. </p>
<p>It’s less than 3 days now, understandably everyone is getting antsy but desperation can really throw people off as they began misinterpreting things, getting their hopes up and then poof! We should be enjoying the 48 hours or so now, happy that we got as far as we did. Then on Friday we take the next steps.</p>
<p>Hopefully the FA changes due lead to acceptance into the University but has this ever happened in the past with other applicants?</p>
<p>Also what happens if you did not apply for finical aid? i apologize i am new to this, but am still very curious as to know if their are any instances in which students who did not apply for FA have received any changes or such.</p>
<p>^Yes, this happened in the EDI decision round, which is what we used to collect data, and hence formulate this ‘theory’.</p>
<p>Stupid Albert.</p>
<p>^amen to that</p>
