<p>I worked at the University's Undergraduate Admissions office as an Assistant Director of Admissions of Stern School of Business from 1997 to 2002. I had a fantastic experience at NYU, and I would be glad to answer questions regarding the admissions process and etc. </p>
<p>Also, my son is currently attending NYU-Stern School of Business and he will graduate in the year of 2006; so I do also have some information regarding the University's social life and so on.</p>
<p>Although I cannot tell you everything about the admissions process and I certainly cannot give you definite answers to the questions such as "what are my chances?", I believe that I can be a great help for the students who are interested in applying to NYU.</p>
<p>New York University is one of the greatest private institutions in the nation if not the world, and both of its popularity and its quality are sky rocketing. </p>
<p>I will end this here, and I would like to see lots of questions from you guys. </p>
<p>Thank you so much for your interests in the University!</p>
<p>As the Associate Provost for Admissions and Financial Aid at NYU, I appreciate your enthusiasm for the undergraduate program of our Stern School of Business. However, I am distressed that you are representing yourself as having worked in undergraduate admissions here as we have no knowledge of your employment. Additionally, the statistics which you have distributed in response to student questions are inaccurate and your information on how we evaluate applications is both inaccurate and misleading.</p>
<p>I encourage all students who have asked questions of you and received answers to disregard those answers and to post questions they may have to our bulletin board for prospective Stern students (found on our web site at <a href="http://www.admissions.nyu.edu%5B/url%5D">www.admissions.nyu.edu</a>). Please note that I, personally, do not have the time to respond to individual student inquiries and the bulletin board is our best means of communicating with students on-line. (One of my staff members will respond to students posting to our bulletin board.)</p>
<p>Barbara Hall
Associate Provost for Admissions and Financial Aid
New York University</p>
<p>Please join me in welcoming our first "College Rep" member, <a href="mailto:Admissions@NYU">Admissions@NYU</a>. This designation means that at College Confidential we are reasonably satisfied that the member is actually a representative of that school. (In case you are worried - College Rep members aren't moderators, and hence can't edit your posts or see any non-public information in your profile.)</p>
<p>We appreciate Ms. Hall's involvement here to help our members in this sometimes difficult and confusing college admissions process!</p>
<p>This is as good a time as any to highlight a few important points about public forums for our student and parent members:</p>
<p>1) Information you post isn't confidential. Many admissions office people may lurk here, or even post incognito. Our pages are indexed by Google and other search engines, too, so please don't post revealing or personally identifying information.</p>
<p>2) People aren't always who they seem to be. While we investigate claims of formal college affiliation when they come to our attention ("Betty" failed to provide evidence of any such affiliation, by the way), we can't check every member who claims to be a UCLA student or a Columbia parent. 99.9% of our members are honest and here to both learn and help others, but employ healthy skepticism when evaluating what you read here.</p>
<p>3) Don't rely on forum posts for critical information. If you need to know the deadline for application materials or what format is acceptable for an art portfolio, please go directly to the appropriate source, i.e., the university's admissions office, the official university website, etc. Should you make a serious error because you relied on forum posts, it is doubtful that "but I read it on a forum!" will be an acceptable excuse!</p>
<p>That's it for the lecture - welcome, Admissions@NYU!</p>
<p>Welcome Ms. Hall! Thank you very much for clarifying the situation surrounding "Betty," I myself and many others had doubts about what she was saying and I'm glad to learn that we were correct. I appreciate your help!</p>
<p>Thank you both very much for that clarification. I had a feeling this "Betty" was a fake, as did a few other posters on here, and hopefully the damage done was minimal.</p>
<p>Please help me!!!
NYU said that we have to complete all our course work blah blah blah...
or they deny you of admission or put you on probation...how bad do you have to mess up in order to be put on probation, or to be denied?
I mean, I got 3 A.Ps and I am gonna get like a 65 in one of them, will they deny me my acceptance? will a 2 point negative difference in my final avg effect anything? please help!!!</p>
<p>The reason I was rude was because of his use of *<strong><em>, does he know me to intend to curse at me? NO, I don't know him either. I have an issue and I wanted answers, and I posted my Q where I thought I would recieve answers, which I did. I don't need Matt's mouth to tell me *</em></strong>, THAT'S unappropriate.</p>
<p>breathfire - I'll answer your question. You seem to be very concerned about your grades. There is no way any person can determine if they will rescind your admission. Even if someone could tell you the answer, would it effect your academic performance? YOU know you should be doing better. Just try to do your best.</p>
<p>people who have gotten B's have been rescinded from what ive been hearing, getting a 65 average may very well get you rescinded or academic probation, you should def call undergrad admission</p>
<p>Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!
But what if it's like one or two bad grades and the rest are fine..and then next term I'll get really good grades, which will put me back on the same avg as when I got in...will that be a problem?</p>
<p>they only ask for final transcript, does your school go by semester, if not it'll be ok if you get the average up, if it goes by semester you may be in trouble.</p>
<p>Also depends on what you mean by bad, two C's or D at the very least may put you on academic probation, how much of a gpa drop are we looking at? Regardless you should call them and tell them why you have the drop so they can put it on file so you wont get rescinded</p>
<p>Yeah--fall and spring semester!
I did call NYU and asked what will happen if I get one bad grade--
admissions counselor said that one bad grade will not do anything really, especially if I do a better
job in the spring. She said just to make sure that I pass the class. I thought this was extremely nice of NYU, and
also if I know for sure that my avg will drop b/c of the classes, to let the admin.office know and I should be fine.
Anyways, NYU counselor said that a drastic drop is needed in order to cancel the acceptance.I will have like a 1 point drop. I was trying to get info
out of her regarding probation, but basically told me that I will be fine as long as I do my best, and if I don't improve them, and if that doesn't work--explain the situation to them.</p>
<p>Even though NYU claims that majors don't matter do they really. Im a white Jew who applied for East asian studies, will that make me stand out more? Yes my stats do say that I really want to study it.</p>
