<p>ok so i dont know if im rejected or not</p>

<p>but i got no emails...no invites...my id doesnt work...basically i have NOTHING</p>

<p>i mean i dont understand how i could be rejected to even general studies when sooooo many less qualified people from my school got in</p>

<p>my stats are
sat
math-760
verbal-620
writing-750</p>

<p>gpa
w-4.26
uw-3.8</p>

<p>good ecs...good essays...nothing bad in my record...</p>

<p>im not freaking out or anything...ive already been accepted to my top choices such as cmu and mcgill as well as many other schools...but this is kinda disappointing...i mean...NOT EVEN GENERAL STUDIES...oh well had to let that out...</p>

<p>who says you're rejected? they might be planning something special for you right now</p>

3

<p>yeah im sure thats exactly what they are doing</p>

<p>like a big surprise party...</p>

<p>to inform me</p>

<p>of my</p>

<p>REJECTION</p>

<p>How can you assess whether or not someone is "less qualified" than you, in terms of admissions? You have to consider the variables of presentation (i.e. how you came across on your application), what school you applied to, your intended major, etc.</p>

<p>Firstly, the 620 on your verbal is a little low for NYU. Secondly, if your other stats are good enough you may be accepted anyway. Invites and all mean nothing. Why can't people just wait for their letters?</p>

<p>I'd disagree with that.</p>

7

<p>Why are you even bothering if you got into your top choice? haha just chill man</p>

<p>i asses that people are less qualified than me by the courses they take in hs and how they do in them...im taking 4 ap classes and one honors and getting almost straight As however this other girl whos not even top 20 percent in our class is only taking 3 classes total this year and no aps and she got into general studies</p>

<p>i understand my verbal score may have been low for college of arts and sciences...althought i think my math and writing made up for it...but i admit theres a chance its low...but still i expected to get into gs</p>

<p>and the password thing pretty much tells me im rejected...but i just want to get this all out lol...either way</p>

9

<p>why am i bothering with what? lol</p>

<p>nyu is the only school that is near where i live...id like to have it as an option..you know? even though im not in love with it</p>

10

<p>essays mean a lot. However, I bet you will get in.</p>

11

<p>is NYU ur top choice school?</p>

12

<p>Everyone takes a million AP classes and gets straight A's (hyperbolic? surely), but those obviously aren't the only factors that go into the admissions decision.</p>

<p>What I don't understand is this thread, especially since decisions haven't gone out yet. Shouldn't it give you a bit of hope that the "less qualified" people got into GSP? Perhaps that means you actually got into CAS.</p>

13

<p>my essays were pretty good...i thought? lol</p>

<p>thanks...even though i doubt it!</p>

14

<p>Don't worry, you'll probably get in regular decision. Invites are just for the upper tier applicants, not for everyone who got in.</p>

15

<p>what are you talking about i AM an upper tier applicant!!</p>

<p>haha jkjkjk</p>

16

<p>morgan i really dont know what to say, its possible that you go to a school where a lot of people apply to NYU so they had to limit how many they accepted from your school.</p>

17

<p>OP: ARE YOU FREAKING JOKING???</p>

<p>you are good enough for Stern</p>

<p>YOU WILL get into NYU for sure. you have a 2200 sometihng SAT and a 3.8 UW</p>

<p>you are too good for CAS if at all.</p>
