I got invited to the Candidate Weekend for NYU Abu Dhabi... 2018

Honestly, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I GOT THE INVITE!!!

I am predicted 36 IB points without core (3). My friend who was predicted 41 got rejected and didn’t even get the invite…

I am the only individual to have heard from NYU in my school, since its such a competitive uni (all campuses) and my school average is 36 IB points.

I am definetely going!!! However, I am wondering if this means that I have a higher chance of being accepted?
I read that you have around a 70% chance of getting in if you’re invited.

Tens of thousands of people apply to nyu and only 200 were invited for the candidate weekend (shocking!).
I’m so so so happy.

I must have written a killer personal essay i guess? xd lol

Congratulations! When did you get the invite and where are you from?

I am from the UAE. Got the invite feb 13.
