<p>i got rejected under early decision but NYU is definitely where i want to go and i want to live in new york for sure. i talked to someone at nyu who will allow ONLY me to write a letter of appeal so any advice? dont write something stupid like "figure it out if u want to go there." if your thinking about writing something stupid, then dont write it at all.</p>
<p>one thing i want to say to you guys is that my letter of recs were horrible becuz the teachers were lazy and not caring. i got waaay better ones now so i need help putting that into good words. but not making it sound like i looked at them since your not supposed to, except i got to see mine for scholarships.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it’s a joke. NYU allowing a “letter of appeal” would be like discrediting everyone else’s acceptance. </p>
<p>Honestly, rejection happens. I don’t mean to be so blunt, but the best thing you can do is move on. Happiness, like college, is what you make it. If you keep beating this NYU thing, then you’ll never move on and you’ll talk yourself into a hole. Find somewhere else to be happy, and think positively.</p>
<p>Move on and stop blaming it on your recs.
If you’re under the delusion that your recommendations are the reason you were denied from NYU, there’s nothing any of us can do for you. They contributed - possibly - but one, maybe that’s telling you something… and two, they’re not everything. Your personal essay, test scores, and gpa are much more important.</p>
<p>Accept your rejection and move on.</p>
<p>Besides, weren’t you dead set on another school before becoming NYU obsessed? I’m sure you’ll find another school you like just as much.</p>
<p>I have wanted to go to NYU since I was eleven and went to NYC with my grandpa, and I didn’t get in. It sucked, but it wasn’t meant to be. If you really want to be in New York City, there are schools in the city and near the city that are just as great as NYU. Do some research,be proactive, and find some different schools to go to. Don’t let NYU define you, define yourself.</p>
<p>If you really want to go to NYU, then find a way to make it happen whether it be transferring, grad, school or whatever. Jut know that right now you need to accept that you were not accepted ED and that’s okay. Don’t bug them, or hound them, or make yourself look like an idiot. Take the disappointment gracefully and move on or improve yourself so you can transfer or get in next year.</p>
<p>Baby girl, Sorry about your disappointment. I can tell by all your posts that NYU is very important to you. The above post is right, its time to move on. Did you look into Fordham UNiv. It has a campus in the bronx and one right in lincoln center. There are some options out there other than NYU. good luvk and move on.</p>

<p>By writing a letter of appeal, you’re telling NYU that they’re wrong in rejecting you because there’s something special about you they missed the first time around. Something that makes you stand out. Something that makes YOU, as an individual, so unique that they should reconsider their decision. What is that something? </p>
<p>that’s what you have to write in your letter of appeal - not your SAT or GPA or Ec’s which they’ve already rejected. Something special they missed the first time around. To be frank, almost every applicant has a 3.6UW+, a 2000+, everyone takes AP’s and volunteers and all that jazz - so in your letter, be concise and clear about why they should reconsider you. In order for them to change their minds, they have to see something that wasn’t there before.</p>
