<p>kezbies, I can DEFINITELY understand your position. However I did not apply ED because I was very unsure about my family's financial abilities... turns out that our combined assets were alot more than we estimated (~650k); very dim-witted of us, I know, but I live in a subpar neighborhood and even though I'm not <em>destitute</em> I never grew up with the impression we could afford NYU.</p>

<p>But to be honest NYU is my #1 choice, realistically. I applied to Tufts, but I feel that's out of my range... now my 1st quarter grades were bad (1 C...) and I feel like I just shot my chances way down. </p>

<p>One of my friends applied ED into CAS and got in, he had a lower GPA than I did at the beginning of the school year (.2 difference) and (pretty sure) lower SAT's; he was presidents of about 3 or so clubs, though.</p>

<p>Why cry? Community college FTW :D</p>

<p>NYU does not want and does not need your midterm grades. If you sent them in you have noone but yourself to blame</p>

<p>Groovy, the first quarter ended before the holiday season. My school handles RD transcript releases at that time, so all schools people apply to under RD receive the first quarter grades. Now I don't think I said that I sent my midyear grades so don't jump to conclusions. :)</p>

<p>Heh, I applied to Boston University too. xD But really, I wouldn't be upset at all if I didn't get into NYU providing I got into USC. If I didn't get into either, I'd frown. xD I've been trying to keep the least optimistic attitude about everything.</p>

<p>haha I applied to BU too..
if I don't get in to NYU (and assuming I don't get into Columbia, Tufts, Vassar, or Wesleyan) I'll probably go to University of Pittsburgh for a year to save $$ and apply again as a transfer</p>

<p>Hey, I applied to Columbia too! I think the only way I'd truly be devasted is if I don't get in anywhere. That would...suck. Really suck.</p>

<p>If I do not get into at least one out of UCSB, UCI, UCLA, BU, Tufts, USC and got rejected from NYU then I would be so sad.</p>

<p>If I don't get into NYU, my life will go on---I didn't pick safeties for nothing!</p>
