Just received a letter for Information session?

<p>I just got this in the mail:</p>

<p>Dear Applicant,</p>

<p>Thank you for for applying to New York University. Your application for admission has been referred to the New York University's Opportunity Programs. In order to evaluate your application, you are required to attend an information session followed by an interview. The information session and interview will last possibly up to 3 hours. <--also bold in the letter</p>

<p>During the information session you will learn about our programs, explore our support services for students and meet some of our staff. you will also be informed about financial eligibility and the financial assistance available to you....etc, etc, etc......</p>

<p>The date, time and place of of the appointment for your information session and personal interview are listed below. Please do not reschedule this appointment unless absolutely necessary. .......</p>

<p>What does this mean? Is this like an invite for am I referred to the GSP program? What should I wear for the interview? Does anyone have any idea what this means? Did my chances just increase? ....Sooo many questions in my head now. !!!</p>

<p>93 views and no reply...</p>

<p>maybe they're trying to decide between you and another applicant?
that's random, i've never heard of anything like that before. i don't think it's a bad thing though-NYU doesn't give interview to many people, and you might be being considered for a special program or something</p>

<p>Which school did you apply to?</p>

<p>oh wow... 3 hrs?!?!</p>

<p>It's a program called C-STEP/HEOP. I got the same letter back in November, went for the interview.. and I was accepted to the program. It's a program for New York State residents that includes a 7-week summer introductory courses that you must fulfill in order to attend NYU. Do you live in the city? I live in Westchester, so i'm gonna commute everyday.. but they give you the option of living on campus for the summer. </p>

<p>For the interview I was pretty casual.. wore khakis and a sweater. Some people dressed up more/less than i did. I had a really awesome guy who interviewed me.. it was extremely relaxed. The guy also knew a lot about me so it was more like a conversation than anything. It's definitely a good idea to go to the info session if you're serious about going to NYU.. the session really helped explain everything.</p>

<p>I applied to CAS. Does that mean my chances increased? I'm terrible at interviews....so nervous, anyone else going?</p>

<p>bump....</p>

<p>anyone have anyone info at all?</p>
