<p>And I'm proof that GPA isn't everything?</p>
<p>Dice, thaw, can we just take a moment and reflect on how we got into one of the best schools in the country based on our SPARKLING PERSONALITIES?</p>
<p>haha ya damn straight eatshoots</p>
<p>either that or it is the fact that we would be one of the best club starters/talent show singers and NYU recognizes that :P.</p>
<p>I'm glowing. Literally. </p>
<p>Afk, calling a doctor.</p>
<p>Lol, I took a nap at 3:30 EST today, I woke up at 5:15, stayed in bed till 5:30, I was wondering if I should try the mail today... so after 15 minutes of deliberating, I rolled out of bed, checked this thread, went downstairs, checked the mailbox outside, lo and behold an NYU invitation. <3</p>
<p>Whoo! Got one today, CAS! : D</p>
<p>congratulations to you all!
lol I think my mailman is growing quite sick of me; I'm still anxiously waiting but trying not to get my hopes up too much</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone, and for those of you who haven't gotten a likely letter yet, don't stress! Just hang in there-- I'm sending you all positive energy, prayers, and a good luck wish! (since it is St. Patrick's Day)</p>
<p>I applied to CAS, and got one of the postcards today.</p>

<p>NYU is remarkable for its combination of academic rigor and the quality of student life. Undergraduate research and faculty mentoring are two defining characteristics of the college experience here. I hope that you will also come to appreciate both our academic strengths and the strong connection we have as faculty with our students. </p>
<p>You can find links to information about majors, minors, and honors programs in the College at NYU</a> > A & S > Majors and Minors. More than this, I hope that you won’t hesitate to write back to me with any specific questions you may have--I’ll be glad to answer you by e-mail or set up a time for us to speak by telephone. Just let me have your contact information and, if you want me to call you, tell me the best time. </p>

<p>Stats: White male, top grades, 2340 SAT I+II, TASP</p>
<p>Does this mean I'm in? I haven't gotten no card oh nufing.</p>
<p>actually i'm pretty positive that most professors vastly enjoy talking to students that will never set foot on their respective campuses.</p>
<p>Burrrrrned. Well why haven't I got any notification then?</p>
<p>don't worry, i'm sure yours is coming. it's quite common for them to come after you get your official notification in the mail as well.</p>
<p>this should mean you're in.</p>
<p>just looked at my common app supplement and notice two things:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I submitted it late (jan 16th)</p></li>
<li><p>I never finished one of the personal statements. The last sentence is to the first one (about traits) is: "Learning to deal with unforeseen costs and seasonal demand has "</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I LOL'd.</p>
<p>Do you think they'll offer us scholarships if we got this card? There's no way I'm going without a scholarship...Costs per year is like 40 K!</p>
