General Comments: Wow, this came as a COMPLETE SHOCK. I got the “make travel plans” email. It doesn’t say whether I’m LSP’d or anything, which I expect to be due to my low GPA. Anyway, I’m really glad this came when it did because I’m currently DYING waiting to hear back from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts. I don’t know if I’ll be able to go to NYU because their financial aid kind of sucks and, as you can tell, I really need a lot of it.</p>

Strengths: Essays and recs

General Comments: I was expecting to be rejected so I didn’t really consider attending before this, but now I am seriously loving the idea of attending. I’m waiting to hear from a couple more schools, but I am also going to need financial aid.</p>

• School Type: Public, sucks.
• Ethnicity: Caucasian
• Gender: Female
• Income Bracket: 25,000<
• Hooks (URM, first generation college, research, etc.):
Reflection
• Strengths: class rigor, ACT, volunteer hours, Utah
• Weaknesses: SAT, Work experience
• Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Again the Utah thing, but I think my volunteer work with wildlife defiantly made me unique for a school in NYC.
General Comments: Financial Aid will be a huge factor. I love NYU, but I refuse to take more than 20,000 in loans for four years, I will still have to pay for Grad. School! Best of Luck to everyone still waiting on decisions!
