Not Getting An Invitation Does Not Mean Rejection

<p>IF YOU DIDN'T GET AN INVITATION, YOU MIGHT STILL GET ACCEPTED [for undergraduate]. </p>

<p>THERE. End of discussion. Check NYU's website if you don't believe me.</p>

<p>I'm curious to know the percentage of admits that get one and ones that don't</p>

<p>but they posted that around march 13th, and evidently, invitations haven't been all sent out by then.. but what about now? it's march 27th..so does not getting an invitation NOW mean that i'm rejected?</p>

<p>Events, Invitations, and the Class of 2011 </p>

<p>While our Admissions Committee is working this month to finalize admissions decisions for our freshmen applicants we have also begun preparations for a number of exciting events that will be taking place both on and off the NYU campus in the month of April. These programs will provide our newly admitted students the opportunity to learn more about the unique educational opportunities and academic communities that exist at New York University. We are eager to meet our newly admitted students and hope that these events will aid them in determining if NYU is the right place for them to pursue their undergraduate experience. </p>

<p>Because our applicants come from across the entire country and world it is important for us to provide information about these programs in advance of formal offers of admission being mailed. This allows students and their families the opportunity to prepare for a trip to New York or to make plans to meet with our representatives when we visit their local community. However, our events do not all occur on the same day. Accordingly, invitations are not all mailed at the same time. </p>

<p>In addition, our Committee will not have completed its review of all applicants by the time that the first of our invitations are mailed. As such, not receiving an invitation to one of our programs is not necessarily an indication of the decision that you will receive when we formally notify applicants on April 1st.</p>

<p>Well, we shall see in a few days if the invites were only for admitted students</p>

<p>the process is just bizarre to me, and it is actually a turn-off for NYU for me, even if D does get it, she most liekly won't go</p>

<p>i am praying this is true</p>

<p>Think of an invitation as a "likely letter." NYU is no different than any other top school, and the process really isnt weird at all. NYU doesn't take into account people fretting like crazy on College Confidential.</p>

<p>thanks mattistotle.. although nyu seems like they send tons of likely letters..</p>

<p>I don't think that many Stern applicants got invites... just the Stern Scholars.</p>

<p>mm.. a couple of my friends got the university day invite for stern..</p>

<p>man, this question has really been eating away at me the past couple days. really hope that not getting one doesn't mean a rejection.</p>

<p>I know someone who received an acceptance yesterday and had not received any invitation to Saturday at the Square (Tisch's invited event). So I REALLY think it is not a sign you will be rejected just because you didn't get an invite to anything. Good luck!!! You should know soon! My daughter's acceptance letter arrived yesterday (although we already knew because she had recieved an invite)!</p>

<p>^^^
that gave me a little hope...</p>

<p>DID ANYONE ELSE NOT GET A DECISION YET?! practically everyone in my school has heard back from nyu and they've all been accepted, making me think that rejections are last and i will be receiving a very very tiny letter.</p>

<p>Same thing with me sarah!</p>

<p>^same here. i literally feel SICK with anxiety :(</p>

<p>oh man, i feel nervous too</p>

<p>thanks nydancemom, that greatly eases many of us who didn't get invitations and still hope to get in</p>

<p>Oh me too, I'm so nervous, I feel sick.</p>

<p>I think getting an invitation just means probable scholarship.</p>

<p>I got my official acceptance letter, with an extremely small [but hey, it's something] $7500 per year scholarship.</p>
