<p>For the sake of future applicants, lets see if the financial aid change theory holds any weight.</p>
<p>In this thread, we'll promise to come back after we receive decisions to see if the financial aid status changing to "2014 award access not available" or any other message has any indication of acceptance.</p>
<p>Here's the format from the previous thread (thanks to colcon0521 and diak18)</p>
<p>"The format should be organized and thorough for RD and next year's analysis.</p>
<ol>
<li>Decision</li>
<li>School applied to</li>
<li>SPECIFIC award change message</li>
<li>Approximate date of status change</li>
<li>Basic chance stats - Scores, GPA, ECs (to help confirm/deny the merit scholarship hypothesis and to do a basic honesty check)"</li>
</ol>
<p>I'll start:</p>
<ol>
<li>TBA</li>
<li>CAS</li>
<li>Aid Year: 2014 - award access not available</li>
<li>~March 7th</li>
<li>SAT: 2300+, GPA: 4.0 (British system, all A* and A), ECs: A few awards, high leadership position, band etc.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>TBA</li>
<li>CAS
3.There is no financial aid information found.
4.It’s been like this since I applied</li>
<li>ACT 30, SAT II Bio M 660, Math II 720; 90.38 first three years, and 92 1st semester senior year. A bit above average with ECs and I think I have great essays and recommendations.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>TBA</li>
<li>CAS</li>
<li>“2014 - Award Access Not Available”</li>
<li>About 2-3 weeks ago today</li>
<li>SAT: 1930 ACT: 28 GPA: 3.6 W, probably around 3.3 UW. If there’s any chance that I’m getting in it’d be in the fact that I have many EC’s with leadership, have overcome hardship being a URM with a single mom <10,000k, and that I’m being recruited by the NYU XC/Track team.</li>
</ol>
<p>I hate to be selfish to any of those whose status has not changed yet, but I really hope this yields a positive result. Best of luck to everybody and may our anxieties be put to a rest soon!</p>
<ol>
<li>TBA</li>
<li>CAS</li>
<li>Aid Year: 2014 - award access not available</li>
<li>~ Early March </li>
<li>SAT 1990 GPA: 4.0 (French system, taking the French baccalaureate) Several EC’s with leadership (varsity ski and kung fu team captain, selected for the junior olympics, free lance journalist, soloist in a rock band…), great essays and recommendations I think…
btw, didn’t apply for FA and I’m International.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>TBA</li>
<li>Stern</li>
<li>Award access not available</li>
<li>March 7th</li>
<li>29 ACT, 94/100 GPA, lots of EC’s, more volunteering though, great recommendations and unique essays.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>TBA</li>
<li>Liberal Studies Program</li>
<li>2014 Award Access not Available</li>
<li>Late February to Early March (2/25-3/04)</li>
<li>31 ACT, 4.1 GPA, a few awards, a bunch of art related extracurriculars (studio drawing, photography, music lessons), working part time, volunteer, etc. Great essay and recommendations from 2 teachers.</li>
</ol>
<p>1.TBA
2. Tisch-Drama
3. 2014 award access not available
4. late february-early march
5. 2050 SAT, 3.9 unweighted, 5.9 weighted (florida schools weight weird), 300 hours community service, assistant state representative for Florida State Thespians, ok essays, great recommendations, did the Tisch summer program, pretty good audition (fingers crossed), been in over 25 shows, lots of clubs etc.</p>
<ol>
<li>TBA</li>
<li>CAS</li>
<li>There is no financial aid information found.</li>
<li>It has never changed</li>
<li>1890 SAT, 3.677 GPA unweighted, Band leadership (section leader junior year, drum major senior year), a few musician awards (scored superior and excellent on percussion solos), GSA president at school, part of Science Club and Honor’s club, Collegeboard National Hispanic Scholar (for PSAT), ~40 community service hours, been in several AP/IB classes since freshman year, excellent essays (not to be arrogant but I worked really hard on them), great recommendations from two teachers, low income family (single mother, deadbeat father), and I’m also a Gates Millenium Finalist.</li>
</ol>
<p>If possible, could anyone estimate my chances of getting into NYU? I got rejected by UChicago and I guess that was fair. They were really tough this year. If I get Gates and admittance into NYU, that would be amazing. I’m so paranoid. However, I do have a bunch of scholarship money from the University of Arizona (where I’m from) but I want to leave home really badly!</p>
<p>@dumbashellteen your GPA is on par, as long you have taken challenging classes in school. Your SAT’s are a bit low, but with you being Hispanic, that should cancel out your sub-par SAT scores. I’d say you should get into CAS; it’s a match. I’ll be a bit shocked if you didn’t.</p>
<p>@J03421: thank you for your honest analysis on my stats… It helps a lot. I’m truly hoping for NYU… I truly have the drive to be a successful person in my life considering no one else in my family has ever attended anything higher than high school. I guess only time will tell!</p>

<p>Question, my daughter’s FA message also changed. It reads as follows :</p>
<p>Select Aid Year to View
Click the aid year you wish to view
2014 New York University Award access not available</p>
<p>It won’t allow me to click on anything though. Is this the message that appears to indicate acceptance, or is this not the message that hopefully means she’s in?</p>
