NYU Abu Dhabi Class of 2020 Applicants

My understanding is ED! candidates had one CW. ED2s the next. The remaining two candidates weekends are seemingly for RD applicants. Not sure but that is what it appears to be based on everything we’ve come across. ED1 have received admissions decisions already.

Does anyone know how many applicants are invited to candidate weekend and how many they ultimately grant admission too? Also attending on 2/18-21 btw.

has anyone been invited to the march cw??

actually i am going to the march CW… but its because i was deferred from the feb 18-21 CW… I dont think the invites for the march one are out yet

How do you get deferred from the February weekend?

Has anyone received their flight info yet?

Those who have been invited to a CW, how were told that you had been invited? Email? NYU portal?

@mraymer We got an email.

Has anyone received the candidate invitation for the march weekend?

@mightychondria are the invites sent all together or in waves?

I got an invite for March this morning.

Hi, a big congratulations!!!..I recently received an invitation to the March CW and would like to find out what kind of evaluations/testings go on there. Are there any important assignments candidates are given there,which might contribute to the admissions decision?

Have they stopped sending out rd invitations?

I applied for ED II. I haven’t got an invitation to any of the CWs. Also, I’m super nervous… I’m getting my answer today! I guess I won’t be accepted.

@aduzuz they are sent in waves

@Headway196 We were given 2 short interviews, a writing assignment submitted before CW, and a brief writing assignment completed during CW. Also, there were admissions officers, faculty, and currents students observing us the whole time during CW. All these things factor into the admissions decision. But don’t worry too much and have fun! Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any more questions

@mightychondria Heyyyy!!! I didn’t get my CW invite!! Am I possibly not getting into NYUAD?

@depressedsoul Going to CW is a requirement for admission. So while nothing’s official until you get the decision, I would say your chance of getting in is slim to none, unless you get deferred to RD or something

I don’t relly grab this candidate weekend ish. Do you have to apply for the candidate weekend or you are just picked by the school?

you get invited if they consider you highly admissible. if you don’t go on a weekend you won’t get admitted.
