<p>what is this about? has anyone heard anything about it, like the admissions, or the campus and student size? this seems like a pretty good idea.</p>
<p>[Let</a> me google that for you](<a href=“http://■■■■■■■.com/lnyfdw]Let”>http://■■■■■■■.com/lnyfdw)</p>

<p>lol. A+.</p>
<p>I am applying to NYU Abu Dhabi. Supposedly they give you a lot of financial aid, although I am still skeptical as to how much they actually give versus how it is represented on the website.</p>
<p>I didn’t find anything on transferring to NYUAD.</p>
<p>Oh, how unlucky the class of '09 was. After our year NYU has easier admission policies (no SAT required) and NYUAD, with “generous financial aid” will be opened.</p>
<p>I guess by the time I have kids, admissions will be completely revolutionized.</p>
<p>@YA</p>
<p>you haven’t been here at NYU. there’s been a lot of mumbles and grumbles over NYU Abu Dhabi, about whether it’s the right time to open such a school.</p>
<p>opinions are divided. while NYU wants to be a global university, some people believe that with the financial climate as it is, NYU would be better off sticking close to home. we were hit by not only the downturn of the economy, but the Madoff scandal- some of our investors were swindled by Madoff. </p>
<p>NYU Abu Dhabi is costing us 250 million a year. </p>
<p>also, i feel that the jury is out on whether the “no SAT/three SAT IIs” thing really makes it easier to get in to NYU. i guess time will tell.</p>
<p>there were rumors of NYU opening up a campus in Washington D.C. i saw it reported in the WSN, but i don’t think any progress has been made on that.</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure i’m applying too. location’s a big tops. i mean, right smack in the middle of the globe 
so close to asia, europe, africa, and just a plane’s ride away from DC or NYC.</p>
<p>but yeah, it’s a definite stretch for me. my resume doesn’t come close of matching nuclearpakistan’s…</p>
<p>Jazzzz: hahahahhaha. Pakistan is THE most eager applicant I have ever met. 833 posts in 4 months. Wow. Maybe I’m being a little mean, cause paki was really rude on one post, but made itself look like an idiot. You might be surprised by your admissions decision, be optimistic!</p>
<p>I’ve already applied for early decision there! I think I’ll be the only Moroccan student who applied. It’s an amazing school, a component of an global network. The admission process at NYUAD is indeed need-blind, so if you’re admitted, just don’t worry about cash! LA CLASSE!!! But I’m sure it’ll be a very competitive school, I hope I’ll stack up with the other applicants.</p>
<p>anorexic-Yeah, I sincerely apologize, I could make up an excuse for calling you a culo, but honestly I will be straight up and say I was wrong. </p>
<p>Jazzzzz- yeah OMG I can’t believe it either that many posts? That is crazy, how did you find the statistical data! But anyways, I am very eager to get accepted, although I am still not going to be surprised if I don’t get. My grades are REALLY holding me back. Although I will graduate with 15 AP’s, there isn’t ever a reason to have as many C’s and B’s as i do on my application. I REALLY want to get into this school. It is all that i think about, and i knew if i got rejected, I would reject myself as a human being: so I decided to fall in love with Fordham too! Yayyyyy! ( But anyways, i really want to get accepted lol) </p>
<p>Good luck to you all!</p>
<p>If you guys want to add me on facebook, i would love to associate a name with a face! Just PM me!</p>
<p>There’s another very interesting info! The class of 2010 will be composed of 100 students, in other words, only 100 applicants will get in.</p>
<p>I sent in my app last week, I wonder how many other kids from the states are applying ea for NYUAD… Has anyone heard anything about those candidate weekends?</p>
<p>i am an american and i recently applied ED for NYUAD. I just found out last week that i am invited for candidate weekend. it was a complete shock and a dream come trye. i really hope the rest of you are as lucky. good luck</p>
<p>:( I was told that im being considered for the january weekend, but not the november one… no idea what this means. If you don’t mind me asking, what were ur sat/act/ap scores and class rank??</p>
<p>yea, same for me. to get considered for november, you have to have put nyu abu dhabi as your first choice instead of just checking the box on the common app showing “interest.” only students who applied by the non-binding nyu ad only app were considered for the november weekend. hope this helps :)</p>
<p>I am a Moroccan and I applied ED to NYUAD too, I was invited to the November candidate weekend too! Can’t believe it! See you there!!</p>
<p>ekforlife- got the same message. im afraid we might be screwed 
im not that surprised though as I was betting on there not being many applicants from the US, and there clearly are a bunch.</p>
<p>I applied NYUAD for early non-bonding. i am asian who is attending high school in U.S as a exchaning student. Did anyone get accepted in NYUAD already??? I know the result will come out by Dec. 15… But I’m sososos nervous that i can’t make it =( I just found out that NYUAD will only select 100 students…it means that only 15~20 ppl will be accepted for early… I heard around 250 ppl applied for early and some of the has mannn high GPA and SAT scores…=(.AH… I didnt invited for november candidate weekeend but being considered for the january weekend even though I directly applied to ED for NYUAD. Did anyone visited NYUAD on nov.?How was it?</p>
<p>I seriously can not believe any american would apply for this especially a woman unless they were Islamic. Money or not you will need to conform to the local customs/norm. READ there web site about respecting local customs of dress.
My brother, a nurse working in Saudi was thrown in jail when he went to vist another nurse’s apartment (his fiance) to watch a movie and they lived in the Am compound. A friend today said she was working in saudi and was partying and some religious police came, junmped her and beat her up. good luck</p>
