NYU Abu Dhabi

<p>@murtaza101
what did you do the whole year?
and why didnt you go to any university there just in order to have some experience of university life?</p>

<p>well
PPLZ
i’v got another piece of news.</p>

<p>the representative of NYUAD AISA just posted that
</p>

<p>The deadline for ED2 & RD would be 
</p>

<p>Jan.1st.</p>

<p>so so so so so so so
</p>

<p>That’s 
dont know what to say
</p>

<p>@Reconquista: may I know
where u r from?</p>

<p>@Reconquista ====== It was on the official website, wasn’t?
@silkysilky23 ======= China</p>

<p>@NewYorkUAD — I’ve been repeating some of my tests like SATs and gave some more tests, and did some more extracurriculars. Basically, I’ve been improving my application.
@Reconquista — the deadlines were posted before, so it’s quite obvious. :P</p>

<p>@NewYorkUAD — I already couldn’t apply abroad before, and about local colleges, they don’t offer much scholarships/aid and my parents couldn’t afford the prices here, so I had to take a gap year.</p>

<p>if I dont manage to get to NUYAD this year, may I study in local university then apply the next year again? (not transfer, like a freshman)
and will it somehow affect my application? to the better or worse?</p>

<p>Should I mension about my local mini business in my application?</p>

<p>@ newyork uad</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.kik.kz%5B/url%5D”>www.kik.kz</a> <---------wut i wuld jus like 2 say
dat makes me lmao. XD
nd
i wanna say dat
as a matter of fact
 i hella hate ipod! (jus kiddin)</p>

<p>ahahahahahahahaha.</p>

<p>btw,dude ,where ya from then?</p>

<p>@NewYorkUAD – If you study in local university, you can still apply to NYUAD next year, but only as freshman. And about your business, yh definitely you can mention, it will boost your app.
P.S – I second Reconquista’s request, where ya from?</p>

<p>Hey guys, does anyone know if the degrees that NYUAD offers will be recognized around the world? Because some places won’t recognize degrees if they have been granted in the middle east
 i just thought of it and I’d be so dissapointed if that were the case</p>

<p>I have read contrasting evidence to this, but apparently the degrees are NYU degrees (i.e. not NYUAD) degrees. Though, to be fair, when you submit it in your CV you will have to mention you were in the NYUAD campus. But the key point is, the actual DEGREE is accredited by the US, so you should have no worries there</p>

<p>About the degrees, although the final degrees we get would be accredited as from “NYU” but our respective majors won’t have the same standard of accreditation, for example, if you study in say Engineering in NYU-Poly, the degree you get there is both NYU and ABET accredited, however studying Engineering in NYUAD won’t have an ABET accreditation and it’ll only have the NYU accreditation tag so on par, it won’t be recognized with the same standard.</p>

<p>That also goes for Economics as well for example, say majoring in Economics from NYUAD would recognize your degree as from NYU, but it’ll not have the same standard mark that you would’ve got if you had studied Economics from the NYU Stern School of Business (which is highly renown for Economics)</p>

<p>I hope what I’m saying is understandable.</p>

<p>Really, are you sure? I would have thought that the academic standards for admission to NYUAD would be much higher than NYU NY and so it wouldn’t be worth any less
 and I would also have thought that you would spend a semester or two in New York (for example) if you were studying Economics and that the idea of a Global Network University means that all the branches of NYU, be it wherever, contribute the same towards your NYU degree.</p>

<p>@Kiwikid — I know that academic standard and admission to NYUAD is very high and hard, and even if we spend a semester or two in NYUNY, the final degree that we’d get would have NYUAD per name but the standards of a particular major from a certain NYUNY program won’t be carried onto our degree.</p>

<p>AHHHHH! Still no invitation!</p>

<p>Maybe
the admission officer jus recognized that
I might not be able to adapt myself to the scorching weather in UAE
LOL.</p>

<p>The weather in UAE is pretty normal for me, it does get hot at certain times, especially during summer, but apart from that for most of the year, the weather is pretty much okay :)</p>

<p>ppl do you know other universities offering full ride?</p>

<p>@NewYorkUAD — I heard this but apparently, all people in NYUAD haven’t got a full ride, I asked the admissions officer during an info session, she said that around some 25%-30% of people have got a full ride, while 5% of people are affording NYUAD themselves (they’re probably the Emiratis), the rest of people enrolled had to give some family contribution with some part being covered by the scholarship, that’s what she said.</p>

<p>hey guys,
have any of you, who are Candidate Weekend II participants, already been contacted by the travel agency?</p>
