<p>@Dzhannet === how about you stats? you know, SAT, TOELF, GRE…</p>
<p>About the research paper…the website did not state any limit; whether on the NYUAD site or Commonapp…so if we went over the “limit” then it should be alright, yes??</p>
<p>@ NewYorkUAD, I’d rather not go there x)) i feel a bit self-conscious about that part of my application… highlighting it here would completely ruin my spirits, especially after seeing someone with SATs over 2300 or smth x)) i just found out you were from kz too!!! where from exactly? ED ?</p>
<p>@ EmkayXx, yeah, i’ve searched the NYUAD site 3 times and there’s not a word about that… though i’ll probably stick to the 500-600, i wonder why they didn’t set the word limit? frustrating.</p>
<p>Well for me, I don’t care about word limits, I’m just gonna try to fit it into 2 pages.
@NewYorkUAD — GRE is an exam that we need to apply for graduate study not undergraduate study. Its like an SAT but even more harder.
@Reconquista – I second your thought. There are hell lot of applications so I’m pretty sure that they’re not gonna look for every single word for the limit and score off. Usually, all colleges can accept a word limit extension of 50-70 words in their essays if applicable.</p>
<p>So, is there a chance of still getting accepted or not? This is frustrating. Do they send out a rejection letter/email at least?
BTW, Does anyone know whether this may affect my chances: my final results come out in January (4th), IF they are significantly higher than predicted results, would they reconsider?</p>
<p>oh. I meant GPA xDxDxD
I actually do not know other examinations more than toefl, ielts, and SAT.
but about GPA I’ve read here, and confused the name =)</p>
<p>@Dzhannet: sry for tht misconception!..anyways, so, I was facing a similar problem!..hence, I mailed the admissions officer of my area…and its she who told me about the word limit!..although, it isn’t mentioned anywhere on the website…
u must consult your regional officer…she/he might be able help you with tht!</p>
<p>@Emkay – well the chance of acceptance depends on your app, as to whether is it strong enough or not, and the CW also matters as well. And yeah, during decision dates, they do send out emails telling whether you’ve been accepted/rejected/waitlisted. About your scores in January, if you’re applying ED-I then I believe it’d be too late for consideration since decisions would be out by November. If you’re applying ED-II/RD though then if your January scores are higher, you should definitely submit them for consideration.</p>
<p>P.S – I just found out that there IS a word limit for the research essay BUT I’M NOT SURE whether if it does pertain only to the nomination students or to everyone who’s applying to NYUAD regardless, I saw that in the nomination form, the same writing assignment of the research essay does have written “In 500 words or fewer…”,
here’s the form <a href=“https://nyuad.nyu.edu/admissions/admissions.nominations.html[/url]”>https://nyuad.nyu.edu/admissions/admissions.nominations.html</a></p>
<p>yea…on the page concerning nominated students there IS a word limit and my regional counselor also told that the limit is 500 words. BUT, for individual applicants, there is NO limit ,at least not clearly stated so modus tollens, you should not be that worried about the limit if u were not school nominated…That’s just what I feel…
I think it’s really confusing.
My research paper was like…800 words and Personal statement around 600 words…
and supplement strictly 500 characters, short answer exactly 150 words.
So…I do not really think that the word limit would be a large problem.
I am just wondering…since nearly all those Chinese applicants who have already received the invitation all sent their recommendations via mail including the transcript, while another friend of mine and I all submitted everything via Common app. (the recommendations from my teachers in Germany were damaged by xx post on their way to China…and…it was like…already 10/20) So all parts of my application were done completely online and the admission officer confirmed me that I did not need to send any additional copies. So…CONFUSED!</p>
<p>anyway…am gonna chill nd read some great books to peace my broken heart. =(</p>
<p>@silkysilky23, it’s ok) thanks for the inormation )
am I the only one who doesn’t see the research project assignment in the common application anymore?!</p>
<p>information*</p>
<p>It should be under the NYU Supplement</p>
<p>I know, and it was, but it isn’t anymore! can anyone check the commonapp please? maybe there’s something wrong with my computer…</p>
<p>WHOA! Its really true, even I checked the application supplement just now, and the research question has been removed. Looks like they’re gonna make it just like last time,</p>
<p>Last time, you had to answer the same research question on the nomination form if you’re nominated, or in a survey conducted before a CW providing you’re invited to a particular CW.</p>
<p>oh my goodness!..I wish it was there!!! 
ghosh!..that was one part on which I could showcase my skills!..now, its gone!..
I guess, they’d become more quite score-oriented now! :S</p>
<p>well… that’s not good news…
@silkysilky23 i also kind of counted on the essays and the project more than on my scores…
@murtaza101 are you a NYUAD freshman now?</p>
<p>@silkysilk23 – They’re not becoming score oriented, they still are gonna look at your CommonApp essay and the personal statements and recommendations and all… removing just one essay doesn’t mean that they’re score-oriented.
@Dzhannet – I’m not a NYUAD freshman, I’ve applied before to NYUAD, made into a CW but couldn’t make the final cut. I’m re-applying now as Early Decision II. Since I’ve applied before, that why I know how admission process was last time. :)</p>
<p>@murtaza101, did you take a gap year? or were you admitted to somewhere else?
hope you’ll get in this time )</p>
<p>@Dzhannet – Yup I’m taking a gap year. I couldn’t apply elsewhere cause of personal probs or more like parental probs. Well thanks, and best of luck to all you as well. :)</p>
<p>@murtaza, thnx )</p>
