<p>man. everyone here is getting financial aid. i'm not getting any. my entire freaking AREA CODE isn't gonna get any financial aid. i hate basking ridge, nj. </p>
<p>btw. we should all protest to nyu and make them devlop an online notification system. save time, money, paper and anxiety.</p>
<p>oh btw, i have a 1430/4.13 if anyone wants to do a quick eval. look at the posts i started to find my ecs'. thanks guys.</p>
<p>can't wait to get letterrrrr</p>
<p>jason_v2, you gave me a lot of hope. seriously. with your stats. you will get in. unfortunately, yours wasn't included in those first few batches...and mine also</p>
<p>ok sternies- what fin aid are u getting?
hmm i wonder what the acceptance rate was for stern..</p>
<p>NYU usually doesn't publish acceptance rates for separate schools...they are roughly similar though (of course there are a few variations...but nothing extreme).</p>
<p>I don't think people who haven't gotten a decision letter yet should be freaking out. Its still early, and to my knowledge NYU does not have a policy of sending out acceptances first, rejections later or by geographical area....I believe the letters are sent out in batches regardless of the decision.</p>
<p>jwblue rocks. =P</p>
<p>still waitinggg..</p>
<p>Ha..thanks for kind compliment. Hang in there, we've all waited for important decisions, I know it blows, but things usually work out nicely.</p>
<p>Let me just address an issue again. I've gotten so many PMs regarding this, and I think there has even been a couple threads started, so I think its easiser to just say it in one place. </p>
<p>I HIGHLY DOUBT that NYU sends letters out in an order that correlates with the decision they made. So if you haven't gotten a letter yet, it does not mean you got rejected, until you actualy get that letter in your mailbox. In fact, I'm sure there are people who don't have letters yet that are probably accepted. </p>
<p>Also, NYU is not lying when they say letters are sent out in batches (and not by the outcome)..they have no incentive to lie to you if they aren't going to take you anyway or even if they are taking you ED (since you're coming if accepted). </p>
<p>Best of luck to those who have not recieved decision letters yet.</p>
<p>jwblue-
I'm applying to Steinheardt as a major in Communications, however a lot of my activities point to both journalism AND communications. Do you think i should apply to CAS or Steinhardt?
stats: 3.3 uw
1440 (700v, 740m)
790 writing
720 math 2c
760 korean
690 literature
ecs include having my own 3 hr radio program every saturday for three years, writing for the local newspaper and school publications.. etc.
Thanks a bunch!</p>
<p>id say def go with CAS</p>
<p>Why dont you try Gallatin?</p>
<p>anyway, does anyone know if there's an early-decision orientation? or do we wait for the spring for one?</p>
<p>Earshot,</p>
<p>By your activities (e.g. radio show, newspaper), it seems journalism is more of your interest...so you should probably apply to CAS. Communications encompasses so much more than journalism. </p>
<p>Regardless of where you apply, I think you have a decent shot. Your GPA is kind of on the low side, your SAT is okay. You have great ECs and seem to be very committed to what you do...this will probably help you in the admissions process.</p>
<p>Good luck and keep us posted.</p>
<p>jw, I read in the paper the other day the average income on wall street is over $5000 a week and the average bonus is 100k, is everyone there that wealthy? If so how hard is it to get a job there?</p>
<p>5000 and week and 100K is decent, but not a whole lot in Manhattan, where you are consistently surrounded by a lifestyle even 500K a year cannot buy. It also depends on who you mean by "everyone"....anyone whose been working on the street a few years is probably doing all right, but you probably won't be a millionaire your first year out of school. </p>
<p>To get a job there, you need to come out of a good school, have decent grades, and make a good fit to wherever you are applying to work....its not tremedously difficult like winning a Rhodes or something.</p>
<p>my family income right now is about 50k, so 250k isnt too shabby lol</p>
<p>"anyone whose been working on the street a few years is probably doing all right, but you probably won't be a millionaire your first year out of school. "</p>
<p>what do u consider all right? how long till im a millionare? lol</p>
<p>hey jwblue</p>
<p>i applied to regular NYU CAS and just wanted to hear ur opinion.
I think the only big issue i have is the SAT verbal score..i have 710 math and 500 english. English is my second language (came to this country 6th grade) and i got a 270 on my toefl test which is consierably pretty good. I have great EC with being school president for 3 years and soccer captain for 2 years with like bunch other EC like NHS, BETA, Spanish HOnors, Math honors, etc. I am an IB diploma candidate and ive taken IB classes all my high school years. I have a 4.7 GPA with ranked 9 out of 250 people. I have a speech impairment and my reccomendation was from a speech therapist + teachers. My essays are pretty strong. I am worried b/c my english verbal is so low, is it possible to get into nyu CAS?</p>
<p>hwi, i think youll get into gsp, you fit their definition like perfectly</p>
<p>Matt, I'd venture you don't live in Manhattan. Yeah, $250K isn't bad by any definition, in fact its damn great, but in a place like Manhattan, you need more to be in the elite.</p>
<p>I don't know what I consider not bad...since I always want more no matter how much I have. I mean a 100K a year is enough to live a decent life even in Manhattan, but I don't know if you'd be satisified with that. </p>
<p>The fastest way to becoming a millionaire is becoming a trader....you're only limited by how good you are.</p>
<p>Hwipark,</p>
<p>Your SAT is on the low side. However your rank and ECs are solid. If you haven't done so, you might want to try taking a few SAT IIs to make up for the low SAT I (especially try to do well on the writing SAT II). Do you have SAT IIs? </p>
<p>It would have been better for you to apply ED, but I'm not here to be a Monday morning QB, so thats not an issue. Overall, you have shot, but I don't think you have a great shot (I'm not putting you down here, just being realistic). Also, keep in mind that only a very very small percentage of people are even considered for GSP, let alone invited to the program, so don't apply to NYU banking on that. </p>
<p>Best of luck, and keep us posted! </p>
<p>-NYU class of '00</p>
