<p>NYU is my dream school, but now that i got rejected..
I was wondering if anyone here knows about the appealing process...
I tried to look online, but i did not see anything about it.</p>
<p>There is none. NYU was also my dream school. I have no idea why I was rejected. I applied for Computer Science and had a rec from my AP Comp Sci teacher at school stating that I was by far the most involved and highest achieving student his class. Had a rec from my guidance counselor which explained that even though I had a fairly low GPA freshman and sophmore year (3.5 weighted average), I picked it up my junior year with a 4.64 weighted gpa, which was one of the top 10 for that year. I had a 4.35 this year with 5 AP courses. so my cumulative gpa for all four years ended up being 3.91 weighted and 3.55 unweighted. </p>
<p>I got a 2040 on my SAT I’s and 720/800/640 on SATIIs</p>
<p>I applied to CAS for computer science. I was sure I’d get into CAS. Instead they rejected me and offered me admission to NYU-Poly. </p>
<p>Im not sure if I was rejected because they didnt want me or if I was rejected because they wanted to send more applicants to Poly. </p>
<p>I really want to appeal my rejection. I sent an e-mail asking if I was rejected because my credentials weren’t strong enough or if they just want more people at NYU-Poly. Didn’t get a reply. </p>
<p>I am thinking of just attending Fordham, not talking to anyone (a la not getting attached to it too much), just doing my work, getting a 4.0, and then transferring to NYU. I would even accept LSP at this point.</p>
<p>really dont understand why I was rejected.</p>
<p>karmic,</p>
<p>Who did you email regarding the reason for your referral to NYU-Poly instead of acceptance into NYU CAS? Was it your regional admissions counselor? I would call to follow up to talk to someone outright at the Admissions Office. They should at least explain this new process to you (just heard of people being funneled to NYU-Poly since the merger). This is if you have not heard from your regional admissions counselor.</p>
<p>ruby, I have not read of anyone appealing their admission decision from NYU, but that is not uncommon with NYU’s west coast comparable school, USC. I read of many students who appealed and quite a few got their decision overturned from rejection to acceptance or spring admission (comparable to NYU’s liberal studies program acceptance). However, I think if NYU means so much to you, you should set up a time in person (if possible) or by phone to talk to either your regional admissions counselor or someone else in the proper position of authority. At the very least, they can let you know what you can do to be a more attractive candidate as a transfer student (someone recommended this to you previously). You owe it to yourself to get some closure by talking to NYU admissions since this was something you worked very hard for in a single-minded fashion. You may have to be more persistent or even get your parents involved to get some time with NYU Admissions. </p>
<p>I felt sad reading your posts about your dejection after hearing from NYU. Please at least stand up for yourself and know that if you have addressed this decision with all options available to you, you would be putting out your best and that best part of you will carry you to success no matter where you eventually end up in school. I wish you the best and I did think what you presented here about yourself sounded strong. So you should do well wherever you go.</p>
<p>I e-mailed the Assistant Director of Admissions, like my rejection e-mail told me to if I had any questions. </p>
<p>Where can I find out who my regional admissions counselor is?</p>
<p>Ruby, I really feel for you. Sorry about your rejection. Unfortunately, as I have seen similar postings in the past, there are no appeals process. The rejection usually stands. You may try talking to an admission counselor to find out why, but don’t get your hopes up. Transferring in after one or two years may be a different story.</p>
<p>Also, I would try the Asst. Director of Admissions again, if that was the person you were directed to contact in the letter to you. I would email both the regional counselor and Asst Director of Admissions to see who will respond.</p>
<p>I am sure they are very busy this time of the year, but I see this as your “right” as an applicant who put time and money into a time and energy-consuming process. You have done your part and now it is their turn to do their part. It is your right to inquire what the NYU-Poly referral is about and why you were referred to the program (when you had not applied to the program) instead of getting directly into CAS. GL with getting some response from NYU.</p>
