@Oddenigma Yeah, I got into CAS

Are people still receiving scholarships today?

@MirabilisSum yay! Congrats!!!

My housing page says this for the last term:

"Academic Year 2016-2017 - Undergraduate

Term Classification

NYU Abu Dhabi Undergraduate
New Student"
NYUAD was my first choice. I’m freaking out! Did anyone else get this change?

@Inteledge did you happen to go to the candidate’s weekend hosted by NYU Abu Dhabi?

Yes, I did. @cchopeful2016

Congrats! I think that change in the portal is a good sign :slight_smile:

@Inteledge that seems like a really good sign tbh

So If I didn’t get any scholarships it either means I’m admitted without scholarships or I just didn’t get accepted

I’ve been telling myself I wouldn’t join in on the Stress Fest here, but I’m curious (and this waiting is just the worst) – did anybody else get the Event change on Albert today asking for a confirmation number?

@kelseylanelle where do you see that event change?

Oh wait yes I can put in a confirmation number in the event status. But is this new?

Mine now says Brooklyn Freshman in both Summer Session 2016 and Academic Year 2016-2017. I applied to Tandon. Earlier it only said Brooklyn Freshman for the Fall term. For Summer 2016 in Washington DC it says that the application is closed. Does this mean I got rejected?? Or did I get in?? Someone help

@sandsand6 I have no idea. I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen it there before.

Am i the only one who has nothing for 2016-2017… I only have summer 2016 and dc 2016

@kelseylanelle @sandsand6 Yes, it’s definitely new, but I’m pretty sure this doesn’t signify anything.

I’ve always had the “Confirmation Number” in Event Status on Albert. I don’t think it means anything :slight_smile:

Are Rd decisions coming out now or am I misinterpreting this?
