*****NYU Early Decision 2 Class of 2020 Discussion*****

@pizzaandpeonies Their average ACT is 28-32 so you’re good :slight_smile:

Guys, if I do not want to apply for any financial aid, do I have to mention in anywhere?

What exactly does the FA change look like and when should we (if we get it) expect it? Mine currently says “Award access not available”

@kker98 lucky you :slight_smile: i applied for CAS but also listed gallatin and GLS as alternates. good luck!

@renegade23 FA changes last year occurred around the first week of Feb and came in waves. as for what it looked like it switched from award access not avaliable to new york university 2016 award access not avaliable :slight_smile:

… So can you guys get on it or nah?

i got on thanks for the help everyone!

Thanks @Rougarou. Do you know any previous Steinhardt applicant’s stats??

I’m so worried about my application, can someone chance me for Stern Finance and CAS Econ?

@dehca2016 Hey there! I think your stats are fine, perhaps that bad junior year would affect you. But it’s great how you took many AP exams and have business-related ECs. Did you apply Ed2 or regular?

@dehca2016 , I really hate to break it to you but I got rejected with the same stats and course rigor as you buddy, with a 140 point higher SAT Score and a legacy. That GPA was the bane of my existence. Hopefully, you won’t follow the same path! Best of luck to you!

@CantTouch2300

Stern or CAS?

is there anyone here who could rate my ECs, if are they good for Gallatin? pls <3

Second semester report card came in and it was not as good as I hoped…

I should’ve applied ED 1. Whoops.

@dehca2016 I feel you man

@dehca2016 How were your essays?

@SnapApp

Solid. NYU essay was 9/10

I hate when people score their own essays. What does that even mean? How do you quantify something you wrote? No one is going to actually give themselves a trash score on their own essay. No one knows the true quality of your essays other than the adcoms as they know what they are looking for.

@renegade23 HAHAH i’ve always thought this! It makes absolutely no sense.

out of curiosity, what did you guys write about in your why nyu essays?
