Can anyone who was deferred ED 2 offer me any insight on the schools decision? ED 2 kids are telling the school we will come to your school if you admit us. I would imagine this results in a high yield for the school. Now the ED 2 and ED 1 deferred kids get pooled with RD and there is no commitment to still go to NYU if they are accepted. Still trying to wrap my head around it. Must have to do with people’s ability to pay. I totally understand if you apply EA and get deferred but the ED deferral is stumping me.
@Star3Lord hey…I’m from india too. …what were your %age FROM 9th to 11th…?? SAT ??? I’ll be applying for tandon school of engineering computer science engineering. …
@Asil65 Practically, in my opinion(which has no validity), the more ED kids NYU takes, the more it looks like RD kids have no chance (more ED applicants/accps, fewer RD spots). If that happens, in the future, kids might not even apply RD under the fear of rejection. Therefore, long-term, the revenue they generate through the application fees from portals like common app will reduce and since NYU does have to pay extreme operation costs with all the growing NY expenses, it may be harder for them to crack a profit to re-invest, grow, and improve rankings. Long term, it makes sense. NYU saw almost $5.2 million (assuming 100% margin which is wrong) in just application fee revenue. Also, when it defers kids and pretty much knows they’ll come, they can pump up RD acceptance/retain figures while attracting the profit they need. I think.
ED 2 kids don’t even have any significant yield control in comparison to the ED 1 applicants. It’s quite literally like applying RD but while showing NYU you love the bejesus out of them, so maybe that 1360 is considered as a 1400 - IMO.
In my deferral email, they mentioned that only 700 or so kids got deferred out of 5500 applicants and that the 700 had good chances, but had to be compared against the general applicant population before decisions. That’s 12% of all applicants simply deferred. They might have the profit motive, but then again who really knows.
@hw1109 Congrats on your Stern admit! I am Stern as well but live in NYC if you have any questions.
@ Abrollll, thank you for your input. I too calculated the revenue the school made with 75k applicants. Wow! I had not thought about how the stats of ED 2 kids could drive up the RD statistics as well. I also thought that ED 2 and ED 1 kids were evaluated similarly during the admissions process. My daughter did not apply ED 1 anywhere. We were hesitant to let her apply ED I because of the cost issues and then made a last minute decision to let her apply ED 2. That may have been a critical mistake on our part. Such a confusing process. Good luck to you on April 1st Abrollll.
@Sam123nyu that’s a very odd question.
So, I was born in November 1998 and my 9th standard was in 2013-2014. I didn’t have any gap between my school years. Calculate everything yourself. I took SAT in 2017 and scored 1470( R&W-670 Math-800 ).
I would suggest you apply to CAS instead of Tandon for computer science but that’s my preference and the choice is yours in the end.
Best of luck !!!
@Star3Lord oh well…but CAS gives you a BA degree…and tandon gives you BS degree…and i want BS…well i wanted to know how were your grades or academic qualifications in class 9 10 11 …
@Star3Lord so you’ll be 20 the November of freshman year?
@milan99 Thanks and congratulations to you too!!! Excited to join the fb group and get to know more )))
@Sophagawea - SAME THING happened here! Feels … very suspect.
To everyone else:
Too late for this year’s flock, but for anybody from the future, heed this warning:
DO NOT SAY YES TO THE “WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A SECOND CAMPUS OF INTEREST” QUESTION!!! (If you are applying ED)
IT MEANS THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER YOU FOR DEFERRAL TO RD FOR YOUR PRIMARY CAMPUS.
THEY HAPPILY STICK YOU IN THE “NOT NYC” PILE AND QUICKLY MOVE ON, AND YOU ARE STUCK WITH YOUR SECOND CAMPUS. No transfers. No waiting list for your first choice. Boom. Done. Go away.
It feels so disingenuous. Of course deferral would be preferred over the second campus! Duh!
@Sam123nyu You, my friend, have incomplete information. CAS offers both BA and BS in computer science and I applied for BS in CS. However if you really want to go to Tandon, Best of Luck.
@misingthebeach Yeah, I will be 20 years old in November in freshman year itself. I am taking a year gap between 12th standard and the first year of college.
@Star3Lord …oh is it…!!! Actually at the official site of tandon…there was a comparison b/w tandon cs and cas cs…but if that’s the case…this a good news!!!
Thanks alot my friend! !!!
@Jenzyyy Just got accepted with a scholarship with an UW GPA of 4.0 and 1370 SAT, but I’m an international student doing A Levels with 4 As in AS Level and predicted 4 As for my A Levels. 4 As and 3 As in the IGCSEs. Extra curricular includes lots of volunteering and welfare boosting initiatives.
Nationally recognized self taught musician with over 10 internship placements.
@TottenhamFan12 Do we call the financial aid department or is there any other procedure? I’m an international student too and was offered quite a low aid. I Some insight would be great!
@ everyone who was deferred:
are you guys just filling out the form? I know for other colleges people tend to write emails to specifically express their continued interest and how the college is still their first choice, but NYU has a form. Plus they said “don’t send any additional information to the admissions office,” but i’m not sure if that’s referring to more letters of recommendations and stuff.
@chloeyy- thanks for posting this. I had thought students who were deferred were automatically put in the RD pool but it looks like you need to tell them yes or no with the form. I had my daughter recheck for me this morning.
Pretty sure I got in with my essays since the rest of my academic profile is pretty weak.
I applied for Computer Science & Mathematics at CAS
OOS Florida
GPA UW: 3.2
GPA W: 3.5
SAT Composite: 1370 (660 / 710)
SAT Essay: 7 / 7 / 8
ACT: 30
1 AP my Junior year, 7 Senior year.
→ Tutor, Ambassador and “Qualified Helper” for an online study site that got shut down about a year ago. Was in these positions since middle school.
→ Volunteer at Pet Shelter and Irma Disaster Relief Program
→ English Honors Society
→ Jazz Band
I used two recommendation letters from AP Lang and my AP Lit teachers which I feel were very strong. I personally believe my essays were very strong as well and I think they really defined me. I’m pretty my essays were the selling point of my application.
I got in with a $32k scholarship.
@Tsuzama are you a first generation college student, or an underrepresented minority?
Hey, I got accepted to NYU ED2 as well but when I try to view my financial aid award it says “inquiry access denied” I already called and was told that I was put on a list but I’m confused about what’s going on. Does anybody have an idea what this all means or when I will get my award?
@chloeyy I think I’m just gonna fill out the form and not send anything in. I was doing some research and last year they said not to send any new recommendation letters or anything like that, so I’m gonna assume that the “additional information” would be those things. I don’t want to really harm my chances by sending in too much or overwhelming them
