If you get in ED, do you find out about presidential scholars right then? Or do they not decide who gets presidential until everyone is admitted?
Related question, could applying ED hurt your chances of being selected for presidential? The website says it’s the top ten percent of the class but I’ve heard at some schools the numbers can be played with to reserve honors spots to entice regular decision applicants.
Thanks for any insight!
I think those are good questions, but I think you should go directly to admissions to ask how they handle ED candidates for that award.
I can tell you that D who applied and was accepted ED was out of the running for talent merit scholarships in art (for their BFA program) when she applied ED. They are given out in March to RD candidates only and her portfolio was never considered. We were told that in advance, though. Ask NYU directly.
Thanks for responding! Sounds like it’s something worth finding out.
