<p>I'm currently a high school junior and I know that NYU will be my first-choice school. I am wondering if it is any easier to get accepted to NYU through their Early Decision program than it is through their regular freshman admissions period, especially in terms of a student's GPA and SAT scores.</p>
<p>Thanks,

<p>yes (10 char.)</p>
<p>Wow, a reply within 5 minutes. I like these boards already.</p>
<p>I guess I should have asked, additionally, how significant is the difference? Could you please be a little bit more specific?</p>
<p>Collegeboard.com says NYU's overall acceptance rate is 36%. It also has the ED statistics.</p>
<h1>Number of early decision applications received: 3,397</h1>
<h1>Number admitted under early decision plan: 1,131</h1>
<p>The ED decisions equal about 33% acceptance through the ED plan. Anyone know why this is?</p>
<p>My guess is that the ED applicants are sup-bar and hoping the ED option will help them get in. I think that, in any case, applying ED increases your chances.</p>
