NYU ED II 2018 Discussion

<p>@manisha926 All that means is that you have nothing to do but wait for Friday!</p>

<p>@outonalimb this is true. I suppose it’ll all start around 9am my time, which is somewhat convenient!</p>

<p>@outonalimb I’m scared. I’m so scared. If I get rejected, I don’t know if I’ll be able to crawl back to this this thread or even CC for the matter, to say that I was rejected. When I open it up and all the people who were accepted are all posting “ACCEPTED! WHOOOO” and “I GOT IN!”, I think I’ll burst into tears and have a meltdown. </p>

<p>That’s just me, of course. I can be kind of melodramatic at times. But yeah.</p>

<p>@lyndak Yeah, I’ve seen other threads where people do that and, although they have EVERY right to exclaim, it just seems a bit weird to me, personally. ~55,000 people applied, if they admit 7,000 students than that’s still quite a lot of people who were rejected. </p>

<p>I don’t know, it just seems wrong to boast so much on an admissions thread like this :/</p>

<p>@lyndak Hahaha don’t worry you’re not the only one! And I’m pretty sure we will all be fine :)</p>

<p>@ckravitz1223 Well one factor considered is that you’d be so excited and so pumped about the acceptance, you just have that feeling you NEED to proclaim this to the entire world. </p>

<p>@lyndak @ckravitz1223 I sincerely sincerely hope that we all get in. </p>

<p>Oh and since I posted my stats and my FA status (I did get the FA change) on the pledge thread, I will say right now that if you don’t see a post of mine saying ‘Accepted!" or something like that acknowledging that I’ve been accepted on Friday, you can assume that I was rejected. I’ll just say this now cause I think I know for a fact that I won’t come back. Too much emotional stress :’(</p>

<p>Anyhoo, I hope we all get in.</p>

<p>@lyndak same here man! It’s the only school I see myself going to! Like I honestly don’t want to go to any other school lol probably like most people here </p>

<p>Same. And for some reason, Frank Sinatra’s “New York New York” has been stuck in my head for this whole week haha
</p>

<p>@outonalimb Haha!! Same!</p>

<p>@outonalimb @ckravitz OMG ME TOO. If we’re all accepted, we HAVE to meet each other.</p>

<p>@ckravitz1223 @lyndak HAHahahaha Definitely!</p>

<p>@ckravitz So nervouss! Friday seems so far away, yet so close
</p>

<p>@lyndak Why of course!</p>

<p>@manisha926 Yeah. It’s really, really, an anxiety-inducing situation :/</p>

<p>i literally can’t stop thinking about NYU. i was rejected from Barnard ED I and am so mad at myself that I didn’t just apply to NYU ED I because Barnard was such a reach and after visiting NYU I don’t know what I saw in Barnard.
Last minute nerves: 3.5 GPA, 10 AP’s (6 this year), and 29 ACT (26 Math, 31 English), double legacy, killer essays
what do you think? do i have a shot at ED 2 for CAS?</p>

<p>@collegebound I think you have a shot, but then again none of us here are really qualified to say anything. So your best bet is to trust your gut and watch what happens :slight_smile: </p>

<p>@manisha926 @collegebound1260 I agree with manisha. I don’t have the credentials to say anything but I think you have a great shot. All the best!!</p>

<p>So on the nyu website, it says that they start sending out the decisions on friday at 5pm. Why to people keep talking about the decisions coming out earlier like at 9?</p>

<p>@collegebound1260 If you’re getting last minute nerves, you should do a pro/con list of all your positive stuff (good essay, good interests/activities, FA change, etc) and also your weakness (maybe test scores, or other things) and I think it would help you a bit. I did it, and it at least got me to calm down a bit and be more confident and optimistic with all my positive aspect, because nyu IS holistic, so yeah if these positive aspects pop up to them, they will take you. </p>

“Admission decisions will be sent via email, beginning in the pre-dawn hours (New York City time) on Friday. We will continue to send decisions throughout the day, with all decisions released by Friday evening.”
That’s what Shawn Abbott said in his update yesterday. </p>
