NYU ED II- The Waiting Process

<p>Early Decision 1 candidates found out yesterday and seeing everyone's ecstatic posts is making the waiting process for my ED II notification all the more unbearable. In the meantime however, I plan to stalk the NYU Class of 2018 page avidly (no shame) and anticipate the day I may be able to post on the group myself. </p>

<p>2 months and 1 day, ED II ers, until we come to terms with our fate. Hang in there.</p>

<p>How do you think your stats are? Im like paranoid af</p>

<p>I’m applying as a BFA Acting major to Tisch. I think my stats are pretty good actually! </p>

<p>Three-page resume of extracurriculars (theatre as well as school related), 3.86 Cumulative, 2010 SAT, and pretty qualified recommenders. </p>

<p>Also did the NYU Tisch Pre-college program for 6 college credits last summer, so I’m hoping that my prior affiliation with the university gives me a little boost. </p>

<p>Regardless, I’m equally paranoid af.</p>

<p>I submitted a resume too but i thought you have to keep it limited to one page because of the attention span of the reader. and i did a summer program too for precollege!!! I’m hoping that gives me a boost too because i also became an ambassador for it. </p>

<p>And yea my superstore I’m hoping to be a 2300+ but don’t know yet, and got 2 recommendations during my time at precollege.</p>

<p>but my gap is low because of freshman and sophomore year so same paranoid af.</p>

<p>I believe they said two pages, so I just sent an additional supplement doc. listing just my volunteer and service related experience. But I know for a fact that NYU does a good job of considering all criteria in your applications. I have several friends who are first year students now that had either a low GPA or a low SAT score. </p>

<p>It’s the personal statement that gets them I think. That’s why I spent like 5783084621 hours on mine haha. </p>

<p>Wish I applied ED 1 so I wouldn’t have to endure this agonizing anticipation, but I needed the extra time.</p>

<p>hahah same here! but i just wanted to take the sat one more time and my senior year grades. Stern is like impossible to get into :confused: </p>

<p>but hows your portfolio for Tisch??</p>

<p>You’re so right. Stern is crazy competitive. But I hope you get in! I just wouldn’t stand a chance. But with Tisch, I feel they are more lenient with grades and scores, focusing more on actually ability and artistic talent. </p>

<p>And I’m applying to the Acting program which doesn’t necessarily ask for a portfolio such as the Film or Dramatic Writing program would. We just have to prepare two monologues, headshots, and a resume for the audition in January.</p>

<p>Yea. Hopefully they overlook a few grades! How are those materials coming along? I hope you get in!</p>

<p>What’d you write your essay about? I feel like thats the only part you get to show who you actually are</p>

<p>They’re coming along quite swimmingly actually haha. Just practicing over and over again until my pieces become second nature.</p>

<p>And my essay was written in prose form where I incorporated the importance of NYC to my craft and the impact I plan to make as an NYU student. Also discussed my biggest failures and how they have helped me grow tremendously, using examples of historical figures in society. I tried to make it really mind-opening. Also incorporated a bit of wit at times haha. Hope they appreciate my sense of humor.</p>

<p>hopefully it will all work out! This wait is going to be horrible tho!</p>

<p>No doubt about it. All in this together though! Let’s stay strong.</p>

<p>Yea deffinetly!</p>
