ah okay, tysm!
Of course! @alliwon
Thank you! You too! @Dancer2468
Where else are yâall applying to?
GWU, UF, UVA, and a couple more in-state schools. wbu?
Iâm holding off on sending other applications until I know about NYU so I can save my fee waivers, and if I get into NYU, Iâm going no matter what (and I wouldnât mind going to the only school I apply to). But if I donât get in, Iâll apply to Fordham, BU, GWU, UNC-Chapel Hill, and probably a few others for RD.
same, iâm holding off to apply to the rest and NYU is my top choice. i hope we both get in!! 
Itâd be great to be able to go to NYU saying we only applied to one school and enrolled :))
we can also say we got accepted into every school we applied to!!
can you get waitlised in ED process?
Iâm also applying to Fordham, UPenn, and a couple of in-state schools. Yes, you can get waitlisted in the ED process. @MrDiaz
So does NYU do rolling decisions for ED or are they all sent out on one day? I NEED TO KNOWWWW!!!
I donât believe you can get waitlisted directly from ED, but you can be deferred to either ED2 or RD. There are 4 possible outcomes from ED:
- admit to primary choice - binding
- admit to alternate choice - non-binding (but still need to decide by the usual ED deposit deadline)
- deny
- deferred to later round, either ED2 or RD. It is still possible to get put on the waitlist from the RD round
If you look at last yearâs thread, some people that applied through Early Decision 1 got put directly on the waitlist. @SJ2727
People said that it was the first time NYU put some applicants on the waitlist directly when applying Early Decision 1 and 2 last year.
All sent out on one day, by December 15. NYU will email us if the date is pushed forward.
Hi. I applied ED1, my teachers and counselors wanted me to apply to MIT but I always had this notion that my portfolio was not good enough. So I thought why not apply NYUAD. I still think my chances are slim but letâs see what this community thinks. Itâs always fun and insightful to look at other peopleâs stats so here are mine:
5As 2As 2Bs Olevels
4As AS levels in Maths, Chem, Physics, CS.
On track with predicted grade of A in further maths A2, with A*s in the rest.
A Levels High Expectation of 5A*s
Expected score of 800 on both math and physics but I am not sending those because the decision will be made before score release.

This is just a sneak peak. I had to 600 words additional info to describe my other activities.
I have strong recommendations from my counselor, physics and mathematics teachers.
Please tell me if these stats are good enough for NYUAD. I really wanna be there to be at forefront with change makers. Rejection and fall back has always fueled me. On realistic grounds, whatâs this application like.
@Dancer2468 ah yes, I remember now. I seem to recall almost all of those waitlists were Stern applicants, maybe one or two to Steinhardt. NYU has not updated the portion of its website where it explains the ED outcomes to include waitlist as an option https://www.nyu.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/high-school-counselors/decision-information.html
(Posting this cause it might help ease some of your nervesâŠ) But donât stress if youâre GPA and SAT/ACT scores arenât that high, NYU cares a lot more about the âflavorâ of the applicant. I got in last year with a very cookie-cutter application, but when I asked a lot of other people here what their application looked like I saw that a great deal of them had even lower stats than mine but they also had âquirkyâ/âdifferentâ experiences. So 1 really unique thing they did was just as good as the 20+ activities I wrote down. The only school, I will say, that doesnât do admissions like this is Stern, they wanât a certain âtypeâ of person.I even see this when I talk to the CAS, Tisch, (even Tandon) kids theyâre very chill and laid back, but when youre in the dining hall the stern kids are always saying every two seconds âI have this idea for a start-upââŠYeah but thatâs my two cents.
Thank you for sharing!! How do you like NYU so far? @LapisLazumarril
