NYU ED1 Class of 2017 Discussion Thread

<p>Does it increase your chances to only specify Stern as your school of choice rather than allowing admissions to defer you to reg campus?</p>

<p>TiMiiT-- I donā€™t think itā€™ll raise your chances. If they defer you, itā€™s probably because you werenā€™t quite strong enough, so if you only specify stern, you just wonā€™t be admitted. I marked it because the binding agreement doesnā€™t hold, and youā€™ve already paid the application fee, so why not?</p>

<p>Application is due in less than a monthā€¦ How far is everyone?</p>

<p>Hello Everybody!
My name is Brooke and Iā€™m from New Jersey!
I know Iā€™ve been sitting at home the past few weekends just finishing up college essays and such, and I just want to wish everybody luck throughout the admission process! Hopefully, I will see you all next year! Good luck!</p>

<p>On Albert, I was wondering if there is any way to tell if they got all of my recommendations and such. The only 3 sections are application fee, transcript, and standardized tests. My school uses naviance to do teacher recs and it says theyā€™re completed, but Iā€™m just really hesitant if they sent. As for my counselor rec, I think that is sent along with my school report which is also sent with my transcript so once they say theyā€™ve gotten my transcript (the only box that is not yet checked) I think that means they got my SR and counselor rec. Just not sure about the teacher recs. Anyone know??</p>

<p>I thought you had to do the teacher rec over common app, but that might just be because my school doesnā€™t have naviance.
I was going to call NYU in a week or so to confirm that they received everything & Iā€™m not missing anything. Because that would really suck.</p>

<p>My school used Naviance when I applied. Donā€™t worry about it, if theyā€™re missing stuff they will contact you.</p>

<p>My uncle (we have the same last name) is an NYU graduateā€¦however I donā€™t see anywhere on the common app/ nyu supplement that asks for legacy. Am I missing something?</p>

<p>@NYUSternie2016 Will they really contact me if they are missing anything? I feel like they would not really care because there are so many applicants to handle. Is there any finite way of finding out/confirmation that my application is totally complete?</p>

<p>Iā€™m really nervous about getting in! My uw GPA is really low but I have a high weighted GPA (and extenuating circumstances that somewhat explain my low uw GPA). Iā€™m applying to Sternā€¦ will they still put a lot of emphasis on good extracurriculars and a good essay?</p>

<p>ALSO can someone please pm me so we can maybe compare essays or something? I really really need someone to give me some feedback please!</p>

<p>Hi, I was looking through the NYU website about the undergrad admission test requirements but Im still a bit confused</p>

<p>I took the ACT two times so far
Do I have to send in both ACT Scores? Or can i just send in the better one only?</p>

<p>@mashimashi8 just the better one!</p>

<p>They should contact you and if youā€™re really worried, just reach out to them.</p>

<p>Does NYU accept electronically submitted transcripts through the Common App? Iā€™m very confused because I donā€™t see anywhere that states this on the NYU Common App.</p>

<p>Will NYU see first quarter grades for EDI applicants? How important are these grades (if they are seen) in the admissions process??</p>

<p>@nyu427 no they will not</p>

<p>I am applying for Recorded Music at Tischā€¦ Iā€™m so nervous! I spent my summer in their ReMu summer program and fell in love with it. I have a 29 on my ACT, but my gpa is about average to what they expect for grades. I also have a creative sample and an extra two essays for the specific program. I think I kicked the essays butts, but Iā€™m freaking out over the creative sample and my grades in general. One of the adjunct professors at Clive Davis is writing my rec letter. Iā€™m doing basically everything extra that I can to try and get in. On Naviance, Iā€™m directly in the middle, ACT wise, of the people who have gotten into NYU. </p>

<p>Basically, Iā€™m just really scared. I canā€™t imagine going to any other school.</p>

<p>omg this thread is so funny. im applying ed1 tooĀ…. nyu is literally all i think aboutĀ…ā€¦but yeah im so happy we know so early!!! @nyu421 im from ct too!</p>

<p>is anyone applying to tisch for film? and if so does anyone know if news type pieces are good to submit for the video supplement??</p>

<p>How long is your essay on something that intrigues you? I feel like mine is REALLY long, itā€™s at about 1,400 words. Not sure if I should delete some stuff because itā€™s so long.</p>

<p>@HelloParis On the common app, there is a 1500 character cap. So even if you try to write more than 1500 characters, the common app wonā€™t let you.
By the way, that essay was long for me, but I was able to trim it down. (Its 1478 characters)</p>
