<p>I really hope that many can give insight to a few questions that I would like to address!</p>
<p>So hi! I’ve spent half an hour reading the recent comments that everyone has posted up regarding the change in their “Application Status” from (mostly) CAS to the LS Core Program because it has happened to me as well. </p>
<p>What I’ve determined so far was that either:
You have been rejected to your first choice but accepted to the LS program.
You are being considered for both your first choice and LS.
You have been rejected to your first choice and still in consideration for LS.</p>
<p>I’m going to call tomorrow just to get another first-hand account. I’m positive that people working in admissions are not allowed to give out information regarding whether or not you’ve been accepted this early so they’ll probably give vague, general answers. Which is why I’m still worried.</p>
<p>I was just wondering if most of the people who had this “glitch” occur to them last year either got in to the LS program or rejected from it. Were their any instances where they actually got accepted to their first choice instead and it really is just a glitch? </p>
<p>I’m ecstatic at the possibility of getting into NYU, yet a little ambivalent about the program. I’ve heard a lot of pros and cons… still weighing them down. </p>
<p>I know you shouldn’t be over-analyzing the Albert site but honestly it’s 6 or so days before the final result and I believe everyone is pulling their hair out for anything official.</p>
<p>Thank you for taking your time to read this awfully long post, I hope for a few replies, and good luck to all ED 1 applicants!</p>
<p>Okay, I went through the ED1 thread from last year, and looked through other posts of anyone whose major was changed. Last year it was also changed to GLS, apparently, but I’m assuming it’s the same situation. Here are the users:</p>
<p>jdeanmorgan-- changed to LSP, didn’t post a decision
aou113-- changed to LSP, didn’t post a decision
sweetdreams1210-- changed to GLS, accepted for LSP (applied for journalism)
alvclaudia-- changed to GLS, accepted for LSP (applied for journalism)
ladyinpurple25-- changed to GLS, didn’t post a decision</p>
<p>The first two users weren’t very active (only 4 posts total, iirc), so the fact that they didn’t post a decision doesn’t necessarily mean that they were rejected. idk if this helps calm any nerves, because it’s inconclusive, but I did my best. Good luck everyone, 5 days… and a half.</p>
<p>@tniemann Thank you so much! I really appreciate you going through last year’s thread to answer my questions. :)</p>
<p>Some updates: I just called NYU Admissions. The speaker didn’t ask for my ID or anything, which clearly means admissions generally gets a lot of these types of calls regarding an Application Status change. Very vague and quick conversation as well. He also told me that anyone who checked the “Yes” box stating: </p>
<p>B. If, after reviewing your application, we are unable to offer you admission to the school, college, or program you have selected and we believe another school, college, or program at NYU may be a better fit based on your qualifications, would you like to be considered for admission to another school, college, or program?</p>
<p>Then supposedly there’s an automatic change to your NYU Albert account from “CAS” to “Liberal Studies” when it comes closer to the deadline. This is just to “show that they acknowledge you checked the “yes” box and nothing more.” Can anyone affirm if they checked “yes,” yet nothing changed?</p>
<p>Update: E-mail from admissions (specifically the woman who focuses on my county)</p>
<p>Thank you for your email. Since you indicated in your application that you would like to be considered for alternate programs, the Liberal Studies program is a program that you can be considered for. It is not indicative of a decision, just a system policy that we do on our end to consider students for alternate programs who check the box on the application.</p>
<p>but the box asking to indicate another school you’d like to be considered for isn’t the same as the LSP box. from what I remember, there was a separate section for the LSP program. so you could have checked the first box saying you’d like to be considered for another school without saying you’re interested in LSP…if that makes any sense.</p>
<p>@leggggy is right, there were two different boxes. the LSP one was where you could elaborate on different locations (NYU Florence, Paris, etc) and the other one was just a check box where it also asked if you wanted to be considered for NYU Poly i think</p>
<p>leggggy is right…there are a few questions: if we are unable to offer you admission to the school of your choice, do you want to be considered for another school? yes or no; then another one specifically about whether you want LSP and if so, do you want to spend your freshman year in this program in Paris, Florence, NY or London; then the last question asks if you are interested in Polytech. </p>
<p>So…I would think that the only ones who see the change to LSP are those that expressed an interest. If you see the change to LSP but did not indicate your interest, then maybe it falls under the 1st scenario where they cannot offer you the school of choice, so they are offering this as an alternative. Does this make sense?</p>
<p>@nyu2017 I was thinking the same thing! That anyone who checked “yes” on the form saying they were interested in other programs would get the switch on Albert. However, I addressed a few of my peers who applied to CAS, who checked the box, but did not get that switch.</p>
<p>Oh, and although I’m not positive, people should NOT be worried if they didn’t get a switch. Especially if they didn’t apply to CAS and instead, another branch. Liberal Studies is strongly integrated with CAS and therefore the majority who are considered are the potential CAS students.</p>
<p>@collegebound7895 Hmm, apparently not. There are many posts / sites indicating that people who apply for Stern are almost never considered for another program, especially LS. It’s either Accept or Reject for Stern even if you checked the box!</p>
<p>Apparently last year the rejection emails came out in the morning/early afternoon, and acceptance emails & financial aid stuff on albert came early afternoon, most emails later in the afternoon.</p>
