NYU ED1 Discussion Thread

<p>Well first off…Who ever just said we shouldn’t be nervous because it’s NYU not Yale or columbia…please go check yourself. I don’t think you understand that NYU is on the rise and finally getting the accreditation that it deserves. It is considered one of the “new ivies.” and not to mention that it has one of the lowest acceptance rates of any school. (Tisch and Stern both sit at 10-11% acceptance.) The competition is just as competitive as any of the other schools.</p>

<p>Second- If you read the terms and conditions right, it states that one must attend NYU if they are admitted, IF the finances work out. We have just as good of a chance as the RD kids to getting financial aid. I can tell you right now, if I don’t get money for something and I get in…I wouldnt be attending with a price at $60,000 a year BEFORE books for stern and $62,000 a year for tisch. It’s just not reasonable, nor worth it.</p>

<p>But to settle everyone else, be confident that you’ll get in. It’s a great school, the competition is rough, but it means that you have more bragging rights :stuck_out_tongue: The money will always work its self out.</p>

<p>Cornell and Columbia threads really are depressing :frowning: Everyone’s so stratospheric and they still get rejected …</p>

<p>hypothetical question:
if you didn’t (forgot) to apply for financial aid and got in, can you back out of ED because you can’t afford it?</p>

<p>@ childish</p>

<p>Yes, the print says “IF FINANCES WORK OUT.” When i talked to someone at nyu they said that’s up to the family and and a financial aid counselor.</p>

<p>SO. FREAKING. NERVOUS.
6 days and 148 hours.</p>

<p>LOL PENN decision today. Let’s see how my school does today.
Hope my buddies get it</p>

<p>So far so good for my school…
yesterday was:
1/1 Columbia
3/4 Cornell
3/3 Bucknell</p>

<p>@rycolburn10
okay thanks for answering!</p>

<p>I’ve incorporated purple into everything I’ve worn this week without realizing it. I may be going off the deep end.</p>

<p>6more days</p>

<p>i cant continue waiting…</p>

<p>I think this wait has really allowed me to find inner peace and a certain zen. Truthfully, I think I’ve forgot that decisions come in on December 15th countless numbers of times.</p>

<p>If anybody wants to quell (or exacerbate? hopefully not) their anxieties: </p>

<p>I’m sure I’m missing a thread or two…</p>

<p>@eljamas </p>

<p>Wow… Way to make me feel like I am getting rejected for sure. Their stats r so much higher then me… but I have more job experience</p>

<p>I never told you to look at them; those threads have been available for years. Definitely not assuming responsibility for that.</p>

<p>Telling yourself that you’ll be rejected isn’t worth your time though. Nothing is “for sure” until we actually receive our decisions.</p>

<p>U putting the threads up gave me an options to look at it …and true… 6more days and I will find out…</p>

<p>Yes, I gave you an option to click them (even though the threads have always existed…) You – not I – decided to click the threads. Big distinction there…</p>

<p>Yes I had the option to click it or not and I choose to click it… plus I am not putting responsibility on u, I am expressing how I felt towards the stats</p>

<p>Chill guys.</p>

<p>Portfolio (studio art) finally checked off at end of day on D’s Albert account. This is it!</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone applying. :)</p>
