NYU ED1 Discussion Thread

<p>I don’t think they’re still reading any applications or that when you send in your application affects when you hear back at NYU. I’d imagine that they’re just preparing the packages/making sure the servers </p>

<p>I have no idea though. This is just wishful thinking; I really want my decision at 5pm.</p>

<p>For me, tomorrow will either be the best day of the year, the worst day of the year, or another day of painful waiting.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone tomorrow!</p>

<p>I am overthinking every single aspect of my application to Stern, especially my SAT. If i don’t get in, i’d be absolutely devastated. Do any of you think that a 2110 super scored, but 1360 combined (650 CR + 710 M) is low for stern? I read their average is like 1450… My GPA is 97.5 weighted. Oh God please stern! accept me already! =)</p>

<p>Do you think they might send out the emails by alphabetical order?</p>

<p>Meghan- for what sport??</p>

<p>Wow… my friend with 8 APs, a 33 ACT, a 3.95 unweighted GPA and tons of leadership positions just got deferred from Duke. </p>

<p>I hate college admissions.</p>

<p>@eljamas </p>

<p>Welcome to college Admissions. It frequently makes no sense and leaves many people frustrated. I personally can attest to that having gotten into Emory, but not Cornell and Duke but not Columbia; it often makes no sense. Just wait until you get around to graduate school applications. It’s like undergraduate admissions all over again, only far worse. </p>

<p>To everyone else:</p>

<p>It’s my understanding that Early Decisions are posted tomorrow. To all of you who have applied, I wish you the best of luck. </p>

<p>To those of you who will be admitted:
Congratulations! Feel free to PM me with any questions you might have; I’ll most likely be able to answer any of your questions as pertains to scheduling/registration/financial aid/majors/housing/etc. </p>

<p>To those who will have not been admitted:
Don’t worry! It’s not the end of the world. It might feel like it is, but I promise it’s not. Look at your other options, apply to schools just as good as NYU and chance is, you’ll get into at least one of them. After a year or two, you’ll be more than satisfied with your choice, even if NYU did reject you.</p>

<p>…wow literally just found this thread after constantly looking for one since like october…i’m so nervous. i honestly don’t know where else i’d apply if i don’t get in. columbia? does that even make any sense to do? sigh</p>

<p>@hopefulNYUgirl</p>

<p>It’s highly unlikely that if NYU rejects you that you would stand any measurable chance at Columbia. Their acceptance rate, as I have read, was a mere 6.4% for this past year.</p>

<p>Gonna spend tonight curled up with a mug of hot chocolate and turn up the Christmas music. I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that everyone gets in.</p>

<p>Good luck everyone~
I really really hope all of you guys get in! :)</p>

<p>Good luck …everybody</p>

<p>Hey guys, just curiousss -
What did you write for your supplement essays?</p>

<p>These were my topics:

  • Why NYU?: Love letter to NYU, describing a dance through Washington Square park and personifying the school as a person.
  • Academic Area of Interest: Political Science & Environmental Studies + Environmental Sustainability (I’m applying to Gallatin)
  • What intrigues you?: Told the story of my life using Langston Hughes’ “From Mother to Son” as a lens.</p>

<p>Were these good topics? I’m freaking out right now . . . ACCEPTANCE/REJECTION EMAILS IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS!!!</p>

<p>I like ur first response, the love letter to nyu…</p>

<p>Good luck everyone, we’ll know soon enough:) theres nothing we can do about it now, so everyone just try to relax and get some sleep, it’ll make tomorrow come faster at least! Whatever happens happens, and im sure that even if we dont get into nyu we’ll find somewhere else that will make us just as happy. So dont stress out too much guys! The long wait and anxiety is almost over! Again, good luck to everyone, cant wait til 5 pm tomorrow! </p>

<p>Personally I really hope we alll just get in haha</p>

<p>Well said mysterioustrange. I hope the same for us all as well.</p>

<p>@tidalbound My supplements definitely weren’t as creative as yours…I was pretty straightforward with my responses.</p>

<p>.::confidence is boosted slightly::.
Thanks for the feedback heartlife and nyjetsknicks! Good luck to you two and everyone else tomorrow! I’ll say a prayer for us all. [:</p>

<p>I just hope I’ll get the email… whatever it says, tomorrow at 5pm EST… nothing would be more excruciating than to have to wait till friday…</p>

<p>what’s even more painful is i have 3 tests tomorrow (which I haven’t studied for yet) and NHS Induction which ends at 8PM. I’m gonna be in school when I’m checking it. I really hope all of you get in to whichever school you all wanted to go to. Good luck everybody.</p>
