NYU ED2 2019 Discussion/Decision Thread

<p>I thought it would be nice for us to have a thread for ED2 applicants.
Hopefully we can share our stats and our decisions later on.</p>

<p>That sounds good :slight_smile:
I’m applying Early Decision 2 too</p>

<p>I might apply ED 2 as well (Deciding between ED2 and RD)
Can you guys look at my stats to see whether I have a solid chance?

<p>It really depends if NYU is your first choice or not.</p>

<p>NYU is my dream school, I initially wanted to apply for ED1, but then I felt so inferior comparing to other applicants so I decided to take my time to work on my essays…Yep ED2 shall convene here then.</p>

<p>I’m applying ED2 too!! I would do ED1 but wants to perfect my supplement…</p>

<p>Looks like im joining the party! just got a deferral from my first ED school. anyone else doing ed 2? </p>

<p>Question on the NYU supplement:</p>

<p>The supplemental question asks “NYU is global, urban, inspired, smart, connected, and bold. What can NYU offer you, and what can you offer NYU? (200-400 words)”</p>

<p>Should the focus of the essay primarily be on NYU as whole or the specific school we are applying to?</p>

<p>ED1 Decisions are out, so if you are applying to ED2 please use this thread.</p>

<p>I am also applying EDII. I would have applied EDI but i wanted my application to be perfect so I waited it out. </p>

<p>Applying ED 2 here to NYUAD primary and NYUSH secondary. :slight_smile:
I really hope I get in to AD. :/</p>

<p>Can you change a RD application to an EDII or is it impossible?</p>

<p>@BigScaryMonster‌ (love the username) have you already submitted your app? If so, its impossible. Otherwise you just change it on the questions section of the commonapp</p>

<p>@imNYUobsessed I already submitted the App :frowning: I’ll try calling them tomorrow and see what they say. I just don’t want to wait until April to find out, because if I can afford NYU, that’s where I’m going </p>

<p>Yeah, try calling the admissions office and see what they can do for you</p>

<p>@SameerHussain i think you will get into NYU Poly 100%
Poly is much easier to get into than the other NYU schools</p>

<p>anybody doing NYU ED2 to CAS Chemistry major ?</p>

<p>im doin bio</p>

<p>What’s the point of applying EDII? I mean, apparently it doesn’t increase your chances, and if the deadline’s the same as RD, what difference does it make with applying RD? Thanks</p>

<p>You get your response on 2/15 and its binding </p>
