@boogapenguin congrats!!
@rainydayzzzz im in the same boat as you pretty sure i got rejected sucks to suck.
FA Change completely takes the fun and anticipation out of February 15. Instead of finding out via an email im looking for a box on the NYU portal.
@shady16 @rainydayzzzz we will have to consider, is this theory actually true for ed2 applicants?
@boogapenguin I’ve spent hours reading old threads and from what i can tell the FA change theory is 100% legit for domestic applicants. No matter how much NYU denies it a change in FA leads to an acceptance.
Also, check Albert on the 15th instead of email. If you get in, Albert will change and will show a green accept button a half hour before you get your email. If you get the green, you got in!
@NYUFan101 Thanks for the tip I really appreciate you coming on the thread and helping us.
Quick question when was the latest you heard of anyone getting the FA change?
@shady16 Np. I was in your shoes a few months ago and was stressed as hell lol! I have heard in previous years of people getting the FA change as late as a couple days before the decision day.In ED1 this year, I think a few people got the change a couple days before, but the majority usually got the change a week - 10 days before.
And also don’t do what I did lol. I waited up all night on decision day and got no sleep. I expected decisions to start coming in at around midnight. In reality, the first wave of rejections didn’t start until 2am ish. Rejections waves were finished at around 11am and acceptances didn’t come out until 2:30. The first thing I wanted to do after I got my decision was go to sleep. Some people set the nyu admissions email account as a VIP on their iPhone so that when they received an email from admissions, an alarm would go off.
do you think we can just check the albert portal at midnight? @nyufan101
@DreamingOfNYU101 Nah you cant its around the same time as you would receive your email so thats in the afternoon
thats so annoying @shady16
they come out 3 am my time 
I realise this may have been brought up many times before, but let us clarify once and for all: Is the FA change theory valid for international applicants? Any trend at all?
This is from last years class but i still think its pretty cool

@1013gattca if you got the change as an international applicant you are still VERY likely to get in. Generally the trends are not as consistent with international applicants though
I’ve seen that if an international applicant gets the fa change, it doesn’t represent anything and the admission decision can still go either way. From ED1 some international applicants for the change and go t accepted while others who also got the change got rejected. And a majority of the applicants didn’t get the change and they’re decision went either way as well. So essentially, the fa change for international applicants doesn’t really tell you anything. And if you don’t believe me you can go and read through the ED1 page
thanks @libertysenior and @shady16
but uh, it’s safe to say, as a domestic applicant with the FA change, I’m getting in? I applied to Stern as my primary and CAS as my secondary. Do you think I could be admitted to Stern or CAS?
check your application status on Albert. If they are considering you for CAS, your school will change to CAS as opposed to Stern. If you got the change and it still says Stern, you are very likely to get into Stern. @dreamingofnyu101, Expect acceptances and Albert changes to start at around 2:30
@NYUFan101 mine just says Washington Square
That’s good as well. As long as it doesnt say CAS, you are getting considered for Stern.
@NYUFan101 its uncommon though right? For people to get CAS if they put Stern as their primary?
