Haven’t checked in on this thread in awhile, but just making sure it’s not weird I haven’t heard back yet? I applied in early February. Just worried because Emory and Cornell want me to respond by May 16th and 19th, respectively.
bro go to Cornell
For those like me who haven’t heard anything yet… Let’s hang in there and hopefully good news is coming soon!
Crossing my fingers for all of us!
@SAA2509 Yea then you better not be saying it in that way in the first place when you don’t even know who I am and how the deposit thing works lol
At least the remainder of you who are still waiting for your decision (like me) aren’t in a sinking boat because your High School has no sense of urgency/doesn’t complete the tasks they are asked…my Albert is still not all checked off because my HS didn’t send my HS transcript the first time around and I had to request another be sent to NYU last week and I can’t even send an unofficial version to NYU because its my HS “policy” not to send any form digitally.
NYU > Cornell
NYU > Emory… Georgia vs. NYC is that even worth a thought
@orangebanana what prompted me to transfer to out was heavily due to my major, I wasn’t really into advertising as much as I thought I would be, it definitely was not what I had expected (I thought it would lean towards the creative side of business, but even my professor stated that it was a management major). And the school is too career-oriented for me, and you guessed it, fashion-oriented. I mean I should’ve expected that because FASHION Institute of Technology, but everything and everyone is way too hung up on fashion- our mascot is named Stitch lol. It’s a great school though, don’t get me wrong. You can find an abundance of career and internship opportunities at FIT and all of our professors had prior working experience in the fields they teach in, and the name is pretty popular too. Let’s just say it’s not for everyone. I just want a more traditional college experience and I want to study psychology.
@fitnyc cool!!!I’m an AMC major right now and got accepted for Applied Psychology at Steinhardt! What about you?/ Also, what prompted you to transfer out as well?
@creepycupcake Congrats! I’m still anxiously waiting on my decision! I am an AMC major too. FIT was just not where I want to spend my last two years of college… I want more of a campus and community while still enjoying all of NYC. I applied to CAS for Jouralism and Stenihardt for MCC… So hopefully one works out! Are you a Freshman or Sophomore?
@creepycupcake That’s awesome! If you end up at NYU, can’t wait to meet you 
@fitnyc I am also applying for CAS Journalism major. But I just wonder that could you really choose your alternative program? I also choose Steinhart as an alternate program, but I was not able to specifically choose MMC for alternative major.
Hi guys i was wondering if any of you have experienced the financial aid change that is usual an indication of acceptance.
Mine looks like this: https://gyazo.com/ab04b84cf6b486260e1f276a129ff4d4
Is this how the financial aid status looks on the portal for everyone else?
for those who wandering the alternation option:

With the opening of NYU Abu Dhabi in 2010, we began allowing admission candidates to be considered for more than 1 of our schools, colleges, programs, and campuses. With a sweeping panorama of more than 200 areas of study spanning the world, it seemed grossly unfair (to our applicants) to consider them for just ONE of the above.
Here’s the latest dirt on your admission options at NYU:
We’re happy to consider candidates for any of our campuses. In some cases, we might even offer you admission to more than one. We’re also happy to consider candidates who have an adventurous spirit and want to study abroad right away. In some cases, we may offer admission to students with the expectation they spend their freshman year at NYU Florence, NYU London, NYU Paris, or NYU Washington, DC. Gaining an international experience early enables students to be competitive for top flight internships with the world’s most influential organizations in one’s junior and senior years, especially those headquartered here in New York City.
Still, think long and hard about your selections. If you request consideration for one of our campuses above, we will consider you, but recognize that you might get what you asked for. If you’re not up for such an adventure, narrow your selections and request consideration for only the places you would truly consider.
We’re also happy to consider candidates for alternate schools, colleges, and programs if we’re not able to admit someone to their primary area of interest. We’re thrilled to encounter students who are open to more than one option at NYU. Still, be realistic about where we may (and may not) consider you. For example:
Admission to our Stern School of Business has become exceedingly competitive. Stern is hot, plain and simple. Many of our applicants know this and want to be considered for other programs at NYU. Wonderful! But realistically, we’re likely to only seriously consider Stern applicants for one of our other business or management programs if we’re not able to admit them to Stern. We’re not likely to consider such students for other programs in the humanities (e.g. our Liberal Studies Core Program) or social sciences (e.g. our College of Arts and Science’s Economics program). Programs like Business and Technology Management (at our Polytechnic School of Engineering), Sports Management, Real Estate, and Hotel & Tourism Management (all at our School of Professional Studies) are the most viable alternative options for a student aiming to study business at NYU.
If you indicate that either an arts program in the Steinhardt School or the Tisch School of the Arts is not a first choice but instead a secondary/alternate choice (which is totally fine – go for it!), you should only attempt to arrange an audition or submit a portfolio if invited. The one arts program in our Steinhardt School that does not have an audition or porfolio review process is our Educational Theatre program. Similarly, our Gallatin School of Individualized Study, which also does not have an audition or porfolio review process, welcomes some students every year who audition or submit portfolios to Steinhardt and Tisch, and select Gallatin as an alternate program of interest.
If you do select an alternate choice on your application, please do be sure to tell us why in your “Why NYU?” essay response. It’s incredibly helpful for us to have more detail about what you are truly interested in at NYU. Don’t just check boxes on the application. Tell us what you are open to, where you want to go, and what you want to do!
@CooperJuniorI Hmmmm… I’m not sure, I just know when I wrote my essays, I talked about MCC as an alternative program, so yes maybe we didn’t really get to choose just yet.
did anyone see their transcript credit report in Albert? By clicking the link under “Application Status” it brings you to a page where all your credits from your previous university appear…
@ny64833 i think that means you are accepted
@waffle111 Yes, I called them just now and they said that admissions only come out bi-weekly. The system is not always consistent (that’s why supplementary material is not always checked off as it should be in Albert!) …so even if they made a decision last week its very possible that you didn’t get an email. A lot more people should be getting them early next week. If they are still considering your application, then expect even longer. It’s a not fool-proof system…if you are concerned that you haven’t received anything just call and admission counselor can give a rough estimate about what’s up.
I wonder if they have a ranking for all applicants since those who got their decisions have high GPA. I guess maybe they reviewed the competitive applicants first??
