<p>I would love to go there but I don't have the stats, It just seems weird this great school sending me all this stuff and I didn't even apply there or ask for any information. It doesn't seem like NYU needs to be sending info to everyone considering so many people want to go there. Does this mean they want me?</p>
<p>Sorry, but no. It means they want to up their applications so that they can reduce their admissions rate and become more "selective." (Harvard does the same thing.)</p>
<p>That being said, if you really want to go there, why not apply? What's the worst that could happen - you won't get in. The best? You do. If you don't apply, what's the worst that could happen - you don't get in. The best? The same.</p>
<p>If you can afford the application fees, the score reports, etc. then go for it. You could be surprised.</p>
<p>thanks alot</p>
<p>Most students in my school who took some sort of test have received info from NYU. 95% think they are being personally selected to receive that mail. Mail means nothing. Sorry.
P.S. My school is in a small, sleepy suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, so I hope you see how desperate NYU is to improve its rank.</p>
<p>mail really doesn't mean much, HOWEVER, it's a great opportunity to get applications in the mail from them, and learn a lot more about the school, like what schools and majors they have, and when they have their open houses and information sessions. Even if you don't think you have the stats to get in, with a little research, you may find that the individual school that you want to get into is in your reach, and if you decide to do ED, or write a spectacular essay/supplementals, you never know. Give everything a try with whatever college you're even considering applying to.</p>
