NYU NetIDs now working!

<p>Yeah, I'm hoping they havn't gotten to my application yet, either. If they look through the applications by last name, I'm at the end, and if they look at it by when the application was submitted, I'm towards the end...
I'm crossing my fingers...</p>

<p>ok, well i guess unless we hear official words from the NYU admissions staff and/or get our letters, lets just try to not predict anything...because truth of that matter is, it's inaccurate, whimsical, and quite impossible. </p>

<p>congrats to people who could log in, but don't be TOO sure, but feel good anyways.</p>

<p>to people like me who can't log in...just forget about it, chill, wait it out, and i'm sure luck will come our way.</p>

<p>I'm getting this message as well</p>

<p>ATTENTION! we have not been able to verify your identity by matching our records of your ID with your date of birth. This can occur if our database does not contain correct date-of-birth information or if you didn't correctly enter your birthdate.</p>

<p>I'm assuming only the top applicants have received an email address, since NYU has not looked at our applications in-depth or read our essays yet. Could everyone who was able or was not able to log in post their stats?</p>

<p>Mine were:
- 780M 750V 670W
- 800 Math II, 760 US H, 770 Bio E
- 3.75weighted, we don't do unweighted or class ranks
- Exam (magnet) public school. One of the best in the country
- Applied as computer science major at CAS
- Asian male</p>

<p>I tired again, hoping it would work and i got this:
Only current members of the NYU community are eligible to use this function.
:(</p>

<p>yeah none of the rd kids can get in now. i was able to yesterday but now it says "your account has expired" when i try to log in from the home page, and something like "our records indicate that you are not currently able to access this function" when i do it from the start page (the page where you go and it gives you the option to set up your account with your university id). </p>

<p>likely either nyu became hip to what had happened (the flaw that allowed some of us to check) and corrected it, cancelling the accounts of the people who had been able to create them, or they weren't finished filtering between ed kids and rd kids yet when we all discovered this option, allowing a short space of time where rd kids could get in.</p>

<p>and to all of you who werent able to log in, definitely nyu has not finished going through all of the applications yet (does anyone have an idea about the order that they go in when they do this? that may shed some light on some things), and we still aren't positive it means anything anyway (although, personally i hope it does =) but still, NOT ALL APPS have been processed yet).</p>

<p>They first sort out all of the applications by GPA and SAT scores. From there, some(usually high GPA and low SAT score) students were deferred to GSP. Some schools even send out "likely" letters to top applicants based on their preliminary look at the GPA/SAT scores. I know Duke sent out 350. The school then spends the month of March reading essays and recommendations and making final decisions.</p>

<p>Thanks, Ph0enix. That's really helpful.</p>

<p>Now if only they gave out average SAT scores by school instead of the entire University. Then I'd be a lot more calm about this.</p>

<p>phoenix, that may be how some colleges conduct the admissions review but that isn't how it works at NYU. By now, the majority of decisions have been made and the accepted students profiles have been forwarded to the financial aid office. Invitations to the Sunday at the Square events for the top students will be out probably within another ten days or so. Letters will be ready to go by the third week in March so that they arrive on or around April 1.</p>

Earlier this week the Undergraduate Admissions Office mailed our early decision admitted students information regarding how to access their NYU net-id's and NYU Home Accounts. Enrolled students at our institution use their net-id's to access a variety of electronic services at the University, including NYU Home which provides the University e-mail service and important links to registration information.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, a technical problem occured as our technology services attempted to open access to NYU Home for our early decision students and access was temporarily made available to all applicants. This issue has been addressed and corrected by our IT team and access is now limited to early decision admitted students.</p>

<p>If as an applicant or admitted early decision student to our institution you have any questions regarding this issue please contact our office at the telephone number below.</p>

<p>no, because not everyone was able to get in. hm.</p>

<p>is anyone going to call??</p>

<p>i would but i have a sore throat right now and cant really talk/be heard =)</p>

<p>Maybe a chunck of the applicants were allowed to sign in... like, all with a university number within a certain range...</p>

<p>I don't know...</p>

<p>theoretically though, wouldnt you think that would mean applicants with u-ids close to the ones of the early decision accepted kids? i know for me i applied literally the day of the deadline and i was able to sign in...</p>

<p>Well, doesn't the e-mail they sent out say that the number is randomly chosen?
I'm not really sure about this, though. Who knows what actually happened...</p>

Chances are that it was another technical grouping, such as application date. It was definately not random.</p>

<p>Anyways, for those of you RD students who were able to log in, what were your stats?</p>

<p>EDIT: matth, do you work or know someone who works in the admissions office? I am under the impression that most schools just started to look at canidates at the end of last week. I received emails from Tufts and Cornell saying that I was missing some stuff in my application, and they gave me time to fax and mail it in.</p>

<p>Oh, sorry about that.</p>

<p>I couldn't log in, anyways...</p>

<p>phoenix, no I don't work in the admission office but I have two friends who have in previous years and so I've heard many times how the process works. NYU obviously does it a little differently than Tufts and Cornell, if they're just starting to look at candidates at the end of last week. NYU has already chosen those who they want to refer to GSP, they've already had GSP info sessions. The Sunday at the Square type letters come out in early March. They can't make these kinds of decisions without having looked at all candidates. If any NYU applicants had things missing from their application materials, they would have been notified weeks ago.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info! Does NYU send out acceptances as they decide or do they wait and send them out in a bunch late March?</p>

<p>Also what's the Sunday at the Square? and how many people are invited?</p>

<p>Actually, I got an email from NYU yesterday stating that they had yet to receive my transcript, so that is not true.</p>

<p>phoenix, decisions are sent out so that they arrive somewhere around April 1. Sunday at the Square is one of a series of advance events for the most qualified students, the ones which NYU wants to convince to attend. Some of the events are for a weekend, some for a day, where they have different meetings, info sessions, activities, etc. I don't remember how many people are invited but it's a few hundred, at minimum, for each event.</p>

<p>emmared, if that indeed happened to you, it's a rarity. Transcripts are one of the first things they check for when apps are organized. If someone is just NOW emailing you, then chances are this isn't the first contact. They've probably been trying to reach you for a while.</p>
