<p>phoenix, i agree with what matth (who, btw, says he knows people whove worked in the admissions office at nyu...who do you know?) said on page 6. for one, nyu has already referred the gsp kids. they couldnt do that without making their decisions at least over most of the cas/stern kids (who are the ones generally referred to gsp). also, i think nyu has been very clear that they have a very well-rounded approach to admission. if you look around at the stats of the kids accepted early decision, there are some who had really low sat scores (1800ish) or really low gpas (3.1-3.3), by nyu standards. </p>
<p>and why would colleges wait this late to look at applications seriously? with 35,000 applicants, do you really think nyu is going to give themselves less than ONE MONTH to make decisions/financial packages for most of them? no, i dont know a lot about how colleges work, but that just doesnt make any sense at all.</p>
<p>and no, i dont think that the whole 'oops we could check our email thing' necessarily means anything at all, but just out of curiosity, of course harvard doesnt give out email addresses until students declare intent, NO school does/would, but how do you know they dont create them ahead of time just in case, in order to save time? then just go back and delete the ones that dont accept? </p>
<p>(and for the record, mojojojoojo was accepted ed so he wasnt stating any of that for "something to help him sleep at night," whereas you werent able to access your account which gives you motive to want to believe it doesnt mean anything. i was able to, but like i said, i dont think it means anything at all either)</p>
