<p>Hey guys, I’m new on CC. I also applied ED1 for NYU Stern, but they sent me a ton of NYU Poly stuff over the last few weeks and I actually am going to major in Engineering if I am rejected from Stern. So I guess my question is, can I apply to NYU again if I am rejected? But for NYU Poly, not Stern.</p>
<p>@rocky12377 I’m wondering the same thing. Supposedly they do care more for test scores because of grade inflation and all but who knows.</p>
<p>something similar to what goldfishes said, i heard NYU sends out “hints” before acceptances.
like they might send you packages regarding your major before officially declaring acceptance</p>
<p>but @goldfishes, i dont think so. unless you listed you wanted to be considered for another school and showed your interst in engineering, i doubt you can apply and be moved to poly</p>
<p>i read that for stern its just accept/reject and no moves to other schools</p>
<p>@emilyy where did you hear that NYU sends out hints? :o Haha haven’t received anything at all since application</p>
<p>@businessgeek i read it on last years forum
there were FA changes + packages sent</p>
<p>i havent had a FA change or any change so im pretty nervous</p>
<p>Oh I’m fairly certain the packages sent are only for the accepted students so that would make sense! 
</p>
<p>And admissions said FA changes should be happening to everyone eventually, I’m pretty certain it should have no huge relevance to your final decision. Best of luck whatever happens!</p>
<p>@businessgeek</p>
<p>i hope so! you applied ED for stern right? did you FA change?</p>
<p>Well no one has gotten anything yet cause in sure they would have posted.</p>
<p>@rogahen i drive a stick shift jeep wrangler! so fun. it snowed so hard today where i live, no school :)</p>
<p>@emilyy Actually, I had never realized it had changed! The first time I checked it already had 2015 No self service yadda yadda. Hopefully it’s a good sign, but I’m remaining realistic.</p>
<p>@goldfishes: Did you log into your Albert Account and check your admission status?
Program Description
Do you still have Stern listed for program or has it changed to Poly?</p>
<p>Jen, stick wranglers are awesome!! Do you live in the NJ/NY area? I’m going to a cruise on Sunday in NY for Paul Walker-you should come! :)</p>
<p>any other opinions on the weight of test scores v. grades?</p>
<p>@rocky rumor is test scores are weighted more due to the different weights of grades. but honestly, take it with a grain of salt. You’re looked as a package not just scores.</p>
<p>I feel like grades are looked at more. I could be totally wrong, but most schools look at grades, classes taken in comparison to classes offered at a school, and how difficult the high school curriculum is</p>
<p>another question, does NYU recalculate GPA?</p>
<p>They do recalculate. I’m pretty sure they do it for almost all APs but I’m not sure. I know they weight all IB HLs, but no SLs which is really annoying since those classes are as hard or even harder than some APs</p>
<p>what are SL’s and I was just asking b/c of elective courses, do they recalculate those?</p>
<p>standard level. It doesn’t really matter… Is your elective course an AP?</p>
<p>no i was just thinking about the A’s i received in art. my school counts them as half credits so maybe they aren’t recalculated.</p>
