<p>I noticed that many people are getting their decisions lately, and thought that it'd be nice to have an organized decision thread to see what caliber of students are coming in this year. This will not only help us distinguish ourselves from the past years' applicants, but also greatly help prospective students applying for NYU in the future. (I remember picking at last year's decisions thread when I was applying for the college).</p>
<p>It'd be the best if this thread is kept clean, meaning only decisions and stats are posted. Other topics can be discussed through other threads, and organized decision threads like this, again, can be very useful to many people.</p>
<p>I will provide with the template below, and start with my own stats and decisions :) </p>
