***NYU Regular Decision Class of 2021 Discussion***

How do you log into the bookstore?

@bambie17 the link is on the previous page

I can login to orgsync, but bookstore don’t work, so idk what to expect lol. Hopefully I get in tho. My friend can’t login to orgsync, it says “you are not authorized…”

But let’s see what happens guys, let’s just wait till the 30th. I’m just as anxious as you guys, but it’s not gonna help us if we stress even more

Thanks @indiahyland for the info!! I feel a little less anxious now

Am I the only one that has stayed away from all portals until the date? I don’t have any desire to try to read into things that most likely have no correlation to the outcome ):

@Bcrator I totally agree with you. I was trying to make a joke but seems like I offended someone in this thread.

Chill out everyone!

@Kosmkkk I actually laughed lol

@toris565 I tried at the beginning, but it turned out to be impossible not to feel curious…Either way, I am pretty sure they mean nothing.

I checked Albert and for about 10 mins I had access to a calendar labeled “Admitted Students OCR” in the events tab. Then it went away. If there’s anything to be learned from this, it’s that Albert sure is glitchy!

Has anyone had the “year” change for their financial aid (i.e. 2018 shows, rather than just “Award access not available”)?

Can someone reply with the link that they use for their portal? Mine has barely any information on it, so I just want to make sure I’m accessing the correct one. Thanks!

From the Berkeley thread

This CalCentral thing is BY NO MEANS an indicator of application status. You can only login to this system if you have a CalNetID. If you dont(of course we don’t) then you have to log into the MAP@Berkeley which is just a site for applicants. Plus, even it meant anything, if wouldn’t be this early. They couldn’t have updated the database so far from release date.
Guys plz just chill

From the Yale thread
@USUG21 @ILoveStanford My portal still says “only for admitted students”. Maybe that’s a good sign for both of you (and probably a bad sign for me haha).

@Bcrator what on earth are you talking about??

Anyone else applied to NYU School of Professional Studies (SPS)?

I did! For Hotel and tourism management! @PrettyCool

Sorry! I will stop. Funny that every college thread is trying to solve the portal acceptance indicator.
