Congrats to everyone that was accepted!!! Also, to everyone, remember that it doesn’t matter where you go, it matters what you do there. I got rejected a bunch in the last week so I know how rough this whole process is, but hang in there guys!

Has anyone gotten into the honors program/know how that stuff works?
wheres financial aid
where is the financial aid package?
Is the waitlist hard to get off of? How many people were accepted last year?
@Sampats Nope, NYU reported a record-high # of applicants, making this year’s class the most selective/competitive yet. NYU evaluates each application holistically, so the Why NYU essay plays a big part in the overall app.
For future applicants, I suggest seriously tailoring your Why NYU essay to the school/major you’re pursuing. It’s the only way the AO can tell if you’re dedicated to NYU or not.
You can find Financial Aid in Albert. There is a link on your status page, it should be under your admission decision link.
How do you know what campus you’re accepted to?
Has anyone here who’s a transfer student has received an email yet?
Hey! I’m currently a freshman at NYU at Steinhardt studying Global Public Health, if you have any questions, let me know!
Just confused and desperate. Was waitlisted at NYU, here are my stats:
I applied to the College of Arts and Science as a Computer Science major. I’m an international student (living in Singapore but holding a Filipino passport).
Unweighted GPA: 3.98 (all As and A+s throughout HS with 2 B+s) – not 100% sure how to calculate this, just made As and A+s = 4 and B+s = 3.5
Weighted GPA: 4.24 (every school weights differently for ex. mine doesn’t weigh honors courses)
SAT: 1530 (780 on math, 750 on English)
SAT Subject: 800 on Math Lvl 2, 790 on Chem
APs: APCS A (5), AP Chem (5), AP Psych (5), AP Calc AB (5), AP Lang (4)
Current APs: AP Macro, AP Micro, AP Calc BC – My school also has these courses equivalent to APs called “ATs” and I currently take 2, AT Computational Physics (equivalent to AP Physics 1) and AT Computer Science (course after AP Comp Sci A, partially based off the discontinued AP Comp Sci AB exam)
Recommendations: Besides the one from my college counselor (which I think was strong based off the fact I knew her very well as we went on a service trip and she was the sponsor), one was written by my AP Chem teacher and one by my AP Lang teacher (both of which I had a good relationship, especially with my English teacher as he was also my former sports coach and he taught me for 2 years)
ECs: I filled out all 10 slots, most prominent activities were my involvement in dance (I’m part of my school’s dance company and am an organizer/choreographer of my school’s middle school program), paid summer internship at a tech-startup, service volunteering in my school’s Elementary division, event management for various service events and my school’s TEDxYouth@SAS event, was a Peer Supporter (helped gave new kids tours/helped them assimilate + helped plan spirit events)
Essays: Obviously those are very subjective if anyone’s curios I’ll share haha
Just confused why I didn’t make it in. I don’t know.
For reference, other school’s I’ve gotten into are Carnegie Mellon University (School of Computer Science), UMich (College of Engineering, Early Action), UCSD, Northeastern (with scholarship), UBC (with scholarship)
maybe overqualified?
when does the waitlist finish? Like when will we know?
@gungagiginggong before august 1
Sushi48, It’s hard to tell why but it sounds like you’ve got great choices!
@musicalpolitics I thought its before may first?
how do you know how much you have to pay for NYU after you see your financial aid, they dont list the tuition or the total amount you have to pay after grants and scholarships
D admitted to Tisch, Dramatic Writing

Waitlisted: Columbia, UCLA
Headed to Yale
Congrats to everyone!
I got admitted to NYU, but my acceptance letter only mentioned NYU Shanghai. I applied for Stern, so how can I tell if I was admitted into Stern?
Unfortunately no, the national decision date for students is May 1st. NYU has to see how many people enroll, if it is less than expected then they will take people off the waitlist.
@gorilla1000 - if you had NYUSH as your second choice campus the fact that you got accepted there means you were rejected from NYU NYC. They only pass an application on to the second choice college if the first choice is not an acceptance.
