<p>So, I got my email from NYU today and they didn't accept me. I'm pretty sure this is because my former high school (which I attended for two years before transferring to my current one) never sent the transcripts that they told me that did back in January and I just found out last week and wasn't able to fix it in time. Though my current high school counselor sent NYU info about my GPA/credits/classes/etc. at my former school. Now they just promised me they'll send it on Monday, like that helps anything.</p>
<p>I explained this situation to NYU many times but I still honestly feel that was why I wasn't accepted because my stats were exactly what NYU accepts and my essays were awesome. I also expressed my interest and emailed them and spoke to my admissions counselor at NYU a few times.</p>
<p>Anyway, I was wondering if I could request to be put on their waitlist. I went around searching for info about it but couldn't find anything. I applied to CAS for Anthropology. Could you guys please help me?</p>
<p>I would really hate to lose any chance of going to be top choice school because of administrative idiots in a school I transferred out of. This might be a bit over dramatic to some of you but I cried for a good twenty minutes after I read my letter. I've worked my whole school career to get into NYU and it now feels like it was for nothing.</p>
<p>Thank you so much to anyone who replies, I really do appreciate it.</p>
<p>redddd, I think this may be an “impossible” decision to overturn. NYU has stated they do not have appeals because of the large number of applications. </p>
<p>Since your application was affected by administrative error and you think the missing transcript might have been a factor, you can call your regional NYU admissions counselor and ask if this, in fact, was the reason for your rejection from NYU. I am not sure if the admissions counselor will even let you know, since, oftentimes, there are many objective and subjective factors. For instance, sometimes admissions offices have at least 2 readers for an application with ratings by each. Then if the two ratings are quite disparate, the file may then be read by a third person, whose rating will determine how the gap between the two initial readers will be bridged.</p>
<p>Anyway, the point here is there are a number of factors in determining acceptances and rejections by colleges. Unless it specifically states in your file, you were rejected because of a missing transcript. At this point, I am not even sure it is NYU’s policy to let you know because that might result in waves of requests for info by applicants, which is what NYU does not want.</p>
<p>For your peace of mind, it does not hurt to approach your admission counselor and give it a shot. Do not expect much if anything from this. It is basically for some sense of closure for you, if that is even possible. At least you would know that you have tried your best. Sorry and GL!</p>
<p>Thank you. I know that they don’t tell one why they weren’t accepted but I’m hoping maybe I can be put in their waitlist after I talk to her. I’m going to call her on Monday and see if I can find out anything. I’m leaning towards it really being that administrative error because I didn’t get into a safety school that didn’t have that info either. I’m waiting to hear back from a safety and a reach that already had part of those documents cause they were sent directly by my former counselor, so I guess if I get into those then I know it was the administrative error.</p>
<p>That’s the worst, honestly, knowing that is why all of my effort went to waste. I could deal with it if I just wasn’t what they were looking for, or failed in some aspect of my application/credentials. But it’s really disheartening in a situation like this.</p>
<p>Again, thank you for your advice and good wishes. I really appreciate it.</p>
<p>redddd, I am truly sorry you found yourself in this situation of not knowing if this important omission affected your application adversely. :(</p>
<p>This is why I was pressing sonny to submit documents early and to make sure they had arrived at the right destination. He was so busy, he followed up on some and I assisted in making some calls for him. We had problem only with CUNY MACaulay Honors College not receiving sonny’s transcripts and recommendations (when all other schools had received them). We faxed over docs again and they were still not properly filed until after the deadline.</p>
<p>So I feel for you and wish you could have found out earlier about the missing transcript. . However, it is good you will try to get to the bottom of this matter. Also a positive fact is that you have been in touch with the admission counselor and hopefully this individual will be helpful, realizing what a bad dilemma you have been caught in.</p>
<p>Thank you, I really appreciate the understanding from you. I haven’t really gotten that at home and it’s making things worse right now.</p>
<p>I literally got three rejection letters in less than 24 hours from target and safety schools, so I’m disheartened and just hoping I get into the last three I’m waiting to hear from. Two of them have part of the transcript so I’m trying to keep calm about it. I kept in contact will all of the admissions counselors at the universities I applied to and they all knew of the situation. On Thursday/Friday I spoke to NYU and BU (which was a low target) and they both just told me that decisions had been made and that the transcript wouldn’t make a difference at that point.</p>
<p>The school just didn’t send two and a half years worth of my transcripts to any of the colleges I applied to. And they wouldn’t release a copy to me either so that I could send it! How does that even happen?</p>
<p>I did get into a safety, so at least I have somewhere to go. That’s at least good If I end up matriculating there I’ll probably be able to graduate in about three years and move on to study for my master’s degree. And my mother is hoping that I’ll end up applying to school in London, which I was too busy to do back when I was working with the universities I was just rejected from. Trying to look on the bright side.</p>
