Any more info on Stern? At this point Iāve genuinely given up.
Thanks, love your optimism.
But it is what it is

Thatās what Iām saying. I worked too hard just to end up at a school I have never heard of and donāt really care about. NYU may not owe us anything however we all equally deserve a spot there. This whole thing just sucks and people keep telling me to just be happy with the school Iām going to which feels like a slap in the face. I regret working hard in high school when I could have just worked half as much as I did and still end up in the same position I am in now.

ik iām crazy but umm what if- just what if-
What if I take a gap year and grind out on my ECs and passion projects then increase my SAT (cuz I didnāt even study last time) and then take an AP exam (I took none this time around cuz Iām intl and AP exams are expensive asf here) and apply ED 1 for 2024, would it help ? I am desperate atp

bestie, if u r really unhappy with the school you are committed to and you think that a gap year will help you, they I donāt see why canāt you do it. However, Iāve done a gap year, Iām an intl student too, I increased my SAT score, and here I am. I did not apply ED, in fact, I was not even planning on applying bc of FA, but I did it anyway cause this college has been my dream since Iām 12, and itās the only T25 that gave me hope (the only one I applied to besides the Ivies). I totally understand that youāre desperate, cause I am too, but you need to think about it really carefully. It may not seem much, but one year is a LOT, and you should really have a stable and well-thought-out plan. Hopefully, many things will happen this last week of waiting, so letās just wait for this to end and then decide what to do next

This is absolutely true if you donāt have a solid plan like step by step what you will be doing 100%, donāt do it just transfer next year because you have a higher chance of getting in due to you being waitlisted now. NYU considers your past application
Thanks for the reply honestly I appreciate it a lot
So what happened? Did things work out fine for you? Because just like you NYU used to be my dream school when I was a kid, as I grew up it kinda mutated into Columbia being my dream school. After getting brutally rejected left and right from everywhere, getting waitlisted at NYU just felt so right, it felt like yea this is it, Iām gonna make my 6th grade self happy, he wonāt belive his mind when I tell him where heās going for college far far away from this miserable place. I put my all into that waitlist form, then just seeing NYU pick full pay kids off the waitlist just broke me (No hate to yāall tho, yāall cool as hell).
I kinda have a rough idea of what I wanna do with the extra year I get but nothing concrete. I have this one school in my country which honestly Iād be happy to attend not as much as NYU but I wouldnāt mind. The test is in a couple days. After getting back those final results Iāll make a decision. If i get in, amazing! I can start saving up for NYU grad school but if I donāt Iāll solidify my rough plan into a concrete schedule and apply to NYU ED 1. With the experience I have now with this cycle I think I can do better than what I did this time around (which was literally deciding to apply abroad in the middle of senior year, this time Iāll be prepared better)
ik yāall didnāt need all this, I just needed to get it out of the system, sorry for the long post :))
canāt do transfers because yk NYU doesnāt give aid to transfer kids
dw! Actually, I can say Iām pretty ok with the school Iām committed to (I would be happier if NYU hadnāt given me hope in the first place cause it just hurts sm). If NYU rejects me Iāll be going to Ohio State which is a T50 and from what Iāve seen itās pretty cool there, Iām kinda afraid of some things tho thereās not much diversity and being surrounded by all American kids sometimes scares me, but it was something I had to expect (after all itās a public institution). Never in my wildest dreams I thought I would be doing a gap year (or be waitlisted by NYU), but my parents got sick, so I had to do it. I planned it thoroughly, studied hard for the SATs, learned new languages and did several ECās, but it was still kinda hard sometimes (itās not common to take a gap year in my country, so people judged me a lot). I was also heartbroken when I found out that all full pay kids were getting in cause I had no opportunity against them (in terms of money), but I canāt say Iāve lost all hope. I really wish you the best and I also think the same as you, if I get rejected Iāll be applying for grad school (law school in my case), but it definitely wonāt be the last time NYU has heard from me. (sorry to everyone in the threat ik you guys donāt really need this hehe this got a little too deep hehe)
ik itās rough rn guys, but understand that this was a path maybe? itās also been my dream since 7th grade, but sometimes thereās a reasoning from the universe for things to not go exactly the way u wanted. iām not saying u didnāt work hard for nyu, but so did a lot of people (and maybe even people who did way more than us), but the school just doesnāt deserve us. weāre just numbers to them, and meant to fill up quotas.
