<p>Got into Emerson, so I very well might go there.
A sincere congrats to all who were accepted. You earned it. :D</p>
<p>Will NYU post their acceptance rate for ED this year anywhere? I’m sure we would all like to know how many got in.</p>
<p>Yeah I’d like to know the statistics…they’ve gotta be somewhere…</p>
<p>I doubt they’ll post any class statistics until both ED and RD admissions are through. Probably even after that.</p>
<p>Stohare (as he already posted) got a lower SAT score than me and someone got a 1720…</p>
<p>it probably also depends on what school and major you applied to but maybe reporting my SAT 2s was a bad idea. and showing it on the report. but i reported my AP scores too. My sat 2 scores were beyond horrible lol like the scores are unheard of but the ap scores were 3s. i know that aint good but ppl got in with that. it kinda sucks but ive gotten the chance to appeal, which they dont allow others to do.</p>
<p>could someone chance me? I havent gotten my letter but I have a feeling
tell me i’m wrong? </p>

<p>i highly doubt they’re making an exception for you to appeal. they probably get tons of calls from people who won’t accept their rejection, and then tell them they can write a letter so people will stop calling them. but as has been said in other threads, there is a 0% chance of that changing jack.</p>

It’s very unlike me to even acknowledge your statements but I feel the need to address this:
-How did you read your teachers recs? Don’t you need to waive the right to access them before giving your teachers the forms?
-You really shouldn’t blame just your teacher recs. You probably didn’t have the stats either, and if someone with worse stats got in over you, they may have wrote better essays, you don’t know.
-In any case, you got rejected. That is disappointing, yes, but a lot of people get rejected from colleges, you are not alone or unique in that sense. There really isn’t anything you can do about it, and even if you can, it’s probably not worth doing. Your time and energy would be better spent on your current class work and your other applications.</p>
<p>the kid who got a 1720 also had a 4.0 average and had some AP classes, and great ec’s</p>
<p>Yep, I think it’s me that you are referring to. Cause really, the ACT/SAT is my only bad factor. And I guess NYU saw that I was great in so many other ways that a test score couldnt show.</p>
<p>ive posted this already but i had to obtain the letter to send for several scholarships. and yeahh i guess ur right lol i feel like im the only one rejected lol cuz no one posts anything on here! about being rejected but umm…oh ya okay so ive called before and they said they dont allow appeals and ive done it a couple of times. and theyre pretty strict about this. but for some reason, the girl i talked to today, made an exception with the reasons that i gave her.</p>
<p>nothing wrong with getting rejected… it happens. Someone with a 2300 and 90+ average got rejected from Stern but he’s not complaining. Unless guidance sent them wrong info about you, or something went wrong with the app, there’s really no excuse</p>
<p>babygrl…u’re not getting in. just apply to cuny is you want to go to new york so badly. but seriously, you don’t even sound mature enough to handle the city…</p>
<p>lol thanx colij</p>
<p>i know there were some posts about people getting lsp’ed (i was lsp’ed but im attending!) but who elsethat was lsped is going??</p>
<p>oh actually nvm i found the thread!</p>
<p>Well, I got rejected. It was December 15th, and I ran to the mailbox as soon as I got home. Opened it…saw a small white envelope entitled NYU…and my heart sank. I went in my garage so no one would see my expression when I read the letter. I guess I understand why had an even smaller chance than I thought I had, being NYU got freaking 3,000+ ED apps -__-. Surprisingly I didn’t start balling or anything, I was just like, oh, okay. I even laughed, but NYU was my dream. I know God has a better place for me, as much as I don’t want to believe it. And with my career, rejection is very familiar. I know I got into Tisch, but since its 50/50, my audition didn’t cut it, I guess they don’t do a “wholistic approach” after all, or look at passion more than stupid SAT scores that don’t say @#$%. I suppose I’ll go to AMDA for 2 years, then maybe transfer? I just know I want to be in NYC and I don’t know where else in the city I’d go. If Juilliard had musical theatre, I’d go for it. But yeah…life goes on :[</p>

<p>Saw your stats on another thread. You don’t really stand out much. If you were trying to get into a competitive school why didn’t you study for the SAT II’s. You basically take them the same time as your AP exams. I’m surprised you got threes on the AP’s with how badly you did on your SAT II’s.</p>
<p>Okay, this could turn into a debate in which case we can bring it to a different thread or something, but the SAT hate is really really overstated by people that don’t do well on it. I don’t consider the SAT proof of intelligence, I don’t think someone who gets a 2300 is necessarily smarter than someone who gets a 2250. However, the SAT is a FANTASTIC way to distinguish certain students as not-stupid. I can safely say that if you are at a certain level of intelligence, you should be able to answer 25 math questions in 25 minutes with a good amount of success. I think if you are articulate and know the language the grammar parts should not be that problematic…</p>
<p>So do I think the differences between a 2350 and 2200 are overly significant - no. But with that being said, I think there’s definitely a correlation between intelligence and SAT score, and I can see how a low score can be legitimately unbecoming of an applicant. If you submit an application to my school with a crappy score (obviously there are exceptions to this - like I understand international students and such shouldn’t be expected to do as well), I can’t be too confident that they aren’t a dumb person just based on their grades. Too many things like varying difficulty of teachers, favoritism, cheating, etc. go into your 10th grade world history grade.</p>
<p>Sorry you didn’t do well, but we are faced with the simple truth that their remains the possibility that perhaps you just aren’t that smart. I don’t know about your case, I don’t know your AP scores, IQ, or anything really. i just know that the thousands of dumb people who plead “bad test taker” diminish the arguments of intelligent people who just happen to struggle on the SAT. </p>
<p>Sorry to be a ******, but it was time for some honesty</p>
