<p>I honestly, compared to these guys, don’t know how I got into NYU. I got rejected from every UC I applied except riverside and Santa Barbara. I am assuming either it was my essay or Gallatin is really easy to get into. I heard Gallatin was seen as a “joke” school from some people on here but I could care less, I love New York City ^__^. Congrats to whoever else got in! And for future applicants, if you are applying to Gallatin, work your butt off on those essays.</p>

[/ul]General Comments:
Reading more about NYU has lead me to consider it much more seriously in the past couple of weeks. The opportunities present and academic rigor are quite appealing to me. This year was quite the challenge for our school, less of us made it into top 10/ivies. #2 Finance proves NYU has the mettle to challenge these bourgeois headquarters. Let’s GO!</p>

<p>P.S. I think I see someone else from my school here. I will investigate more on this matter.</p>

I’m indifferent about their decision, and I’m not going to get my hopes up, but I felt it was worth a shot. If I was accepted, I most likely wasn’t going to attend due to financial aid, but I always felt it was worth a shot for NYU. I guess I’ll hear back after May 1. Congratulations to everybody getting accepted!</p>
