<p>I am a semi-finalist for the Lewis Rudin Scholarship and I was wondering if that guaranteed admission? I really want to go to NYU but I don't want to get my hopes up if it's still unclear if I'm accepted or not. If anyone knows, I would totally appreciate it.</p>
<p>Don't be silly, you are in. They love you. Smile.</p>
<p>lol thank you :D your response DID make me smile</p>
<p>"I am a semi-finalist for the Lewis Rudin Scholarship and I was wondering if that guaranteed admission?"</p>
<p>I've never heard of this...what is it? Is this a NYU scholarship or some outside thing like National Merit or Intel?</p>
<p>The Rudin scholarships are indeed NYU scholarships awarded to top applicants from NYC schools.</p>
<p>To the O.P., how do you know you're a semi-finalist? I'm curious because NYU doesn't usually give out that kind of information. Did you hear that from your h/s?</p>
<p>matth, I received a letter from NYU informing me that I was a semi-finalist. I also had to write an essay for them.</p>
