<p>I find it a bit disingenuous that NYU would send out all of their quasi-acceptances this far from April 1st. What about people who haven't received anything? There are plenty of kids I know who are rightly freaking out over this situation. Does anyone know what percentage of applicants got the invites, and whether they mean for certain that those not getting them stand a low chance of acceptance?</p>
<p>I hear that about 15% of the class are stern scholars. That doesn't include people who don't matriculate though. Given that, I'm sure only a small percentage of the class are scholars. The majority of accepted ppl will be notified in the next 2 weeks so don't lose hope! Good luck!</p>
<p>is this only for stern applicants?? What about applicants for CAS??! :(</p>
<p>i'm referring to CAS here.</p>
<p>makes one wonder, doesn't it, they care lots about the feelings of a few, while disregarding the feelings of the majority</p>
<p>this has put my D off, who is still waiting as well</p>
<p>respect for your students, well, I think it is kind of important</p>
<p>WAITTTT! I have good news :) I just called them this morning, and they said a majority of the invites have not gone out yet.... They said they grouped the invites in "waves" because they cant have everyone on campus on one certain day, so a group of students will have one day, and another group will go out in another wave for another day and etc.... etc.... So she told me (admissions officer) to not worry about a thing and that not receiving one of those invites does not mean one is rejected.</p>
<p>If we haven't received an invite for Stern Sunday at the Square, does that mean we haven't received the Stern Scholars program?</p>
<p>Citygirlsmom, I know it is frustrating if you don't receive an invitation and others do, but NYU is doing a big favor for those it invites by sending out notice early enough for plane reservations to be made. My d. did not end up at NYU because financial aid was inadequate, but last year NYU's University Day coincided with her spring break - so after receiving the NYU invitation, my d. decided to book the flight to NY and stay for a week so she could visit Fordham and any other colleges nearby that accepted her; after that she received her acceptance package from Barnard. She enjoyed attending the NYU event even though by that time it was clear that financial concerns would take her in a different direction -- and I can see why a university as large as NYU would want to schedule multiple events on different days to keep the overall number of attendees at any one event manageable. </p>
<p>Again... I know if feels frustrating when you aren't receiving the invitation, but in our case we knew very well that my d's stats didn't put her anywhere near the top of the NYU applicant pool. With her reach colleges, my daughter was thankful to get in whenever it happened.</p>
<p>so.. if i received an invitation to this event and have also received a letter explaining that my national merit finalist status can result in a scholarship... does this mean that i am accepted?</p>
<p>Yes, they would not invite you to an event that occurs in April, AFTER official acceptances and rejections have gone out.</p>
<p>Isn't it a little scary that a National Merit Fianalist would ask that question?</p>
<p>hahaha.. it is indeed a little scary.</p>
<p>=P give me a break.. i just wish they were a little clearer on this. other schools send out similar invitations, but they don't imply an acceptance.</p>
