<p>Which on is for the higher priority applicants? I know Sunday at the Square is for the top applicants, but what about these two? Does anyone know for sure?</p>
<p>cas reception is higher than university day</p>
<p>well i dont know if you can compare the two because University Day, to my knowledge, is people outside of CAS as well. I'm not in CAS, but yet I was invited to University Day. So I dont know if its all right to say that CAS reception is higher because I didn't get a CAS reception (duh cuz i didn't apply there)</p>
<p>oh well i just meant within cas. obviously if you didnt apply to cas you cant compare the two =) sorry for not clarifying. </p>
<p>clarification: for applicants to cas: the weekend thing is the top, then sunday at the square, then cas reception, then university day</p>
<p>there we go! =)</p>
<p>scrapnel how do you know this?</p>
<p>i'm just speculating, but the university day is for all applicants who are admitted and not just top notch students, or a certain top percent of students.</p>
<p>correct me if i'm wrong. I'd like to know...</p>
<p>micheeatsfish i think youre right, thats what i heard.</p>
<p>ryan - earlier in the school year i read in several different places (livejournal posts at the nyu community, and i believe some of the old archived posts here) that university day is for all accepted students, whereas the cas reception, sunday/saturday @ the square, and other non-cas events are for the top students.</p>
<p>if you go here:

about 6 paragraphs down, it calls University Day NYU's "open house," and an open house is, as it suggests, open, not reserved for specific people.</p>
<p>but i mean, the fact of the matter is you got in! when you get to nyu its not gonna be like oooh you went to cas reception...ooh you didnt. nyu itself is pretty elite. you may not think it cuz so many people on these boards seem to be getting in, but just go ask the 25,000 students a year who get rejected! congrats on getting in =)</p>
<p>scrapnel-- do you happen to remember the livejournal community for nyu, i really want to learn more about nyu as i'm having some pretty good options and i'm having a really hard time choosing</p>
<p>:-D its just "nyu"</p>
<p>i dont really know much about steinhardt, but i did a LOT of looking around at general nyu information during the waiting period (seriously...every day thats all i did. it was really quite sad) bc i only applied to two schools (one backup, and NYU, my first and, really, only choice), so if theres anything i can help you with in your decision feel free to PM me =)</p>
<p>I was asking mainly for the purposes of merit aid. If I dont get any merit aid(and i didnt expect to get any), then I probably wont go.</p>
<p>So if you're invited to University Day that means you're admitted?</p>
<p>darkpenguin, yes.</p>
<p>does CAS reception mean you can get merit money?</p>
