Hello everyone!
I just saw that I got wait listed today. My first choice was stern. On the common app, I wrote that my alternate school was CAS (thinking they would consider me for it). I just wanted to know if NYU does consider alternate schools in the admissions process or not? (whether or not I was considered for CAS)
Thanks in advance!
Honestly, NYU really is not clear about their admissions process when it comes to being waitlisted after applying to multiple colleges within the university. Obviously if you were rejected from your top choice, you’d be considered for your second choice. It is not clear, however, whether or not they believe being waitlisted for your first choice is better or worse than being considered/accepted to your second choice. Either way, I believe you can clarify which school you’re trying to get into when accepting your spot on the waitlist. Also, if you want to go to CAS only to transfer into Stern, just know that it’s fairly difficult.
Regardless, good luck and hope you get accepted!
