<p>Is anyone else going to the CAS open house this sunday?
Is it just a long information session?</p>
<p>I’m not, but I went to the Stern and CAS open house last year. Technically, that is what they are–long information sessions. But at open house, they also let you into dorms for mini-tours and there are more students available for you to talk to.</p>
<p>At the Stern open house last year, there was a panel of students upstairs in the Kimmel Center after the regular information session that told us about their lives at NYU and we got to ask them questions.</p>
<p>Personally, I found the CAS one to be rather boring. But that was probably because I received most of that information at the Stern one as well.</p>
<p>Does NYU track student interest??</p>
<p>Not that I know of. I didn’t attend a single event before I applied to NYU.</p>
<p>Then again I did have a brother go to NYU…</p>
<p>They have 40,000 applicants. They do not track interest or give interviews.</p>
<p>I would differ on the opinion that NYU doesn’t track interest. I don’t know how much, if any, that it HELPS that they track it, but…</p>
<p>We visited NYU last October. We can MORE mail from NYU than any other college. Big splashy colorful full book type brochures. All the time! No way they’d send all that if we hadn’t visited, I’m guessing. We sometimes get two mailings in a single week. And this began as soon as the visit was over and has NOT abated for a year. Recently, they must have also gotten my D’s National Merit qualification, because they sent another letter just to state that another mailing would be coming soon!</p>
<p>^ I get the same stuff. It doesn’t mean anything. I visited twice.</p>
