<p>Hey guys~ I'm a freshman applicant for fall 2012 and I'm thinking of applying to NYUAD. It seems to be a totally new concept and pretty visionary, at least from what I read about in their website...
I'm pretty skeptical of the 2% admission rate though...I heard they got a lot of students apply just to get the denominator to be BIG during their tours in a lot of high schools around the world. Is it REALLY that hard to get in?
Also, class of 2014 students have already finished a year there. Are all the courses listed in their website actually available? I mean, are there enough professors? Will they actually open the course if say, only 3 students chose one specific course? Given that there're only 150 students and so many courses (on official website), the imagined scenario is possible...</p>

<p>Anyway, I just wanna get as much information on NYUAD as possible... Thanks guys~~</p>

<p>I’d also like to know if it makes a difference if you apply to NYU and check the NYUAD box or if you apply to NYUAD directly.</p>

<p>I guess it makes a difference because when I checked the admission profile of 2014 I saw that acceptance rate is higher for students who chose the AD campus only, and significantly lower for students who just checked that box…
I really want to know more but, it seems like not much people are interested…</p>

<p>My friends’ son actually applied and admitted there. But have not talked to him since he started school a year ago. Guess it is too new that no one on CC had any experiences with the school.</p>

<p>I would definately apply. Americans need more non-political perspective on the Middle East</p>
